Parks and Ballfield Projects

Drainage and Park Improvement Project

At town meeting in 2011 the town appropriated $5,000 for the Parks, Recreation, and Trails Committee to study drainage repair and overall recreation field improvements in town.  This project completed and project documents follow.  In 2012 the town approved $90,000 for the engineering and permitting required to move forward with construction and applying for available grant monies.  The committee is moving forward quickly with Weston & Sampson Engineering so as to not miss any grant deadlines.  On July 27, 2012 the town also closed on the property at 37 Academy Hill Road, which will be included in the overall planning.

Memorial Park Conceptual Plan

2010 Memorial Park Study and Design Project

In 2010 the committee used budgeted funds to work with the Conway School of Lanscape Design to review the historical use of Memorial Park and to provide alternate solutions for it’s continued maintenance and beautification.  Four different sets of plans were developed along with an excellent asssessment of the area.  The committee is not choosing to fully implement any one plan at this point, but instead is using parts of different plans to beautify and improve the maintenance of Memorial park.
