Dogs at Town Park
There have been many concerns about dogs running free at the Town Park and Veteran's Field. Please remember that all dogs must be on a leash and under the control of the owner at all times and any mess that the dog makes is the owner's responsibility to pick up. Allowing your dog to run free on any town property is unacceptable and could constitute a danger to others who are trying to use our facilities. Please keep this in mind and enjoy your walk with your dog.
Pickleball
Just a reminder that we now have 4 beautiful pickleball courts at Volunteer Field and that there is no pickleball allowed on the tennis courts at Veteran's Field anymore. Thank you for your cooperation.
We have additional programs available at shermanct.myrec.com including Mindful Movements with Jillian Rooney on Wednesday evenings from 7 - 8 pm in Charter Hall. Also Saturday morning Pilates with Victoria Gentile starting May 9 on Saturdays from 9 - 10 am in Charter Hall and Tiny Tots Soccer for all kids ages 2 - 6 at Colonial Park on Saturday mornings from 9 - 10 am
