D. M. R. Director, Department of Community Services DATE-: July 14, 1981 SUBJECT: SPRING & SUMMER FACILITIES AND PROGRAMME REPORT The attached report from Mr. G. A. Kennett, Program Director, outlines the various facilities and leisure time activities available to the residents of the Town of Newcastle during the Spring and Summer periods. Outdoor facilities , such as ball diamonds and soccer fields are well used but we require more ball diamonds and soccer fields due to the fact a great number of adults , children and teenagers are unable to use the facilities available at the present time. In my many visits throughout the Town of Newcastle, I ciflhonestly state that all available parks , soccer fields and other play areas are being used constantly. In closing , I feel Mr. Kennett's report is self-explanatory. Thomas A. Fanning i i I File: 200-S i. i REPORT �I TO: Thomas A. Fanning, R. D. M. R.
