Dear Supporters of Castleton Parks and Recreation,

During the Select Board meeting on Thursday, May 28, 2026, I will be presenting a proposal for a new Parks and Recreation Management Platform that would replace HeyGov for the Parks and Recreation Department, Crystal Beach, and potentially other town departments.

The presentation will focus on the platform’s capabilities in activity registration, facility management, point-of-sale services, memberships, refunds and credits, and reporting. If approved, staff training will begin during Summer 2026, and community members will be encouraged to create accounts ahead of the transition. Registration for programs and facility rentals would begin in the fall.

I encourage you to attend the Select Board meeting on Thursday, May 28, at 7:00 PM to learn more about the platform and have your questions answered. While we do not yet know when this item will appear on the agenda, your participation and feedback are appreciated.

Join in person or via Zoom:

Meeting ID: 821 2152 8724
Phone Option: 1-301-715-8592

I am also happy to answer questions or hear your input by phone at (802) 671-8303 or by email at [email protected].

Formal letters of support or opposition may be emailed to [email protected] by Thursday, May 28, 2026, at 4:00 PM. All submitted letters will be shared with the Select Board.

As with any new system, there will be a learning curve for staff, volunteers, and users alike. We kindly ask for your patience and support as we work together through this transition.

Thank you,

Micah E. Barshay, CTRS, CPRP

Thank you, Santa Bob!

Santa Bob says, nope - not fixing this! So, just for fun we have decided to auction this panel off to the highest bidder. Since children are such a huge part of our fan base, the money will be going to a scholarship to send a child and/or teen ( or more thane one) to a summer camp program through Castleton Recreation Commission (://www.facebook.com/castletonrec), programs are open to residents and non-residents.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO ACQUIRE THIS PANEL - HOT OFF THE SLEIGH - JUST AS IT CAME OFF THE TRACK, for your garage or mancave wall? - drop your bid below or if you prefer, you can private message us if you want it to be a surprise for someone!

Bidding will end Sunday May 31 at midnight and winner will be announced on June 1. Must arrange for pickup, no shipping. Willing to meet up within a reasonable distance.
