Having priority access to the Polo Field, which is close to Black Rock Middle School, will ease some of the strain on our athletes, coaches and transportation department as we endeavor to provide a full complement of athletic opportunities to all of our students,” said Lucy Klain, president of the Lower Merion Board of School Directors.Īccording to a press release, Haverford Township will manage the procurement and scope of the improvements with input from Lower Merion Township. All of our secondary schools have teams that must go off-site for practices and/or games.

“I want to thank commissioners Andy Gavrin and Scott Zelov of Lower Merion and Commissioner Laura Cavender of Haverford for their collaboration and leadership on this project. Other improvements could include dugouts and field grading to align with PIAA standards. Under the tentative agreement, the Lower Merion School District will pay $275,000 for improvements to the site to improve community spaces and minimize neighbors’ exposure to the fields’ use.

The Polo Field sits outside Lower Merion in the Bryn Mawr section of Haverford Township near County Line Road, East Railroad Avenue and Penn Street. Under the agreement, baseball and softball teams from Black Rock Middle School will have priority use of two fields on the Polo Field site. LOWER MERION - In what could portend an important shift in plans to demolish a wooded area along with some historic buildings in Villanova, Lower Merion and Haverford officials have reached a tentative agreement for students to use the Polo Field in Bryn Mawr.
