The Lakeville Park Commission meeting on September 25, 2025, focused on a proposed community Halloween event and preparations for the upcoming trunk or treat. A resident has expressed interest in organizing a free Halloween candy distribution event at Ted Williams Camp on October 31, from 4 PM to 8:30 PM. The event aims to provide local children with a safe and fun trick-or-treating experience, expecting between 50 to 100 participants.

Commission members discussed the implications of allowing this event, noting that it is not officially sponsored by the park. Concerns were raised about safety and liability, particularly since the event would involve an individual handing out candy without park endorsement. The commission suggested that the resident could instead participate in the trunk or treat event scheduled for October 19, which will feature sensory-sensitive hours and a general trunk-or-treat from 4 PM to 6 PM.

The trunk or treat event is already generating interest, with at least ten responses received. Commission members encouraged participation and collaboration, suggesting that combining the two events could enhance community engagement and ensure a safer environment for children.

The next Park Commission meeting is scheduled for October 9 at 6:30 PM, where further discussions on community events and park activities will continue.
