Recreation Ideas for Mount Holly

Anyone with ideas for recreation opportunities in Mount Holly is invited to a brainstorming meeting this Tuesday, Oct 8 at 7 PM in the Historical Museum.

Here is a list of ideas that have been suggested that may or may not be practical.  What could be added to the list?

  • Safer and more pleasant walking trails.  Some landowners welcome people to walk on their land but trails need better marking and publicizing.
  • Trails for skiing, snowshoeing, biking
  • Gravel side walks adjacent to some of our roads
  • Bird walks and other guided naturalist walks
  • Star Lake swimming with lifeguards and/or swim lessons
  • Playground facilities at Star Lake
  • Ice skating on Star Lake
  • Adult basketball, soccer, softball and/or bocci games
  • Evening use of MH School gym
  • Existing recreation opportunities that just need to be publicized

The MH Conservation Commission is organizing the meeting with the support of the Select Board.  Initially we hope to develop a list of recreation opportunities that we might want to explore.  Then small groups might work together to determine if an idea is feasible and what will need to be done to make it real.

You are invited to share ideas or questions by phone (259-2803) or email (david@davidsmartin.net)
