Providing recreational programs, services, and park & playground facilities which offer opportunities for Town Residents enhance the quality of their lives
As a Municipal Agency, the mission of the West Springfield Park and Recreation Department is to provide recreational programs, services, and park and playground facilities which offer opportunities for Town residents to enjoy their leisure time, experience personal growth, and enhance the quality of their lives.
This mission includes the establishment of a non-violence and drug free environment for our volunteers as well as our paid employees in order to maintain a safe and comfortable atmosphere for our program participants.
All program participants, who so desire, should be able to participate in activities regardless of socio-economic status or ability level. All participants should have the opportunity to learn fundamentals of the activity, develop their skills and participate equally in programs and activities.
This philosophy includes the establishment of short and long range goals and objectives for the conduct of recreation, leisure and cultural activities for and on the behalf of the residents of the Town.
The Park and Recreation Commission shall assess the status of the fields, play areas, parks and park equipment, facilities and programs, including school field and recreational areas.
The Park and Recreation Commissioners shall review all requests for the use of Town property for recreational, cultural and leisure purposes.
The Park and Recreation Department and Commissioners create and promote successful programs for our residents which instill pride in our community.
“The Benefits of Park and Recreation are endless!”
