Hello Friends,

As the crisp autumn air settles in and the leaves begin their vibrant transformation, I want to take a moment to reflect on the past season and share what’s ahead for our parks and recreation programs.

Summer was filled with laughter, adventure, and relaxation. From busy playgrounds and adventure filled summer camps to our amazing movie nights, it was truly inspiring to see so many of you out enjoying the spaces and programs we work hard to provide. Thank you for making the parks in Sandwich come alive with your presence!

Our team has been busy preparing for a lineup of events and activities designed to celebrate the best of fall. Coming this season is our traditionally run Harvest Moon Hayrides. We look forward to seeing all the families out enjoying a beautiful night under the moonlight. Whether you’re looking for a fun family event or some fun fall sports, there’s something for everyone this fall season. We are also very excited about some new family fun Christmas events. We of course have our ever-popular Festival of Trees this year, but in addition we will be having Brunch with Santa as well. We hope you will look through this guide and find something fun that you and the whole family will enjoy.

We’re also continuing our commitment to maintaining and improving your parks and facilities. This late summer/fall, you may notice some projects getting completed. One of those projects is the re-sealcoating of Milestone Park and Splash Pad parking lots. We are also completing a much-needed water mitigation project at Knights Park. This project will help disburse and drain water that gets retained on the south end of Knights Park during periods of heavy rain. These changes reflect our ongoing effort to maintain and provide quality space for all to enjoy.

I wish you a safe, healthy, and joyful season.
