Congratulations to John Orcutt, III, who was
recently honored at the Chester County Parks
& Recreation 50th Anniversary staff event. John
was recognized by Commissioner Terence Farrell
(right) and Parks Director John Mikowychok (left) for
more than 37 years of service to
Nottingham County
Park. Orcutt’s dedication is admirable; his tenure
was only disrupted so that he could fight for
our country in the Vietnam War.
The Chester County Parks & Recreation Board
was constituted January 1, 1958 for the purpose
of "coordinating and promoting park and recreation
facilities for Chester County."
The Department presently manages over 4,500
acres of public parkland for passive recreation.
