Councilman urges Town to ask Paul Smith's College to keep John Dillon Park open for summer
Summary
Councilman Richard B. Dechene said he is concerned John Dillon Park may be closed for summer 2026 and urged sending a letter to the Paul Smith's College Board of Trustees and Directors to emphasize the park's importance to the Long Lake community.
During council comment at the April 29 meeting Councilman Richard B. Dechene told the board he was concerned that John Dillon Park could be closed for the 2026 summer season and asked the Town to write a letter to the Paul Smith's College Board of Trustees and Directors emphasizing the park's importance to the community. Councilman Nathan S. Hosley also offered praise for local contractors who worked on Town facilities earlier in the meeting.
The minutes record no public comment on the matter and no formal motion was recorded to send the letter; Councilman Dechene's request appears as a direction for the Town to consider. The board adjourned at 7:32 p.m. after the comments. The town did not record a subsequent formal action on the park during this meeting.
