& our Parks & Recreation Commission

Notes from Parks & Recreation Staff

The Clinton Parks & Recreation Staff

would like to thank all of our volun-

teers, donors, and other residents who

have helped us in multiple ways during

the past year. Our department has

seen some major changes recently, and

we are excited to continue to bring

more programs and improve more of

our facilities in town in the coming

years.

We strive to provide a clear line of com-

munication for everything going on

with our department through our web-

site, Facebook page, and by consistently

publishing articles in the Clinton Item

for hot/important topics.

If you have any new program ideas

then we want to hear from you! Email

Emily and/or Jessica with your ideas

and we will let you know how we can

help possibly turn those ideas into real-

ity.

The primary mission of the Clinton Parks & Recreation

Commission is to oversee, develop, and provide programs

and special events for all ages and abilities that offer par-

ticipants a fun, educational, healthy, and memorable expe-

rience, as well as to manage and preserve the Town’s re-

sources and facilities to improve the quality of life of others.
