Trails Information

In October, 2008, the Conway Trails Committee merged with the Conway Parks & Recreation committee bringing Walter Goodridge as a new Parks & Rec committee member.  Thanks to Walter and other previous Trail Committee members for producing a map.  Also thanks to Western Massachusetts Electric Co. for granting the funds to make this possible.

Parks & Recreation Calendar of Events

Conway Ultimate

Sundays in July and August at the Town Field 5:00 to 7:30pm. Come join in a weekly pick-up game open to all ages and genders. Some basic disc skills are desirable, but we are looking to have fun. Ultimate stresses sportsmanship and fair play. Competitive play is encouraged, but never at the expense of respect between players, adherence to the rules, and the basic joy of play. Bring a disc and water, no cleats. Questions or suggestions? Gerry LeBlanc at gerry@gerryleblanc.com.
