Charlton Recreation Commission approves minutes, preps for Old Home Day
Parks and Recreation · Meeting of August 10, 2026
Charlton Parks and Recreation Commission preps Maynard Field for Old Home Day, passes on a costly wellness grant. Meeting Monday, members approved July 20 minutes unanimously and discussed turf damage left at Maynard Field after a May Highland Games event, with one member offering to haul in a tractor and trailer of dirt before the September 5 Old Home Day. Member Pat reported that a Healthy Cities Wellness Grant for outdoor adult fitness equipment "doesn't seem like it's a fit," estimating the town would need roughly $100,000 beyond a potential $50,000 award.
Members confirmed Maynard Field's football lines were correct after a coach complaint, resolved through staff members identified as Lorraine and Nick. No dollar totals were disclosed for the commission's current budget. The commission set its next meeting for September 14 at 6 p.m., in person, after Old Home Day.
