Opening of Athletic Fields

The West Newbury Board of Health would like to thank our town’s residents for their continued patience and support as we continue to navigate the reopening of our outdoor recreation areas.  The opening of both Mill Pond and Pipestave Hill parking lots has gone smoothly and has been well received by the community.  Residents can obtain a parking permit by emailing parkingpermitwn@wnewbury.org or by phone 978-363-1100, x134.  Email requests are preferred.  Please include a copy of your vehicle registration. 

As we proceed forward the use of the athletic and ball fields will now be opened and available for town residents. In an effort to limit unintentional transmission of Covid-19, we are requesting that any small groups be limited to members of the same household.   No organized or pick-up games are allowed.  The tennis courts behind the Pentucket Middle School can be used if there is no sharing of equipment.

Maintaining adequate social distancing and wearing face coverings when necessary continues to be VERY IMPORTANT to continue the use of these recreational areas.  

Please note, the basketball courts & playground areas / structures are still closed.

We will keep you informed of any additional changes as we move into Phase II of the reopening of Massachusetts.

Again, we want to thank you for your patience and understanding during these times.
