GaGa Ball us a form of dodge ball that’s normally played in a “pit”.The game’s roots originated in Israel. The word “Ga” means Hit or Touch, so “Ga-Ga” means Hit-Hit. There are several variations on exactly how the game is played, but we find these rules to be the most common and fair, while keeping the game competitive and fun see the Weblink or the download below.
The GaGa Pit was a Silver Award Project of Cadette Troup 20684: April Prato, Jordan Fletcher, Kelly Thomas & Kourtney Gates. The Franklintown Borough Park Committee would like to thank the Troup, their esteemed leaders and the donors for this exciting addition to our park.
Franklintown Borough is planning to apply for Grants to improve our park. Above is our newly updated park plan. This plan will need to be accomplished in stages over many years.

Rocky Ridge Park will be doing their Christmas Magic in 2020 with significant changes. There are wonderful new displays and they are offering a single price admission of just $5.00 for everyone 4 and over. They have reduced the price, because of the change to a lights-only event due to Covid-19 and not having the usual live entertainment, Santa, trains, or vendors. Due to the discounted rate they will not be offering the buy-one-get-one (BOGO) program this year .
This year continues the online only ticketing. Visitors must reserve entry online at ChristmasMagicYork.com. They are discontinuing walk-in admission going forward. Online ticketing allows elimination of crowding both along the trail and on the road. “Christmas Magic – A Festival of Lights” will be open November 27 through December 31, 2020, and will be closed December 24th and 25th. The hours of the event are Monday through Thursday 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. and Friday through Sunday 5:00 – 9:00 p.m.
For an enjoyable recreational activity checkout the website to see where the trail begins and ends in our Borough and explore it for yourself. Their trail blazes are blue. The trail is maintained by volunteers and the organization is looking for members to steward the trail going forward.
