The following is an update on COVID-19, also known as Coronavirus, and its effect on the Town of East Longmeadow Recreation Department programming.

Due to the outbreak, and the precautionary decisions made by the East Longmeadow School Department and MIAA (Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association), the Recreation Department is acting in accordance with protecting the community. As a result, all Recreation Department activities, special events, and programs will be suspended until Thursday, April 30, 2020.

Discussions are ongoing with the School Department and the East Longmeadow Department of Public Health who are in frequent communication with state and federal officials. Due to the fact that this situation is evolving rapidly, we will re-evaluate this suspension leading up to May 1st and take necessary measures thereafter.

In addition with this suspension of activities, all registrations for Spring and Summer 2020 programs have been suspended until Friday, May 1, 2020 when the situation will be re-assessed.

We recognize that this suspension will impact the entirety of our programs in different ways. The Recreation Office will be reaching out to individual programs with more information specific to that program.

Furthermore, the Recreation Office and Town offices are closed to the public. To reach the Recreation Department, please send an email to recreation@eastlongmeadowma.gov
