The Commission's response? They dismissed the concern, stating the sledding hill is not a 'conservation issue' and falls under planning or recreation. While technically accurate regarding their jurisdiction, it leaves community recreational land use questions unanswered.

The project is currently in a holding pattern. The Commission is demanding a redesigned irrigation plan to protect the 100-foot buffer and better mitigation for invasive species before proceeding. #Sudbury https://meetingwatch.org/ma/sudbury/conservation-commission/2026-03-23/

Longer-form draft.
At the March 23 Sudbury Conservation Commission meeting, the tension between environmental regulation and community recreation was on full display during discussions regarding the Feeley Fields Phase 2 Improvements Project. Residents Gail and Tim Walsh spoke up to express concern about the potential loss of the community sledding hill as the softball fields at 200 Raymond Road undergo reconstruction. However, the Commission dismissed these concerns, stating that the preservation of the sledding slope is a planning or recreation issue rather than a conservation matter. While the Commission is focused on its specific regulatory mandate, the dismissal leaves residents wondering how community recreational assets are being protected during these larger infrastructure changes. In terms of environmental oversight, the Commission is exercising caution. They have directed the project team to redesign the irrigation plan to ensure all sprinkler heads are located outside the 100-foot buffer zone and have expressed concerns regarding invasive plant management in the area. The hearing for the Feeley Fields project has been continued to a date yet to be determined. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/sudbury/conservation-commission/2026-03-23/ #MeetingWatch #SudburyMA
