Timeline

Navigating Friends of Alton, NH Parks and Recreation

  • June 2022, The Friends of Alton, NH Parks & Recreation, a volunteer fundraising board, and fundraising arm of Alton’s Parks & Recreation Department, was originally created as the Friends of Alton Parks & Recreation Committee in June 2022. The Committee was created after several caring, community members expressed an interest in seeing improvements to Alton’s public playgrounds, especially at the Jones Field Recreation Area on Letter S Road.

  • 2022-2023, gathering information including site inspections, quotes, etc. A lot was accomplished with only 3 members! Since that time other community residents joined to help in this effort. With guidance and support from the town and Alton’s Parks & Recreation Department, the committee transitioned to a volunteer organization which will be well positioned to better support fundraising efforts for Alton’s Parks & Recreation Department. 

  • 2024, compiling feasibility study and relating to the Alton, NH Master Plan, more quotes, ideas. Creating Community Survey as well as online presence on Facebook and Website. Press release to The Baysider 12-2024 to introduce ourselves to the community.

  • **Coming in 2025** – Community Survey. Community outreach and community event presence to effectively communicate the goals of Friends of Alton, NH Parks and Rec to our community.
