Parks Commission Approves Backlog of Minutes

Parks Commission · Meeting of September 10, 2026

Mendon Parks Commission cleared a minutes backlog and reviewed a strong 2026 summer season while scoping 2027 changes. The board voted unanimously to approve outstanding meeting minutes dating to March 2024. A Parks Department staffer identified only as Dan reported the summer camp ran above 75 percent capacity on 44 of 45 days and above 90 percent on 42 days, while the Snack Shack posted an $11,000 loss on $22,000 in revenue.

Member Linda Thompson said she was "approached ... about a possible bus trip to New York to see the Rockettes" and had gathered ticket pricing ranging roughly $110 to $230. The commission discussed a resident-only early camp registration window, tiered non-resident pricing, and a capital list topped by a new park driveway, a security camera system, and ADA accessibility work tied to a November Town Meeting warrant article.
