Yes! The demand for athletic fields in the area is higher than ever. Beginning November 6th, Pleasant Park will be available to accommodate a variety of athletic events throughout the year. Town programs will take priority when it comes to field usage, and times will also be designated for open public play. Athletic organizations and other private groups will have the opportunity to rent field space for tournaments and league play, just as they do for fields in our other parks. Long term rental requests are submitted to the Town twice each year. For more information about field rentals, groups should contact Patrick Fitzsimons.

To ensure that all who are interested have an opportunity to play, please observe the posted signage once you arrive at the courts.
