The Community Center serves as a hub for recreational, social, educational, and civic activities. It houses both the Council on Aging and the Parks and Recreation Department, with Parks and Recreation responsible for managing the facility and coordinating rentals. The Center is not dedicated to any single age group or department, it is a space for the entire community, with a focus on creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all.
Fees and charges for facility use have been carefully reviewed and approved by the Board of Selectmen and the Parks and Recreation Commission, with the goal of maintaining accessibility and ensuring the Community Center remains available to all in the Community.
