      Crouse Park

    The Crouse Park Renovation Project

    The Crouse Park Renovation Project is one good example of how the community of Littlestown works together.  "The Jaycees stepped up and offered their services after the borough was unable to secure funding to replace the roof of the pavilion itself." Visit the Jaycee's website to read more about the birth of this project. Many local companies and residents joined the Jaycees to make this renovation happen. Below you can view a picture gallery of the project in process.

    The History of Crouse Park

    According to the Littlestown Historical Society's documentation, the first step toward increasing the scenic beauty and value of the ‘old town’ was the addition known as Crouse Park. This was laid out and certain improvements made in 1913 by I. H . Crouse, who then made a gift of it to the Borough. His daughters, Marie, and Esther (Mackley) planted the first tree there. The central pavilion was built by an interested group of citizens, lead by Ephriam Stravely, I. H. Crouse, and W. R. Jones. Summer festivals were held to raise money to help pay for the pavilion and other improvements brought about by this group. Open air services were held on Sunday evenings during the summer months.

    For many years the grass was mowed, the flower beds planted and weeded, and upkeep in general was done by the citizens whose property adjoined the Park, without pay, because they took pride in its appearance. Every day one of the residences of Crouse Park raises a flag (when the weather permits) to show their public-spirited loyalty. The Claude Wintrode’s have taken care of this for many years. In the early 1940's the Borough Fathers accepted responsibility of paying off the remaining dept of $1289.61 and for the general maintenance of Crouse Park.
