Village Parks — Effective April 3^rd, 2020, The Village of Manchester has made the decision to close access to our parks pavilions and play structures until further notice. Also, at this time we will not be accepting parks reservation applications. We are hopeful that these measures will help to reduce spreading the virus by removing some of the temptation to gather.
