MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERVISOR
Spring is a great time for regrowth, both mentally and physically. The Department of Parks
and Recreation offers you and your family many programs, events and facilities to feel a
sense of renewal.
Our team has worked very hard to create new opportunities. These include programs
such as Baby Ballers, Tutu’s & Twirls, Dude’s Night, and Mad Science programs. Adults
can take advantage of the many fitness classes, workshops and more, designed to keep
you healthy and informed. Outside, our parks offer a chance to play, relax and reflect in a
clean, safe and natural environment. We encourage you to visit the many trails our town
has to offer. I hope that you enjoy and experience a season of renewed energy and enthu-
siasm.
Happy Spring,
Supervisor
