Leicester and beyond- it was a pleasure having you enjoy the park the last few weekends!

We have had some wonderful conversations, questions asked, offers to help, lots of laughs, photos taken, delicious food, fun activities and amazing energy at the park!

For now, a 💚HUGE THANK YOU 💚to everyone who has taken time to make this happen. More to come on this once we recover!

Over the next few days/weeks, we will share pictures, information, improvement plans and how you can continue to be a part of the improvements. There's still so much to be done.

**✨We have already started to frame out a non profit FRIENDS OF BURNCOAT PARK group!!✨**

Thank you to the Beautify Leicester Parks group for adding flowers to Burncoat Park!

It has made such a great addition to the park and we are so grateful for the care they have taken to make it happen. Thank you to them and the businesses who supported barrels at the park!

Please continue to support this mighty group.

Volunteers are some of Leicester's greatest assets, and Beautify Leicester Parks is showing how much it cares for our community.

Many have asked how and when we know the Summer Kickoff has been a success. How do you measure that?

Here are some ways to know we are creating a green space that Leicester can be proud of and stand behind once more:

•Connecting with the community - lots of CONVERSATIONS are happening around how to use the park and ways our community can use the space respectfully and for the benefit of our residents:

🌱 How can we connect the Leicester Public Schools, clubs and educational opportunities to the park?
🌱How can more local scout groups utilize the park and also give back to the park over the course of the year and for generations to come?
🌱How can residents enjoy the park and help keep it from getting mismanaged again?
🌱 How can we accept fundraising money or donations to help with maintenance or improvements?

These CONVERSATIONS are happening. If you would like to be a part of the ACTION, please follow and message our page (which has grown by almost 100 follows this past month and we are close to 500 followers!) or send an email to [email protected]

We appreciate all of the communication, conversations, photos, interest and ways that we can bring the park back to life while also appreciating the open space, trails, beach front and wildlife.

June 6, 2026!

It was a warm day with scouts & scout leaders, parks and rec, residents, selectboard members, volunteers, kids, historian and geocachers.

Two girls caught fish for the first time today at the beachfront! 🎣 🐟 A variety of fish were caught!

Historian Joe Lennerton shared some wonderful stories, pictures and information with visitors.

Kids enjoyed Imagination Blocks and free books with Miss Kae!

The geocaches were a hit, with scouts helping teach how to use a gps and find them. This is an ongoing activity for anyone wanting to find them with the geocaching app.

Disc golf, Gaga ball and archery were warm in the sun today! The field provided lots of space for scouts to share some great activities anyone can try out. Bring your friends down for a friendly game next week while they are here for the Summer Kick Off @ Burncoat Park!

Thank you to Justin Murray Photography for capturing some moments from today!
