Ever wonder how community traditions, parks, and youth programs actually get built? We walk you through a full meeting where small votes and big ambitions meet: from a smooth rental property update to the glow of next Saturday’s tree lighting and the final scheduling puzzle for Santa’s Calling. Along the way, the Lions Club earns a one-day liquor license for its Super Bowl social, and we set our path for 2026 meeting dates with an eye on flexibility around the Fourth.
The heart of the conversation is a dog park that just won’t quit. We unspool the history—multiple public hearings, site concerns near a gun range, and the perennial challenge of finding a location the town can support. The solution is clear: a resident-led committee willing to form a board, pursue grants like the Stanton Foundation, and present a site that can win Town Meeting approval. If you’ve wanted a dog park, this is your cue to step forward and help carry the torch.
We also get real about youth basketball—great sign-ups, not enough coaches—explaining why practices were pushed a week while we recruited volunteers. On facilities, we outline plans to gather quotes for resurfacing tennis courts and adding pickleball lines at two locations, with a potential funding article for spring Town Meeting. There’s community fun in the mix too: limited Bruins and Celtics tickets, plus an umpire group booking our meeting room, turning public space into a hub for local activity.
If you care about parks, courts, or kids’ sports, you’ll hear how decisions get made and how much depends on neighbors who step up. Subscribe, share this with a friend who loves local projects, and leave a review telling us which community improvement you’d support next.
