🚧 John Toro Sports Complex – Temporary Water Notice 💧

As construction continues on the new sand volleyball courts at John Toro Sports Complex, there will unfortunately be no water available at the park during construction. This includes the dog park.

💧 Please plan accordingly and bring bottled or portable water for yourself and your four-legged friends while visiting the park.

We know this may be an inconvenience, and we appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding while this exciting new addition is being completed! 🏐

Construction is currently expected to be completed by mid-October, and we look forward to having the courts ready for everyone to enjoy!

Thank you for your cooperation! ❤️

💙 THANK YOU, LIFEGUARDS! 💦☀️

As another summer at the William L. Besse Municipal Pool comes to an end, we want to give a HUGE THANK YOU to our amazing seasonal lifeguards! 🛟

You did so much more than watch the water—you made the pool a fun, welcoming place where our community kids could swim, laugh, play, and make memories all summer long. ❤️

And if you ever wondered whether the kids loved you… just take a look at all the wonderful cards they made for you! 💌🖍️ These sweet messages say it all.

To our lifeguards: thank you for your hard work, patience, energy, and smiles all summer long. You made a difference, and our town kids noticed! 🥰

We’re already looking forward to seeing you next summer! 🌊☀️

Until then… keep making waves! 💙
