The Ellington Parks and Recreation Commission and recreation staff continue to make a concentrated effort to provide a cross section of quality programming on a year-round basis. An earnest effort has been made to create and offer programs, both on a passive and non-passive basis, for all age groups within the community. Additional special events and “creative” programming continue to be of interest to the residents of the community, providing department staff with the opportunity to plan and implement family oriented activities too. The department is staffed by two full-time recreation professionals, one of which also serves as the director of waterfront. Part time positions (generated by revenue) include athletic officials, special skills instructors, lifeguards, day camp counselors, and program supervisors. The Ellington Recreation Department could not function without our many volunteers, we are honored to work with over 350 community volunteers on an annual basis.
