Inclusive Statement: The Marlborough Parks and Recreation Department is committed to providing quality leisure services for people of all abilities. We will comply fully with the spirit and intention of the ADA in making reasonable accommodations for all individuals. We encourage and support people with disabilities to fully participate in all programs offered by the department. Please contact Parks and Recreation for more information.
New Programs and Instructors: Have a great program idea or a desire to teach, earn money, and give back to the community? We continually seek to improve and grow our offering of programs and classes but need dedicated, enthusiastic instructors like you to make it happen.
“Know Before You Go:” Please call our office line for program announcements and updates at 295-6203, if a staff member is not in to answer your call, we will put information on the greeting message to keep you updated. Additionally, all important department and program information and announcements are always posted under the “Announcements & News” heading on our web page: http://marlboroughct.recdesk.com/recdeskportal/.
Snow Policy: In the event of snow or pending snow, our Program Cancellation / Inclement Weather Policy follows that of the Marlborough School System. If school has been canceled or has an early dismissal, then any program for the remainder of that day and night will be canceled as well. During a delayed opening there will be no programs prior to 1 hour after the school has opened. For example, if there is a 1 hour delay (meaning school will begin at 9:35am), no program would begin until 10:35am at the earliest. Therefore, a 10:00am program would be canceled and a 11:00am program would run. The Department also reserves the right to cancel programs due to weather regardless of the determination of the school system.
