| Star Lake Recreation discussion Tuesday at 5:30 in Library Community Room
Everybody is invited to join a meeting of the Conservation Commission to discuss possibilities for enhancing recreation at Star Lake Tuesday at 5:30 in the community room of the library or by Zoom. In discussions with State officials regarding permits for various activities we learned that the first step toward getting permits is to develop a comprehensive plan listing all the things we want to do. This meeting will be the first step in developing such a plan. Among the ideas that have been mentioned are: -- enlarging the weed-free swimming area with an additional bottom barrier and/or mechanical harvesting of weeds -- using mechanical harvesting to clear waterway paths across the lake to enable boaters to explore more of the lake -- developing walking trails for greater access to the lake -- building a boardwalk along portions of the shore to facilitate observation of wildlife -- installing playground equipment in the Town Park -- installing a Bocci court in the park -- organizing activities for children and/or adults at the lake At this meeting we plan to brainstorm, seeking other ideas. At future meetings, after a plan is developed and approved by the Select Board, we will prioritize these activities, seek grants and other funding, apply for any necessary permits and find volunteers to help implement the plan.
If you have ideas to share but cannot attend on Tuesday please email me and we will make sure that your ideas are presented at the meeting.
