Chester County Parks + Preservation Director David Stauffer announced the appointment of Andrew McMullen as the County’s new Parks and Trails Manager. McMullen moves to this role following 22 years with the department starting as a part-time maintenance worker, becoming a Regional Park Ranger and later, serving as the Assistant Parks and Trails Manager.
“Andrew’s strong leadership qualities and enthusiasm for connecting visitors with our Chester County parks and trails make him a great fit for the position,” said Stauffer.
As the Parks and Trails Manager, McMullen is responsible for the day-to-day management and operations of Chester County’s seven regional park sites and the three regional trails. McMullen succeeds Owen Prusack who retired in November after 41 years with the County.
