Hard Courts Resurface & Repair Project

2022 Annual Town Meeting voted in favor of appropriating $330,000 from Community Preservation Fund reserves to fund the Recreation Committee’s Hardcourt and ADA improvements project.

Phase One

Phase One of the Hardcourt project is to resurface Clarke, Keith, Pocasset, and Cataumet Schoolhouse hardcourts - each identified as the most critical condition.

• An RFP was issued on December 8th, and the contract was awarded to East Coast Sealcoating
• The Recreation Committee sought public input on how Phase One (resurfacing the courts) should be laid out and repainted to best serve those who utilize the courts. The survey was promoted through a media release and robust social media presence. Over 135 responses were received, and will be used to guide the Recreation Committee with their decision making.

Project Updates 

May 2, 2024

• This project requires ambient temperature for crack repair to maintain 65-70 degrees for proper drying.
• The Town will communicate court closures prior to the start of work. Keith, Clarke, Pocasset, and Cataumet hard courts will close simultaneously for efficiency.
• DPW has begun clearing vegetation from court perimeters to enhance positive rainwater drainage from the courts.

• Once work commences, a crew of 4-6 people working on this project from approx. 9am-3pm, 7 days a week.

• This work should take about 4 weeks, depending on weather, to finish.

• Courts will not only be resurfaced, but cracks will be repaired using RiteWay.

June 11, 2024

We are excited to announce that that much anticipated hardcourt resurfacing work will begin Saturday, June 15th! The DPW will be closing the hardcourts on Friday, June 14th.

This closure is essential to ensure proper drying.

The following courts will remain open to the public during the temporary court closures:

• Town Hall, 24 Perry Ave
• Chester Park, 11 Arthur Ave.

We appreciate the cooperation and understanding of the community during this temporary closure as we work toward creating a more enjoyable environment for our residents!

All courts will be oriented North to South.
