Following significant community backlash regarding the 'Resurrection on the Green' concert in June, the Board of Representatives addressed Mill River Park’s noise policies during their July 23 meeting.
Nettie Compton, President/CEO of Mill River Park, acknowledged that the noise levels were excessive and that the community’s frustration was justified. To address these concerns, the park is implementing new oversight measures, including decibel monitoring at both the soundboard and the property lines. A formal noise waiver process will also be established in coordination with the Health Department to ensure better enforcement at future events.
During the discussion, Board members stressed the need for better communication and actionable data so that representatives can effectively respond to the concerns of their constituents. The goal is to ensure that park events do not again disrupt the peace of the surrounding neighborhoods.
