Lifeguards hit the water for rescue training

A swimmer was reported in distress at Round Hill Beach. Lifeguards called 911, provided the information that was needed quickly and concisely, cleared the water of other swimmers and headed out to find the person. That’s what happened June 30, but...

Thank you to the Dartmouth Parks and Recreation employees for their hard work.😀
What is a great way to get introduced to tennis? The answer is…
Spec Tennis!
I had a blast this summer coaching tennis for beginners using Spec Tennis! It was so much fun and the kids and adults were able to rally right away and PLAY tennis! I’m looking forward to continuing the intro to tennis programs for Dartmouth and Westport recreation in the summer of 2022!

Hello , just wondering if the town will be offering any summer camps this year ? TIA
DOES THE PARK DEPT. CLEAN ROUNHILL EVER .YOU SHOULD GO DOWN THERE AND CLEAN!!!!
Any word on capacity at Round Hill today?
Just a PSA...to the people that use "spray" sunblock. I bet that 90%of what you spray does not go on your body...as the wind comes off the ocean..you spray
and the wind sends that spray right behind you and it lands in the faces of people like me that are sitting behind you trying to enjoying the beach.
Why don't you spray YOUR body while in the parking lot...
Its so much fun trying to remove YOUR spray lotion from MY sunglasses.
Any updates on the summer programs?
Have the playgrounds in town parks officially reopened yet?
"The risk that somebody who is sick spreads this virus from coughing or sneezing outside and you walk by them very quickly, even when it is within six feet, that risk is negligible.... We always say 'never say never' in medicine, but the risk would be infinitesimally small," Henry said.
Some of your rules are unnecessary and overly restrictive !! Especially the parking rule !!
