The park has a few trees on the Miner street side with mulch piles next to them. If you are a friend of the park and would like to help out, the piles need to be raked around the trees, making sure that there is no mulch right next to the trunk.

Sadly, a few dozen ash trees in Hoopes and Everhart Parks are dying, due to the relentless, invasive emerald ash borer, leaving them structurally weakened. While some trees have been treated over the years, the EAB is developing resistance to treatments. As these trees decline, the risk to visitors, staff, and physical assets increases.

While removal is incredibly difficult and a visible loss, it is a necessary step to keep our parks safe and usable. Where trees must come down, West Chester remains committed to replanting and restoring the canopy with diverse, resilient species for future generations to enjoy. Just this month, 96 new trees were planted on Borough streets and parks.
