Recreation Committee
The 2022 Annual Town Meeting voted in favor to appropriate $330,000 from Community Preservation Fund reserves to fund the Recreation Committee’s Hardcourt and ADA improvements project. The project, being managed in two phases, has secured a contractor to begin Phase One - resurfacing and relining the hard courts identified as the most critical (Clarke, Keith, Pocasset, and Cataumet Schoolhouse), later this Spring.
The Town is requesting community input about preferred court layouts, color choices for courts and lines, play frequency, level of play, existing location usage, and other valuable questions, via an online survey open Tuesday, April 9 - 23, 2024,
The survey should take less than 5 minutes; responses to this survey are confidential and will be used for research purposes only.
