West Stockbridge P&R considers dropping under-attended events to free funds for park upgrades
Summary
Committee members discussed that many Parks & Recreation parties are “not that very well attended anymore” and floated reallocating funds toward park upgrades or simpler programs; no formal vote or specific cuts were made at the Feb. 2 meeting.
At its Feb. 2 meeting, the West Stockbridge Parks & Recreation Committee discussed the low attendance of several Parks & Recreation parties and the possibility of discontinuing some events in future years to reallocate those funds into park upgrades or simpler programming.
The minutes state that "many of the P&R parties are not that very well attended anymore," and record a group-level discussion of whether some events should be dropped in favor of directing those resources to facility improvements. The record does not identify which specific events are under consideration, provide any estimated savings, or show a formal motion to discontinue programs. No formal decision or vote on event eliminations was recorded.
Committee members did approve the minutes from the prior meeting at the start of the session by unanimous voice approval; follow-up on any program changes was left for future meetings. The committee scheduled its next meeting for March 2, 2026 at 5 p.m.
