| Commissioner’s Corner
Our Department was very busy this summer with many successful camps, programs, swim and tennis lessons and free summer concerts. We would like to thank the following for their sponsorship of the 2010 Summer Concert Series: Fathers & Sons, Hampden Bank, Spa on the Green, PeoplesBank and the Longmeadow Cultural Council. The series would not have been possible without their support and generosity. Thank you to everyone who joined us for the first-ever Community Fun Field Day at Greenwood Park on July 5. The Longmeadow Cultural Council sponsored the event which brought together children, parents, grandparents, teens and seniors. I would also like to thank Friendly’s for all their support of our youth sports and our annual pancake breakfast.
The Board of Park Commissioners held a public forum in June regarding the Bliss Park tennis courts. We will consider your feedback from the forum as well as the survey results from our 2009 survey. A formal recommendation will be given to the Select Board on the best use of that land.
Fall brings the excitement of cheering for our kids as they play soccer, football and field hockey. Please take the time to recognize all the volunteers that organize and execute our youth sports associations. We are very fortunate to have such dedicated volunteers here in Longmeadow.
If there is an activity you’d like to see, please contact us at 413.565.4160 or via e-mail at customerservice@lprd.net. Remember to visit our beautiful parks this fall.
