Park & Recreation Commission

Mission

The Park and Recreation Commission is a policy-making board responsible to the town for providing year-round, high quality, indoor and outdoor recreation activities for children and adults.

The goals of the commission are to deliver programs that are cultural, social, mental, and physically based which are presented at well maintained parks and facilities. We are concerned with meeting appropriate community based needs that are cost efficient and within the reach of the overall community resource base while providing the highest level of participant satisfaction.

Safety and quality are paramount. All individuals with special conditions are entitled to full participation in any Brookline Recreation and Park program.

Meetings

Meetings are generally held monthly on the second Tuesday at 6 p.m. remotely. 

If you would like to contact a Park and Recreation Commissioner between meetings, please email the Director of Parks and Open Space, Alexandra Vecchio, and the Director of Recreation, Leigh Jackson, with your message directed at the Parks and Recreation Commissioners (i.e. Dear Commissioners). Alexandra Vecchio can be reached at avecchio@brooklinema.gov and Leigh Jackson can be reached at lmjackson@brooklinema.gov.
