Town opens full-day camp registration and approves toddler program fee resolution

Parks staff reported new facility improvements and program changes that the board approved to expand services this year.

The park recently received a larger hot-water heater to handle rentals serving 40 to 60 people, officials said, which will accommodate a dishwasher and larger events. Parks presenter Danielle announced the town's first full-day summer camp registration went live on Jan. 1 and that the town had "already had almost 20 people sign up." Danielle also said the camp will allow hours roughly from 7:30-7:45 a.m. through 4:00 p.m.

The board considered a resolution to adjust toddler program fees, noting a 5% rent increase from the facility owner (Lyle) had been factored into the proposed door-rate change. Danielle said the toddler program typically operates with a maximum of eight children per day and two teachers; the board moved and approved the resolution to adopt the fee increase so registration can open.

The parks committee also said it expects to present a master-plan recommendation by March or April following public surveys and listed operational ideas for managing parking at events such as the Milbrook Marathon.
