Selectboard hears recreation and planning updates; splashpad fence relocation estimates requested

Jul 7, 2026

Selectboard members said the splashpad's current placement inside the pool fence limits access for non-pool pass users; Recreation Director estimates to relocate the fence will be sought. The board also discussed the Town Plan update timeline and housing task force input ahead of a July 13 draft release.

Jonathan West said town feedback on the new splashpad has been positive but noted many residents expected it would be accessible without a pool pass because it is inside the pool perimeter. Town Manager Scott Murphy said the change was made during design and construction and he has asked Recreation Director Brian Van Horn to obtain estimates to move the fence, which would allow splashpad access when the pool is closed.
