Welcome to Erving Recreation Commission
Welcome to the Town of Erving Recreation Page. The Recreation Commission is responsible for the maintenance of our five parks and overseeing the activities and events it sponsors.
The
Erving Recreation Commission is made up of five elected commissioners, each serving a three year term. Monthly meetings are held on the 1st and 3rd Mondays of the month at the Erving Town Hall located at 12 East Main Street at 6 p.m. The meetings are open to all members of the public. Please see the
Town of Erving Website Calendar for Agenda and Meeting date details.
The Commission provides recreational programs and community activities for the citizens of Erving and maintains Zilinski Field, Veteran’s Field, Bembury and Hammock Parks and the Riverfront Park. Our recreational programs include programs such as youth basketball, baseball, T-ball and soccer. We have a summer concert series that runs June - September at Riverfront Park.
The Erving Recreation Commission provides a full day Summer Park Program during the months of July and August. This program takes place at the Erving Elementary School grounds.
Activities and events include: An Egg Hunt, Summer Park, Riverfront Concert Series, Halloween Trunk or Treat & Rag Shag parade, our Fall Festival and a winter-themed December event.
The Erving Recreation Commission is always open to suggestions for new programs for children and adults.

Playgrounds, Courts and Sports Equipment are open for public use.
This includes facilities at Zilinski Field, Riverfront Park, Bembury Park, Hammock Park, and Veterans' Field.
We recognize that being outdoors is beneficial for mental and physical health, and our parks are wonderful places for families to walk or kick a ball around together, to simply sit and listen to the birds and watch the clouds. Please use them with the safety of yourself, the wildlife, and our community in mind.
Many Park facilities are available for family events/non-profit use by reservation. Visit our Facilities page for more information.
Stay Healthy and Safe!
