The Board of Park Commissioners meeting held on September 10, 2026, focused primarily on public health and park facility updates. A significant portion of the discussion centered on the proposal to install Narcan distribution boxes in select parks to increase access to opioid overdose reversal medication. The board voted to place a Narcan box at Turners Pond with a limit of five doses per box, emphasizing locations away from playgrounds to prevent misuse by children. Additionally, updates were provided on the Lower Guy turf field project, which has received approval to move forward with bidding expected in the fall, though concerns about potential cost increases and funding were noted. The board also discussed upcoming Community Preservation Act (CPA) funding applications for various park improvement projects, prioritizing those ready to proceed immediately, such as Andrews and Mary C fields. Other topics included maintenance issues at Kelly Field, summer and fall recreational programming, and plans to enhance summer concert series with potential sponsorships and food trucks. A motion was passed allowing directors to approve purchases under $5,000 without a purchase order to streamline procurement. The meeting concluded with plans to review and finalize a parks master plan report before presenting it to the select board.
