The F.B. Argue Recreation Area
will be closing for the season on August 27, 2011. There will
be a cook out and outdoor movie on that day. The movie is
Gnomeo and Julliet. Hot dogs, hamburgers, and chips will be
available for free. Donations of a non perishable food
item for the food pantry will be accepted. There will be
cotton candy and pop corn available during the movie. You
are asked to bring your own drink or buy what is left from
the concession stand. Swimming will be available from 12- 6
on that day, with the cookout starting around 5:00.
Swimming lessons for the summer were a great success with 80
children taking part. Mike Adams and Minni Plante did the
instructing. If you did not participate in swimming lessons
this summer, please consider it for next summer. We ran
three 2 week sessions with the middle session being held in
the evening.
Attendance has been on the
decline for what ever reason. If you have suggestions for
additional activities for next summer, please contact the
Town of Pittsfield Recreation Committee.
Plans are in the works for a rededication of the area at the
beginning of next summer for the 50th anniversary.
Life Guards this summer were Mike Adams, Rebekah Adams, and
Maxwell Tuttle. Gate Keepers were Sarah Adams, Jenna Ward,
and Cassidy Kearns. They all did a great job and contributed
to a successful season. We would like to thank all our
patrons, Kydstop, Epsom Better Buddies, and the Highway
Department for their continued support. Hopefully this fall
we will get the necessary dredging done so that we can use
the diving board again next summer.
Seasonal Hours: The area is open from
12:00 to 5:00 on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and
Saturday. It is open from
12:00
to 7:00

refurbished snack bar/bathroom building. The pool is

The park was donated to
the town by the Pittsfield Rotary in 1961 in memory of
Dr. Forest B. Argue, MD. This pond was previously known
as Clarks Pond being used as a mill pond. The pond was
dredged, a new dam built, fencing erected about the
perimeter of the pond area and a new bath house was
