What's Going on in Essex?

Come along and see what the Essex Park and Recreation Department offers the residents of our three village.
       We maintain 10 different scenic locations that offer residents everything from swimming to baseball fields to the perfect picnic spot. Each park offers it’s own unique features to suit many needs.
       Throughout the seasons, we offer many programs that delight all ages and tastes, whether you like sports, hiking, swimming, picnicking or just taking a stroll….and don’t forget, we have something for man’s best friend…our new Paw Park at Viney Hill Brook Park!
       Take a stroll and see what goes on in the little town of Essex.
       Along with our programs, we provide the locations for many local organizations to have their Farmer’s Markets, the Essex Lions Lobster Bake, Craft Fairs, and many other events including the popular Summer Concert Series on Wednesday nights this summer.
       The commission is constantly seeking new programs and ways to improve our existing ones. If you have any suggestions or would like to be involved, please come to one of our meetings held the first Wednesday of each month at Essex Town Hall at 7:00 PM or contact the Park and Recreation Director.
