Parks and recreation

Veterans Memorial Park could be getting more than just an ice rink in the not-so-distant future, as another company has proposed bringing indoor sports facilities and multipurpose outdoor fields to continue to fill an undeveloped section of the Calverton park.

The beach committee, to be chaired by Councilman Tim Hubbard, will advise officials on beach improvement and solving existing problems, such as parking.

Frustrated by an ongoing lack of funds to develop and improve the town's recreation facilities, the chairman of the Riverhead recreation advisory committee wants to form a non-profit organization to raise money privately.

Riverhead officials are going to issue a request for proposals for the development of an indoor sports and recreation center at the town park in Calverton.
