Town Hosts ‘Visioning Forum’ December 1st to Guide Improvements to Recreation Spaces, Programming

Committee members, Town staff, and representatives from NMCOG lead discussions about recreation and open space needs.

Please join the Town of Tewksbury on Monday, December 1, 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm, at the Tewksbury Public Library, 300 Chandler Street, for a visioning forum to share initial findings and gather input for the Town of Tewksbury Open Space and Recreation Plan for 2026-2036.

At the forum, the Northern Middlesex Council of Governments (NMCOG) planning team will share initial findings and trends in open space and recreation uses in Tewksbury through several topic-specific stations such as parks and facilities, trails and connectivity, and more. Participants can provide feedback on various areas of concern, help develop infrastructure and program goals, and create a vision for equitable recreation in Tewksbury.

The Town of Tewksbury Open Space and Recreation Plan (OSRP) for 2026-2036 aims to compliment and build upon the previous Tewksbury OSRP from 2019. It serves as a framework for considering land acquisitions, recreational programming improvements, Community Preservation Act (CPA) fund expenditures, and other actions the Town and its partners can undertake to improve open space and recreation resources.

The project is supported by a NMCOG District Local Technical Assistance grant funded by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities (EOHLC).

This event is open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. Registration is encouraged but not required.
