Executive Summary
The purpose of this agenda item is to provide an update regarding the Department’s plan to continue to expand the services offered to the public to the greatest extent possible during these challenging times. In the return to wellness plan, staff is embracing the best practices and updated guidelines and regulations to provide a safe environment.
The Recreation Center opened on June 1. Users are required to reserve a one-hour time slot within a designated workout zone, and each of the six zones can accommodate up to 10 people. Due to the increase in allowable capacity, on June 8, several zones were merged allowing a greater flexibility in planning a workout. The Recreation Center’s lap pool opened Monday, June 8 and reservations are required. The Recreation Center leisure pool reopened in a limited capacity with reservations required on June 17.
Outdoor pools will reopen June 22 by reservation only for 90-minute time slots. Each pool will be limited to 50 people at a time. Frequently touched surfaces will be cleaned between reservation sessions.
Summer camps are continuing and organized youth and adult league sports resumed on June 8 and June 15, respectively. To accommodate these programs, the Miller Activity Complex will continue to remain closed at this time.
Town parks, open space and trails continue to offer the public access to the great outdoors. Playgrounds, including the FitGround at Philip S. Park, and outdoor facilities like athletic courts, fields and pavilions are open for public use to no more than 10 people at one time.
