Pardon Our Construction

As you have heard, both the Recreation Center and Stephen C. West Ice Arena are undergoing roof construction this summer. Due to construction and safety requirements, along with weather considerations, these projects must occur during the summer months. Town Public Works and Engineering are involved with the management of these projects and are working closely with the Recreation Department to minimize impact to you. However, we understand that the facility closures are an inconvenience. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please do not hesitate to talk to our customer service staff at the front desks or the facility managers. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
