SUMMER RECREATION PROGRAMMING CANCELED; TAYLOR PARK REMAINS CLOSED

June 2, 2020

With the health and safety of residents as our priority, and based on guidance from New York State and information shared among area municipal recreation programs, the Town and Village of Canton Recreation Committee has announced that all summer recreation programs, including swimming lessons, are canceled.

While Bend in the River Park is open for walking and safe-distance picnicking, Taylor Park remains closed, including the park, beach, playground, and playing fields. The gate at the Miner Street Road entrance of Taylor Park is locked and public access is prohibited; the park entrance and grounds will be under video surveillance to discourage trespassing.

The joint Recreation Committee and the Town and Village Boards will continue to monitor the situation and local and state guidance to determine when and how Taylor Park will open; the soonest possible would be at the time of Phase 4 re-opening of the North Country region.

Everyone’s patience and understanding are appreciated.
