Welcome to Bourne Recreation

Chester Park Improvement Project – Public Input Needed! 
Following extensive public engagement, the Bourne Recreation Committee has gathered valuable community feedback on multiple design concepts for the proposed Chester Park improvements.
The latest illustration, Concept C, reflects the collective input received thus far and is being presented with two potential hardcourt layout scenarios for discussion and feedback.

We encourage residents and stakeholders to share their thoughts in the following ways:
 Submit comments online: www.cognitoforms.com/TownOfBourne/ChesterParkPublicComment
 Join the Public Stakeholder Engagement Meeting:
Date: Thursday, April 10, 2025
Time: 5:30 PM
 Location: Jonathan Bourne Public Library, 19 Sandwich Rd.
Hybrid Format: Attend in-person or via Zoom
 Register to attend (in-person or via Zoom): www.cognitoforms.com/TownOfBourne/ChesterParkStakeholderMtg

All submitted feedback will be reviewed by the Recreation Committee and considered in the next steps of the planning process, should Community Preservation funding be approved at the May 5, 2025, Annual Town Meeting.

Your input is essential in shaping the future of Chester Park—thank you for taking the time to review Concept C and share your thoughts!
