-Together Parks & Recreation Creates Better Communities-
The Department's goal is to provide year round leisure service opportunities for all ages in a safe environment and to maintain our parks and facilities to enhance the leisure experience.
The East Windsor Park is the hub of recreational activities in Town. The Park offers a waterfront, new lighted tennis and basketball courts, and two softball fields, one lighted. Two pavilions are also available complete with kitchens, grills (we do not provide grilling supplies), volleyball, horseshoes and shuffleboard.
For the 2005-2006 season the Park drew well over 10,000 residents. Thousands used the waterfront, 200 youths took swimming lessons, 300 youths participated in our playground and summer sport clinics, 12 teams competed in our adult softball league and 3,700 people enjoyed the use of the pavilions.
The Department also offers seasonal programs in the fall, winter and spring. Events such as Halloween, North Pole Connection, Easter Egg Hunt and sports clinics remain popular with residents. Vacation camp activities, field trips, and discounted movie tickets are also offered by our department. Over 900 people participated in these activities.
The Grounds Crew takes care of East Windsor, Warehouse Point, Prospect Hill, Pierce Memorial, Broad Brook Pond, Abbe Road and Volunteer Parks. In addition, they maintain 13 soccer fields, 14 baseball fields for the youth sports leagues. They also take care of the schools, Town Hall, Annex, Police Department, Town Greens, and have snow removal responsibilities.
