them commendation from the Newbury recreation committee
for their exemplary volunteer efforts. Thank you, Julia, Devon
and Kelsey.
Fishersfield Park saw its first birthday this past summer. We
hosted games for the local New Hampshire division III men’s
league team. Also, this year saw the kick-off of the adopt-atrail
program. This program, with its 28 volunteers or sponsors
maintained the trails in over half of the park. Thanks so much
for all your hard work; we will meet again in the spring.
Anyone interested in helping with the trails can contact me or
Chuck Crickman. The remainder of the trail work, tree
removal and improvements were done by the Merrimack
County Academy program. The academy program is a free
service provided by Merrimack County Corrections and work
crews were responsible for tree removal, clean-up, winterizing
the park and other maintenance tasks.
This year we plan to design an interpretive trail walk guide for
Fishersfield Park. Mom’s Camp will have six theme weeks
with special activities and guests scheduled for each week.
USTA Quick Start tennis is a play-based youth tennis program
allowing up to 16 youngsters to play four separate games on a
space the size of one tennis court.
In closing 2009, we need to thank our
recreation committee and the rest of our
recreation volunteers. Because of these
dedicated individuals, we are able to offer fun
and unique programs to our residents.
