Recreation Committee

The mission of the Loudon Recreation Committee is to provide affordable opportunities and diverse programming to all members of the Loudon community. 

The Loudon Recreation Committee uses its funding to bring special events to the community of Loudon, as well as, provide equipment and maintenance at the Loudon Recreation Field.  The recreation revolving fund is used to bring diverse programming and this fund is used for all activities that are fee based in order to self-fund new programs. 

The community of Loudon has been very fortunate through the years to have a few dedicated volunteers willing to serve the town and put together projects, classes, and events through the Recreation Committee.  Looking back at 2021,  the committee, proceeding with caution, was able to bring back some pre-covid programs in Loudon.  The Homer F. LaBonte Memorial Tennis Courts at the Loudon Recreation Field hosted “Tennis in the Parks –  A tennis program where kids play while they learn” in May.  The Rec Committee continued the partnership with SWIM NH to provide water safety, offering outdoor and socially distanced swimming lessons on Clough Pond in July and August.   The pickleball courts continue to be well used by the community during the spring, summer and fall seasons.  September brought the return of Yoga and REFIT Revolution exercise classes- many thanks to MVSD for sharing the Loudon Elementary School Cafeteria.  The FIRST outdoor movie night took place in October at the Rec Field Gazebo. In November, Loudon Rec partnered with On The Wing NH to bring a spectacular live Owl show to the community.

The Recreation Committee, with the support of the Selectmen, continues with long-range planning on improving and revitalizing the skate park.  The project began with repairing the drain at the skatepark.  Cameras were also installed for better monitoring and as a deterrent of vandalism.   In November 2020, the Alec J White Memorial mural was installed at the skatepark.   The hope is to add new structures, re-design the flow of the park, and to make it an exciting space for the community. The committee is excited for 2022 and taking the next steps with planning.

The Loudon Recreation Committee continues to focus energies on “a beautification project” / improvements of the Recreation Field in hopes to bring more community members and their families to the field.  In September 2021, New Hampshire Motor Speedway staff members once again performed community service here in Loudon.  Speedway Cares Day has become an annual event. This year, their crew spent a day scraping, painting and restoring the historical fence that surrounds Loudon’s oldest town cemetery.  A combined total of 78 hours were worked to restore and preserve 250+ feet of chestnut fencing.  Many thanks to all and the Recreation Committee looks forward to continuing this annual event with NHMS. 

The Loudon Recreation Committee is always looking for new volunteers and new ideas!  Volunteers from the Loudon community are what make our committee run and we always welcome more help.   Please reach out if there is a program you’d like to see or one you are willing to run.  Watch the Loudon Website or Recreation Facebook page for special events and upcoming activities.
