Parks and Rec needs a face lift! Are you able to spare a few hours and help make the Parks and Rec area look better? We need to paint the sheds and garage, we need to fix up the ice rink walls, maybe some raking? Whatever you think you can do to help us look better, email barnsteadparks@gmail.com to let us know that you will be there to help us along.

The Spring Roadside Cleanup was a huge success on May 2nd! Barnstead even had people from out of town come to help clean our roads thanks to Sam McKeen and the folks at his church, Center Barnstead Christian Church. There were many tires collected along with enough wine bottles for a crafters dream! 

Thanks to everyone who helped make Barnstead beautiful once again!

Parks and Rec would like to offer a fun game of street ball, 3v3. You will need a team of 4(one sub) and for $10 you can play and have fun with us and your friends! We will play to 21 points or the 15 minute running time ticks down. Want a themed team, sure! Want a coed team, sure! We will arrange teams once we know who has signed up, and try to even it all out! Remember, this is for fun!
