MAMARONECK, NY (September 24, 2025) — The Town of Mamaroneck will expand access to the recreational fields at Hommocks Middle School for students throughout the entire Winter 2025-2026 season. The decision, approved by the Town Recreation Commission on Wednesday, September 10th, aims to promote recreational opportunities for young residents and was supported by the Town Board as a response to community feedback.
Town Supervisor Jaine Elkind Eney expressed enthusiasm about the initiative, stating, “We are excited to launch this initiative for our students. This is a particularly good time, as we are exploring options for renovating and replacing the fields. We look forward to continuing our partnership with the schools and the community in exploring a long-term solution that serves the best interests of our students and community.”
James Druker, Chairman of the Town Recreation Commission, noted the commission’s careful consideration, saying, “The Recreation Commission took into account the risk that the fields would be harmed by allowing year-round play, but determined that the risk was outweighed by the reality of the shortage of fields in the community combined with the increased demand by the large youth population.”
This latest development follows the decision last spring to open the fields on Wednesdays.
