Town staff presented options for Quonset Park Phase 2 that included reserving space for a temporary winter skating rink, potential rink dimensions (roughly 50x80–120 feet), and lighting strategies such as motion‑sensor, dark‑sky‑friendly fixtures. Board members and public commenters discussed locating a rink on pavement to protect turf, staffing and winter maintenance needs, and alternatives such as temporary modular rink systems.

After discussion the selectboard voted to schedule a public hearing on December 15 at 5:00 p.m. to gather broader community input on the park plan, lighting, and any potential impacts to nearby neighbors. Staff will present design options, likely including pavement siting (to avoid grass damage), lighting placement, and anticipated maintenance demands for winter operations.
