Town of Avon

AVON, CT — Local leaders are putting together a finite document on how Avon's recreational offerings and facilities will operate and what the public wants.

As a result, it is creating what is called the "Avon Recreation & Parks Master Plan," which is similar to a town's plan of conservation and development, only it deals with recreation.
