Tom Burke Memorial Skateboard Park
Eli Burke conceived of idea for skateboard park envisioned and sold it to the
town, following the loss of his dad Tom Burke. Tom was a very active in outdoor
sports and deeply involved with town kids and recreational activities.
Many thanks for making this skateboard park a reality go out to:
-Gertrude A Heath, Maryanne Petrin and Lynnann Poston for organizing the many
fundraisers and finalizing the skateboard park design.
-The many contributors at the fundraisers
-The town meeting for voting in Phase I funding of $10,000
-Richard Rollinson for a $5,000 contribution in memory of his wife Carol
-Fighter pilot
Polly Stedman zeroed in on Frank and his
crew at Zero Gravity - Whaleback for their involvement in setting things up and building the park
elements
-Selectman John Chiarella for pitching the closer that got the park finalized 24
hours before Eli Burke graduated high school. It took several years but Eli can
enjoy seeing kids learning to use the facility before he is off to college.

Our Projects:
Halloween Party
Our goal this
summer was to focus on beach improvements
Mr. Bob Costello donated 3 picnic tables for the beach,
therefore we were able to replace the ones removed. We have
purchased & installed 3 charcoal grills in hopes that families
gather for a cookout & swim. Hopefully horseshoe pits will be
installed this summer as well. Our 4th of July picnic at the
beach gave us a chance to show off our improvements. The only
unfinished business is the beach sand, horse shoe pits and a
bike rack.
Meetings : First Thursday of every month at 6:30
PM in the lower level of the town office.
