According to Park and Recreation Commission Director Cara Cartello, employees are beginning on April 9 and youth sports games will launch for the season at the park starting April 13. There are currently seven teams that are signed up to use the various fields.
“We get nothing but great compliments about the shape of the field,” said Cartello.
Besides athletics, Whalley Park also has a playground and a pavilion that has been used for family parties, birthday parties, graduations, and reunions. Cartello says that the popularity of using the pavilion is growing.
“The word is getting out,” said Cartello. “We definitely are getting more calls.”
Whalley Park is ADA (American with Disabilities Act) accessible. The Southwick Rotary Club is scheduled to have three concerts in July in August at the park.
