Welcome to Springfield, VT Parks and Recreation!

registration has been postponed until we know what we can have for a season.

COVID-19 Response For Springfield Parks & Rec.

The Springfield Parks and Recreation Department as of now will go by the State of Vermont Principals Association guidelines and we will not have any formal practices or games at least until April 6th. The outdoor recreation spaces, to include tennis courts, basketball courts, all field spaces, and hiking trails will remain open. We encourage getting outside for fresh air and exercise within your family units, but please be mindful of social distancing (maintaining a distance of 10 feet from any non- family members that are in the parks). WE are discouraging use of playground equipment due to the repetitive touching of that equipment. Also, please do not use areas that are still wet or muddy and need maintenance work, for example, the varsity baseball pitching mound and home plate area. If you have questions, please contact the Parks and Rec. Staff at 802-885-2727 or through our Facebook page. Thank you, and PLEASE take all necessary precautions!

Message from the National Recreation & Parks Association

While we believe that playgrounds and play structures should close, NRPA continues to support keeping parks, trails, and green spaces that provide adequate room for physical distancing open for the public to use in responsible ways that protect public health and safety. Through this pandemic, local parks, trails and open spaces have become even more of a haven and place of respite from the stresses of daily life and the uncertainty we face. We know the physical and mental health benefits that these spaces provide and urge them to remain open wherever possible.

NRPA recommends all park and recreation agencies monitor and adhere to the guidance of local, state and national public health officials to take proper steps in ensuring public safety in their parks, trails and open spaces, as outlined in our Joint Statement on Using Parks and Open Space While Maintaining Physical Distancing that is supported by more than 1,000 organizations nationwide.
