The Director of Recreation and Community Programs, through the Recreation Committee, sets fees with the approval of the Select Board.
The Recreation and Community Programs Department operating budget support staff that manages and delivers recreation programs along with the supplies needed to operate those programs. Surplus revenues generated through the Enterprise (Recreation and Pine Meadows Golf Club) help fund Capital Improvement Projects and financially support other Town Services including those provided by the Department of Public Works to the aquatic facilities, tennis courts, and golf course, and payment of $100,000 per year towards the Lincoln Park debt.
