The Town of Amherst is designing a playground for the children of
Amherst, to be located in Kendrick Park. The Planning Department, LSSE
and DPW staff are working together to prepare a design, with input from
the public. During the summer of 2019 the Town of Amherst applied for a
PARC grant from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and was awarded
$400,000. In the fall CPAC (Community Preservation Act Committee) and
the Town Council voted to match this grant with about $260,000 from town
funds to build a playground that will serve Downtown Amherst. Despite
the covid-19 pandemic, work is proceeding, and LSSE and the Planning
Department want to hear from you before a design is finalized in the
next couple of months!

Board in March, 2020, and a link for submitting comments.
