Parks & Rec. Commission · Meeting of September 9, 2026

Easthampton's skate park began mobilizing the week after the Parks & Rec. Commission met. The commission approved its August 12 minutes as amended by roll call, with one abstention.

Staff said the contractor, awarded the job in July, meets the conservation agent Monday at 4 p.m. on erosion controls, with concrete targeted for around October and a June 1 state completion deadline. Staff said the dog park design exceeds an acre of clearing and needs a stormwater permit, and that Nashawannuck Pond work is not meeting "100 percent of design expectations."
