The Town of Stratford Parks and Recreation meeting held on February 6, 2025, focused on several key topics regarding the future of local recreational facilities. The meeting began with discussions surrounding the El Egraso pool, which has raised concerns among community members due to its limited size and accessibility.
A council member inquired about the potential for a master plan or long-term renovations for the El Egraso pool. They highlighted the pool's effectiveness but noted that its small size restricts parental access, raising safety concerns. The council member emphasized the need for a strategic plan to address these issues.
In response, officials clarified that the El Egraso pool is leased from the state, which retains ownership of the property. They acknowledged the importance of the facility and indicated that discussions regarding its future would involve both the town council and state representatives.
The meeting concluded with a commitment to explore options for enhancing the El Egraso pool and ensuring it meets the community's needs. Further discussions and planning sessions are expected to take place as the town seeks to improve its recreational offerings.
