PRC backs Sewataro appointment, approves minutes and plans summer programs
Summary
The Park and Recreation Commission voted to send a letter supporting Granger Atkenson’s appointment to the Sewataro Advisory Committee, approved January 2026 minutes, discussed director updates on summer programming and equipment purchases, and agreed to participate in Sudbury 250 Day and Pride Day outreach.
At its March 23 meeting the Park and Recreation Commission took several routine but consequential housekeeping actions and heard program updates from Interim Director Amy Hamilton.
Granger Atkenson volunteered to apply to the Sewataro Advisory Committee; Mara Huston moved that the Park and Recreation Commission send a letter of support for Granger’s appointment to the Select Board, the motion was seconded and the commission voted 5‑0 to send the letter. Mara Huston will draft the letter and copy the commission.
Hamilton reported that the Wachusett Ski Club program concluded successfully and that the department has ordered a new pool lift and purchased two new pool vacuums. The town is advertising for a program coordinator and hiring summer camp staff; programming is planned for Summer Camp, Sudbury Adventure and Preschool Pals beginning in late June. Hamilton said the department is working to address programming gaps for middle‑school students and school‑vacation weeks and has asked the School Committee for one room per school to facilitate after‑school offerings.
Commissioners discussed outreach opportunities and agreed to have representation at Sudbury 250 Day (May 16) and Sudbury Pride Day (June 14) to increase visibility and collect feedback. The commission also approved the January 2026 meeting minutes (vote 5‑0) and then voted to adjourn (vote 5‑0).
