Commission reviews Memorial Park athletic court upgrade plan

At Memorial Park, the Parks and Recreation Commission took up a staff report and presentation on improving the park's athletic courts, the top item on an agenda otherwise filled with routine business.

The commission also moved to pick members for a new subcommittee dedicated to fundraising for the Memorial Park project, a sign that staff expect the court upgrades to need money beyond what's in the town's recreation budget.

Agenda materials don't specify a cost estimate, project timeline, or staff recommendation, and no outcome or vote is recorded in the available documents, so it's not yet clear which upgrades are on the table or when work might start.

The same meeting covered a review of the 2026 Live on the Avenue event and a proposed new format for the 2027 Teen Battle of the Bands, plus routine financial and staff updates.
