Lyme Recreation Facility News – June 27, 2020

Yes it is ready for some fun. Enjoy.

The table tennis and changing room will be coming soon. (These areas are still roped off so please do not enter, the ground is unstable).

You will notice when you drive or walk into the rec area we have newly appointed Recreation Facility Monitors. Brandi Ash and Susanne Simon. They will ask you to stop and give them a minute to check for your red resident sticker and write your license plate number down.

They will have a handout with the facility safety rules and regulations for your information. Please help them by making this area as safe as we can. Remember we are all in this together.

If you need to get your sticker call the Town Clerk’s office @ 795-2535 and make arrangements for curbside pick up or have it mailed to you.
