Riverside Park, positioned between Verona’s Arch St. and the Allegheny River, is the smaller of the two parks. It contains a picnic pavilion, a children’s playground, and a dual use, full sized tennis/basketball court. With benches situated among large shade trees overlooking a spectacular view of the Allegheny River, many individuals use the park as a quiet meditative area where they can relax. Both parks are maintained by the Verona Council’s Park and Recreation Committee headed by Councilman Dominic Conte. Under Mr. Conte’s direction, the fields are continuously maintained and groomed by the Verona Maintenance Department and other contracted services as needed.In addition to being used by the community, Cribbs Field is utilized by both the Twin Boros Scoccer Club (TBSC)and the Riverview Atletic Association (RAA) from early Spring until early Fall during the height of the sports season.

Verona Borough Council Meetings
Borough council meetings are held on the 2nd Tuesday of every Month at 7 PM in the council chamber if the Verona Municipal Building. Borough council work session meetings are held the last Tuesday of each month at 7 PM in the council chamber of the Verona Municipal BuildingPennsylvania delegates authority to borough government to represent the citizens within its electoral district in governmental affairs and to protect their inalienable rights. Being given this power, borough government is obligated to use its authority to judiciously defend every individual’s rights for the well being of the society as a whole. Borough government is a legitimate entity because, (1) its governing body is elected by popular vote and (2) because it is defined through written laws (State’s Borough Code). Borough government acts as the local overseer of rules that act as regulators that guide society. It acts as the representative that speaks for and on behalf of its citizens at the various levels of government. The role of local government is constantly evolving. As it changes, so does its influence and responsibilities to its constituents. The responsibilities taken by modern borough government is increasingly complex in nature; the actions taken by borough government may have profound and long lasting effects on the borough it serves.
