About
Merion Park occupies the blocks north of Montgomery Avenue surrounding General Wayne Park in Merion Station, Lower Merion Township, Montgomery County — a distinct sub-neighborhood developed by Ralph Madway on the former grounds of the General Wayne Racetrack after the track closed. The housing stock dates primarily from the 1920s through the 1950s, with a median build year near 1942, and consists predominantly of detached Colonial Revival and Tudor Revival homes in stone and brick construction, typically 3 to 5 bedrooms with a median interior size around 2,400 square feet. The 18-acre General Wayne Park — a Lower Merion Township facility at Maplewood and Revere Roads — is the neighborhood’s central amenity, offering baseball, softball, basketball, tennis courts (with pickleball overlay), volleyball, a tot lot, a sledding area, and picnic tables directly accessible to residents.

What Makes This Distinct
School boundary assignments within Merion Park have historically shifted: Wikipedia’s Lower Merion School District article documents that the Merion Park community was rezoned away from Merion Elementary to Narberth Elementary in 1966, and public sales data currently identifies Belmont Hills Elementary as the most frequent assignment — buyers with school-age children should verify their specific street address against the current LMSD boundary map before purchase, as eligibility is determined by street address, not ZIP code.
