Spring is in the Air!

By |

After a long winter of being cooped up inside, now is the time to get outdoors and burn off some energy. Learn a new sport this spring and register for golf or tennis lessons for both youth and adults! Pre-schoolers can interact in the popular Family Fitness Fun class where mom, dad or caregiver can get fit with their child. There are still spaces available in the Body Makeover and Sculpt and Slim exercise classes that will keep you healthy and toned and begin in early April. Calling all Cheerleaders!

Recognizing National Volunteer Month

By |

April is National Volunteer month. The Parks and Recreation department knows all too well the importance of volunteers as they play such a significant role with the success of our programs. A large component of our programs rely on the dedication and expertise you share with our community. We would like to take this time to thank each and every one of you who has volunteered throughout the year. We are grateful to all the Boys and Girl scouts who have lent a helping hand to clean up our parks. Middle and High school students who are at the annual road races distributing water to runners, helping with afterschool programs and gaining valuable experience volunteering as junior counselors during our summer camp programs. Special partners who bowl weekly and encourage athletes in our Bowling Buddies program.

Suffield Police Rescue Another Quarry Climber

By |

On February 27, at approximately 4:48 p.m., the Suffield Police Department received an emergency 9-1-1 call regarding a person who had fallen off a rock formation in the Suffield Quarry located on Quarry Road at Phelps Road. This area is located in West Suffield near the Granby town line. The property, which is privately owned, is a location that is familiar to Suffield emergency services as the site where numerous similar emergency rescues have been conducted in the past. The top of the mountain is about a half-mile hike from the intersection of Quarry and Phelps roads. It is covered with trees, and the cliff facing the intersection is covered with sharp, ridged rock from past quarrying.
