Parks and recreation departments are resources and services provided for the purposes of leisure, entertainment, and recreational pursuits. Resources may be public spaces and facilities like parks, nature preserves, open space areas, greenways, trails, and built structures for sport, recreation, or arts programs. Examples of services include recreation activity programs, athletic leagues, special events, arts programs, and environmental education programs. Be sure to check out the Old Saybrook Parks and Recreation page where the department excels in: "bringing our community together through excellence in our beaches, parks, fields, facilities and programs." Here you can find out about recreation activity programs, special events and more! http://www.oldsaybrookrec.com/info/default.aspx.
