Providing Everything You Need

Quakertown Alive! and the whole of Quakertown’s downtown district was dismayed this past summer when the centerpiece fountain was destroyed in an act of unintentional vandalism. The fountain was destroyed, not just the tiers, but also the inner piping. 

The fountain had been purchased by Quakertown Alive! as the designated community project by the Pumpkin Ball Committee in 2015. It had become the focus point of the downtown, a place for people to sit and rest. 

It was great to see how downtown businesses were ready to rally and hold fundraisers to replace the fountain. And then we received a phone call from Campnia International, the company where we had purchased the fountain. They made the extremely generous offer to completely replace the fountain, inside and out, and to do the install – AT NO COST. 

Once again Quakertown has its beautiful centerpiece fountain in triangle park – and we are so very grateful.

DOWNTOWN MURAL PARK

The mural presents a panorama of Quakertown’s historical landmarks and a tribute to our first responders. In 2020, the park was improved significantly with a landscaped rock garden and beautiful pavers.

CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTING

Park trees were decorated in 2016 with twinkle lights in memory of our Shirley Errickson, a dedicated Quakertown Alive! volunteer. 

In 2018, through the generosity of the Paulovitz family, the Borough Christmas Tree “grew” another 4-feet to stand 22-feet tall. This year, the downtown has more holiday lights and Christmas decorations to make the downtown sparkle, including a Christmas Tree made of red lights in front of the mural at Broad & Front Streets. And each year, more lighted snowflakes are added to Borough streets to make them merry and bright.
