La Grange approves $22,330.99 recreation report and OKs lacrosse fundraiser at Stringham Park
Summary
The board accepted the June recreation report showing $22,330.99 and approved a request from the Arlington LaGrange Lacrosse Club for a fundraising tournament at Stringham Park (tentatively Oct. 31–Nov. 1, 2026) and considered a fee waiver.
The board accepted the June monthly recreation report listing $22,330.99 in the report. The Chair moved to approve and the motion passed by voice vote.
Separately, the Arlington LaGrange Lacrosse Club asked to hold a fundraising tournament at Stringham Park on 10/31/2026–11/01/2026. Town staff and recreation representatives said the club is growing and that event approval — including a possible fee waiver — would help the program’s financial stability. The board approved the request and asked staff to work with the club on final event requirements.
"This is an important event to their financial security and program growth," the Chair said when discussing the fee waiver and event approval. The board approved the two-day request while noting the club might run a one-day event depending on demand.
Why it matters: the recreation report documents program finances and the event approval supports a growing youth sports program and local park use.
