Kendrick Park Playground
The Town of Amherst is designing a playground for the children of
Amherst, to be located in Kendrick Park. The Planning Department,
LSSE and DPW staff are working together to prepare a design, with
input from the public.
During the summer of 2019 the Town of
Amherst applied for a PARC grant from the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts and was awarded $400,000. In the fall CPAC
(Community Preservation Act Committee) and the Town Council voted
to match this grant with about $260,000 from town funds to build a
playground that will serve Downtown Amherst.
Despite the
covid-19 pandemic, work is proceeding, and LSSE and the Planning
Department want to hear from you before a design is finalized in
the next couple of months! Please see
https://www.amherstma.gov/3527/Kendrick-Park-2020 for more
information, including the preliminary design that was presented
to the Planning Board in March, 2020, and a link for submitting
comments.
