To the Buxton Community, March 16, 2021 The Buxton Recreation Department’s year-round operations ofters activities tor all ages, while continuing to work towards our mission of providing opportunities for community engagement, socialization, and growth for all. While our typical programming over the years has included adult and child enrichment programs, we enthusiastically dove into community events that highlight the Town of Buxton’s parks in 2020. With the help of community volunteers, and collaboration with other Buxton municipal departments, we were able to provide socialization, physical health, mental health, and overall wellness in newways as the community navigated the uncertain waters of the world-wide pandemic. I hope you enjoy reading the Buxton Recreation Department 2020Annual Report, which highlights many of our teams achievements. The best way to learn about what out department has to offer is to visit our website, www.buxtonrec.com.

I would like to thank Recreation Supervisor Grace Bibber, Recreation Programmer Andrew Heick, as well as our part time staff for the passion and energy that they bring to our programs every day. I would also like to extend a special thank you to all of our volunteer coaches-you are the heart of our youth sports programs!
