Parks and Recreation is Going Green

It's not always easy being green, but if Kermit can do it, so can Hopkinton.

The Parks and Recreation Department announces that they will be going green effective this fall.

With the commitment to go green, Parks and Recreation has announced that it will be releasing its Fall / Winter Activity Brochure only in online format. Activity brochures will no longer be mailed to Hopkinton households each season.

In addition, the commission will be conducting a comprehensive survey of residents in September to determine the condition of the parks and  the quality of the programs. They are looking for feedback on programs currently offered as well as input on what you, the residents, would like to see offered in the future. They are also interested in hearing about the conditions of the parks and the use of the facilities.

"The is committed to its mission of providing and promoting high-quality recreational experiences and park facilities that enhance the lifestyle of the Hopkinton community," said Parks and Recreation Commission Chairman, Ken Driscoll. "Regular feedback from residents is a critical part of delivering on that mission."

The activity brochure will be released for the next session as an interactive PDF document here. Residents will be able to view programs for the fall and winter sessions, register and pay, all in one place. Previous participants in parks and recreation programs will be notified via email when the activities brochures are live on the website, and the commission will announce its availability via local media outlets as well.

The survey will be released in mid-September in a mailing to households in Hopkinton. It will also be made available online.

Questions about the activities brochure and survey can be directed to Parks and Recreation Director, Mike Preite at 508-497-9750.
