Hello, Burlington!

I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Brendan Egan, Burlington’s Parks & Recreation Director. Most of us are familiar with the seasonal catalog and programs offered by the Parks & Recreation department, but did you know the Recreation Department is also responsible for all our outdoor recreation facilities, including fields, parks, and school fields?

Just in time for spring, we discuss the ins and outs of field management and budgeting constraints and so much more.

Join us, and enjoy!
