Speaking of great community partnerships…

Bourne Youth Lacrosse and Bourne Rec are teaming up again to bring back the popular Stix Clinic! This spring, 42 kids hit the field, learned new skills, built confidence, and enjoyed the game of lacrosse..all completely free of charge!

We’re excited to keep this great community partnership going and give even more kids the opportunity to pick up a stick and play starting next Friday!

The clinic is FREE to Bourne Residents, but registration is required to participate: https://bournema.myrec.com/info/activities/program_details.aspx?ProgramID=30157

If Pocasset Rec's Baseball Field looks a little different, that’s because it is! The infield has officially been extended by 10 feet, allowing the field to accommodate 50/70 Intermediate play for Bourne Youth Baseball

This improvement started at our annual meeting with Administration, DPW, Rec, and BYB, where the organization identified the need for a field that could better support this level of play. BYB then brought the request before the Bourne Recreation Committee, which voted to support the upgrade.

From there, Bourne Department of Public Works got to work, completing the field improvements last Friday. A big thank you to the DPW crew for their hard work and for helping make this project happen!

We’re proud to work alongside Bourne Youth Baseball and all of our local youth organizations that provide opportunities for Bourne kids to play, learn, grow, and be part of a team.

Great partnerships lead to great improvements for our community and we can’t wait to see this field in action with fall ball!

🛟☀️A HUGE THANK YOU TO OUR AMAZING LIFEGUARDS! ☀️🛟

And just like that, 7 weeks of beach guarding have flown by!
We want to give a BIG shoutout to our incredible lifeguards who made this summer at Monument Beach such a success! From greeting patrons to keeping everyone safe and jumping into action when needed, they truly did it all.

They bandaged fingers, patched up toes, answered questions, kept a watchful eye on the water, and somehow managed to do it all with a smile!

Being a lifeguard is about so much more than watching the water. It’s about responsibility, teamwork, kindness, and being there for our community. Our crew showed all of that and more every single day.

Thank you for your hard work, dedication, and for helping make our beach a safe, welcoming, and FUN place to spend the summer!

Note: Swim lessons will continue at Monument Beach for 1 more week and a lifeguard is assigned to oversee the safety of this program.
