Current Projects:

(This project did not move forward at Special Town Meeting 2021). 

1. Design and Construction of Improvements at Cedar Recreation Area.

The Sturbridge Recreation Committee invites you to learn about the ongoing improvement project for the Cedar Recreation Area. The improvements include a multipurpose sports field and accessibility upgrades. This project represents the results of the Field Study funded at Annual Town Meeting in 2019.

This article will fund the finalized design, permitting and construction of improvements. Design and permitting will include a traffic study and other required elements for site plan review as well as conservation requirements such as storm water design. Improvements include but are not limited to an artificial turf multipurpose field, minimum of 50 parking spaces, and accessibility upgrades to the Town Playground, Beach and Athletic Courts. The 2007 Field Study, 2011 and 2018 Open Space and Recreation Plans all recommended additional fields in town for local youth leagues and this would be the first field constructed to meet the need for fields in town
