MAY 2010 PARK & PLAYGROUND UPDATE

Summer is a great time of year to get out and enjoy the numerous municipal parks. The following is a list of projects planned for 2010. Spend some time at a nearby municipal park; you’ll be glad you did! For a roster of all park facilities, please click HERE. Our thanks to each municipality and the Recreation Authority for their ongoing commitment to local parks and recreation programs!

The establishment of and improvements to municipal parks are funded by the owning municipality; those park areas (over 4 acres in size) are then transferred to CRPR for regionally-funded maintenance and program services.
