Chester Granite Saw, OPEN May 18th
May 18, 2024 @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
We are pleased to announce our newest property, The Chester Granite Saw will be having a soft opening event on May 18th during Chester On Track!
Purchased in September of 2023, our volunteers have worked very hard on cleaning up the “jungle” . This lot was unmaintained for approximately 80 years. We have been removing invasive species, dead ash trees and trash for the past 7 months. Our staff will be at the Granite Saw property main entrance from 9am to 4pm located at 7 Prospect Street across from the ballfield. There is also a foot path entrance located across from the Chester Railway Station.
Please note the walking trail and area has hazards such as roots/rocks/metal etc., we advise walking sticks and boots/hiking shoes. Please stay on the trail. This property is in phase one of its cleanup and presentation to the public, expect much more here in the next year!
Please donate to keep this project and the Hilltown Hikers funded!
