Service Description:

There is a Recreation Commission consisting of seven (7) members appointed by the Board of Selectmen. One member is a student in good standing from the Murdock Middle School, and one member is a student in good standing from the Murdock High School.  Student members are appointed annually.

The Commission is responsible for the formulation of Town Recreation Policy which, at a minimum, addresses the following issues:

a. Facilities and Maintenance

b. Recreation Programs

c. Long Range Planning

The Commission is in charge of all playgrounds, parks, and other recreation facilities owned by the Town of Winchendon, which are not under the control of the School Department. The Commission and the School Department cooperate so that the optimum use may be made of all of the Town's recreation facilities. The Commission  establishes such reasonable fees for use of any recreation facilities and programs as it deems to be consistent with established Recreation Policy.
