MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR: JOHN GAWLAK, CPRP
As the summer comes to a close and we look ahead to the fall, our program calendar is full
of program opportunities waiting for you and your family to discover and enjoy!!
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome resident Michael Jagoda as he was appointed
by Mayor William Dickenson Jr. to fill the vacant seat on the Parks & Recreation Commission
left by Rosalind Gallagher. Roz served the Parks & Recreation Commission for over 12 years. We
are grateful for her volunteering efforts, service and value she brought to the commission.
The Recreation Department says goodbye to two long time staff members Jim Sayre Facilities
Coordinator and Joanne Vass both who will move to retirement after many dedicated years
of service. Both will be deeply missed as coworkers and friends. Personally, speaking Joanne’s
presence leading the front office and her service with the general public was consistently
outstanding. I wish them both happy days beyond their days with the Recreation Department.
I would also like to give a warm welcome to Joanne’s replacement resident Shirley Barillaro.
Shirley will assume the role of Senior Clerk at the Recreation Department.
The Recreation Department and Commission have been extremely busy working along side
the Engineering Department Engineers John Thompson and Rob Baltrametis, Department of
Public Works General Foreman Steve Palermo and Kurt Trieber Jr., Risk Manager to bring to the
residents many park projects. I appreciate the genuine collaboration over the last few years.
1. Vets Park Parking Operational and Safety Enhancement Project will commence this
September with a tentative completion in October.
2. The Legacy Gardens at Wallace Park work has begun fencing, benches, irrigation, and brick
walk way complete. The Wallingford Garden Club will be designing and planting the gardens
early September.
3. The Dog Park off of Quinnipiac St has been cleared for the Wallingford Dog Lovers
Association to begin maintaining the site and fundraising is now in full swing to purchase
fencing and other park amenities the group has proposed to include at the site. Public Works
in the coming months will be repaving and striping the parking area.
4. Our building here at 6 Fairfield Blvd. will be receiving in late August all new concrete
sidewalks, curbing and patios. A long awaited repair.
5. We all are working on Westside Eagles Memorial Park Improvements to the baseball/football
field slated to begin September 2015.
6. The Kendrick Park Project including Meghan’s Walk will be finally taking shape this
September after a year of planning with a memorial walk way installation, new basketball
court pad and goals, new playground apparatus for ages 5 and under with fall zone and
border installation protection and pergola.
In addition, Jason Michaels and disc golf gang completed the back nine holes to make a
complete 18 hole course for the FLYING ACE Frisbee disc golf course located at Lufbery Park
off of Cheshire Rd. Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to the South West Conservation
District and Roman Mrozinski for the installation of Kayak/Canoe Ramps at Community Lake
and Fireworks Island. The project was funded by the Greater New Haven Community
Foundation and designed by Mike Rosado USDA, NRCS and constructed by Hazelwood
Excavating.
Finally, I hope your visits to the David Doherty Center have been positive
experiences. Our staff works hard in providing you with quality programming.
Our office is always open for suggestions and ideas.

programs. The need of Olympic
