Community Activities
Bryn Gweled members participate in a wealth
of recreational, social, and educational activities,
both planned and spontaneous.
Bryn Gweled and the world
Bryn Gweled residents do not close themselves off from the wider
world. Some of our immediate neighbors participate in Bryn Gweled
activities, and it is common to see walkers and joggers from the
surrounding community on Bryn Gweled roads.
Bryn Gweled members are active in
local government, and have served
on the Upper Southampton Township
Board of Supervisors, Water and
Sewer Authority, Planning
Commission, Environmental Advisory
Council, the Centennial District
School Board, and have coached
many local youth sports teams.
Community events range from covered
dish suppers and concerts to special
holiday festivities.
The Community Activities Committee
coordinates many of the activities for the
community as a whole, including an
occasional coffee house. The Children’s
Activities Committee organizes trips and
special events, arts, crafts, and
educational and recreational pastimes for
Bryn Gweled children.
From time to time committees or small
groups of Bryn Gweleders embark on
special projects such as a community
garden or a project to reestablish native
plants and stabilize a stream in a wetland
area. Many members come together on an
informal basis to share common interests,
such as aerobics, astronomy, a book club,
tai chi, or a regular woods walk to study
plants and animals.
Bryn Gweled’s physical facilities are the
setting for many recreational and social
activities. The swimming pool and garden
are seasonal centers of activity. The tennis
courts are used whenever weather
permits, not just in the summer months.
The soccer field hosts spontaneous
scrimmages, and groups play volleyball
regularly. The skating pond witnesses
graceful figure eights and vigorous games
of hockey. On snowy days cross-country
skiers can be seen along Bryn
Gweled’s woodland trails.
