Sandown Recreation Commission schedules field cleanup, orders playground chips and plans porta-potties ahead of spring sports
Summary
The commission set an April 11 field cleanup (rain date April 12), expects games to start April 20, will order porta-potties if fields are accessible, and plans new playground chips with the Sandown Lions assisting.
The Sandown Recreation Commission on April 1 scheduled spring maintenance and pre-season preparations for athletic fields and parks.
A committee member said the baseball/softball MOU is signed and needs countersignature and reported that fields are technically open but may be wet after recent rain. The board agreed to schedule a field cleanup day for April 11 with April 12 as a rain date and noted games are slated to start April 20; members emphasized staying off fields while they remain sodden.
Director said she will inspect the Miller site and, if the grounds are passable, will order porta-potties and schedule tree-cutting and cleanup work. She reported new playground chips are due at the end of April or beginning of May and that the Sandown Lions have volunteered to help spread them. The board also discussed backstop options and whether to invest in a permanent picket backstop or use additional temporary equipment; members recommended another temporary pickleball net for now because permanent installs are costly and the commission is working within budget constraints.
No formal procurement vote was recorded at the meeting; staff were directed to get pricing and bring recommendations back to the board.
