Groton Parks and Recreation Commission - 8/26/26

The Groton Parks and Recreation Commission held a meeting on August 26, 2026, where they discussed several topics including updates on the Shennecossett Golf Course, rules and regulations revisions, and the Mary Morrison open space referral from the town council. The golf course reported improved operations with a new POS system and a new cancellation policy, which the commission agreed should be formally added to the golf course rules and regulations. The commission reviewed proposed updates to park classifications and general park rules, including pet policies and tournament cancellation timelines, with plans to finalize these in the next meeting. They also considered a referral to rename a field at Mary Morrison and agreed to gather more community input before making a recommendation. Additionally, the commission discussed social media engagement strategies and staffing updates. No contract awards, RFPs, or direct procurement actions were taken during this meeting, but there was mention of capital improvement planning for the golf course to be presented in a future meeting.
