The City of Northampton's Recreation Department runs the programs and classes at the various City sites. The Department of Public Works (DPW) is in charge of all maintenance of the facilites through the Parks and Cemetery Division of the DPW. Although the Recreation Department and the DPW Parks & Cemetery Division are two entirely separate departments, they work together to provide quality parks and recreation facilities for all to enjoy.

There are links in the left column to some of the City operated facilities, as well as State and private parks in the City.

Using Fields

Field usage for non-school events is coordinated through the Recreation Department.

Any organized play must be reserved through the Recreation office, and the corresponding field usage fees paid.

If you have any questions or would like to request field usage, please call the Rec. Dept. at 587-1040 or email recreation@northamptonma.gov
Everyone's cooperation helps to ensure our City facilities are in the best shape possible, and all use is coordinated to avoid conflicts.

Notes:
Parcel C, Maines Field, and the Smith Vocational High fields are for games only. No practices are allowed, except for school sponsored teams.
