Community Park Town of Enfield takes bold steps to help our kids During the 2008 Town Board Retreat the focus was on how could we get kids off the streets and help reduce crime in the Enfield area and provide recreation activities for all groups, including senior citizens. The town board voted to hire a full-time Parks & Recreation Director, purchase the old fair-ground land on HWY 301 to be developed into the Enfield Community Park, and to contract with Region L Council of Governments to complete a comprehensive town wide Parks & Recreation plan. A director was hired, land was purchased and we are in the process of completing the comprehensive plan. During the past year the town replaced badly needed park equipment at Meyer Oak View Park and supported the Enfield Warriors Football program. The town currently uses the old Inborden School Cafeteria and Gym for our recreational activities. We are in the process of putting together a PARTF grant application to the state to renovate the old fair ground land and buildings on HWY 301. How YOU can help Fill out the Parks & Recreation Survey. Tells us what you do for recreation and what would you like for us to provide. These surveys are a requirement for the grant application. Download the survey here, print, fill-out and mail to us by December 23, 2009. We need letters of support from civic groups, churches, businesses, business leaders, state and local elected officials. Talk to kids in your area and ask what type of recreation programs would they like to see offered. Pass this information on to the Parks & Recreation Board of Directors. The grant funds are based on a 50/50 match. If you donate a dollar, we can receive a dollar in matching funds. Please consider a donation of $25, $50, $100, $500 or $1000. Of course we will accept any donated amount. The grant application is due February 1, 2010, so we must move quickly. We cannot complete this project in one year, but we can go as far as YOUR DONATIONS WILL ALLOW.
