Located in Southern Pennsylvania, about 15 miles from Center City Philadelphia. The Borough is 1.03 square miles in area and is home to over 7,800 people. Over the last three decades, Conshohocken has developed into one of the most important activity centers in Montgomery County. Conshohocken represents one of America’s most successful transformations from a mill town to a modern center of office and hotel services and water front residential living. Historically a large mill town and industrial and manufacturing center, after the decline of industry in recent years Conshohocken has developed into a center of riverfront commercial and residential development.
The Borough of Conshohocken maintains a Park and recreation Department which is charged with the overall organization and maintenance of a full array of recreational programs and activities. The boathouse facility and the programs devised and operated by the Foundation will be used to enlarge and diversify the existing programs of the Borough. The new boathouse will include a community rowing bay that will be open and available to the community of Conshohocken.
