Skate Park/Tennis Facility







This project, proposed by the Georgetown Park and Recreation Commission, asks for an appropriation of $100,000 to be allocated for the creation of an new outdoor active recreational facility on approximately 15,000 square feet of an abandoned area at the American Legion Park in Georgetown. This would involve building a tennis court and a skateboard park on an existing area that is no longer safe to use.
The project would involve excavating the existing area; the pavement of the 15,000 sq. ft. area; the installation of the appropriate drainage; purchase and installation of new fencing, and the purchase and installation of skateboard jumps.

The Community Preservation Act requires the Town to appropriate or set aside 10% of the funds received each fiscal year for each of the following areas: Open Space, Historic Resources, and Community Housing.   Once the Town has appropriated or reserved the mandatory minimums for these three purposes, it is allowed to appropriate from the remaining funds for Recreational uses.
