Tick Stations
Boot Road Park, along with some other parks in Chester County, has a tick station at Boot Road Park. Deer are attracted to these stations and receive an application of a safe tickicide (permethrin) as they feed. Deer ticks can cause lyme disease in people; these stations are being installed in County parks to protect the public.
