Mendon Parks Department

Another parking/grass update....This week the grounds crew leveled and re-seeded this area going up from Taft Ave by the basketball/tennis courts. We ask those accessing the courts and park from the Taft Ave side to please use the designated parking areas; either the paved Taft Ave lot, the grass lot around the Classroom, or the gravel lot up by the playground. There is no parking on the grass areas along the court fence anymore.

All the vehicles parking up against the tennis court fence (along with the trenching from the lighting project) have killed the grass and without grass to stabilize things, when it rains these areas wash out. Please also avoid walking on the dirt areas here when accessing the courts.

As a reminder, the courts are open and lights are on daily from around sunset until 10pm through 10/31.

For those who may have missed it, as part of this years' budget Mendon voters approved the creation of a full-time Grounds Maintenance Foreman position. This new position has allowed us to restructure and transition the landscape/grounds work over to the Highway Department and better leverage their resources to work together to complete projects like this. There's already been a ton of work done and there's plenty more to come now that the Town has a dedicated position for grounds maintenance.
