Selectwoman says dog park not the reason rec sports moved; board hears concerns about Segalla Field lease
Summary
Selectwoman Melissa Pinardi told the board the dog park did not drive the Rec Commission's move of sports to Segalla Field; Chairman Humes warned the Segalla Field is under a state lease that could be revoked, and Zoom and audience commenters encouraged residents to attend rec meetings.
During public comment Selectwoman Melissa Pinardi said the dog park was not a factor in the Rec Commission's decision to move recreational sports to Segalla Field, explaining the commission could not fund maintenance for two fields. Pinardi said the commission prioritized Segalla Field for its limited maintenance budget.
Chairman Doug Humes said he believes the dog park "is in the wrong place" and noted that Segalla Field is held under a state lease "and they can take it away at any time." Audience members said the dog park had been measured to preserve field usability. The recording secretary also read Zoom comments encouraging people to attend Rec Commission meetings and noting softball participation has dwindled, with a question whether games could be played at the school.
