Town of Mamaroneck Recreation Commission Meeting Minutes June 10, 2025 - Page 4 SUPERINTENDENT'S UPDATE CONTINUED: 19.The work was completed on Alma Field in Flint Park and the field re-opened for play on Friday, May 16th. The boys high school lacrosse program has moved over to this field for the remainder of their season. 20.We were recently informed by the school district that they are moving forward with their summer construction plans at Hommocks Middle School that will have an impact on our operation. The district is installing solar panels on the roof of the building and proposing to install solar car ports in the front half of the parking lot. Due to the nature of this work, we will not have access to the school cafeteria, which we have used in the past to assist with arrival and drop-off for campers. Any work taking place in the parking lot will have a direct impact on our camp drop-off and pick up traffic as well as affect the amount of parking available for pool users this summer. 21.As of June 5th, the school district is still unable to provide a re-opening date for the pool. They are waiting for the Board of Health approval and will not commit to any date at this time. We will continue to prepare and proceed with the hope that we will get approval soon and that the pool will be open by the end of June.
