Rotarians Plan Connaught Park Playground Development
The Rotary Club proposes transforming Connaught Park into a children’s playground with town maintenance after sod and grass installation. Geoff Davis says the long‑term project will take about five years to complete as the Kelsey Recreation Commission approves the plan. A community schools committee, chaired by Jackie Brookes, will meet soon to coordinate efforts. The commission also discusses housing the town’s electric organ at the collegiate for convenient access, with use by anyone who removes it.
