The Recreation Commission is comprised of Marshfield residents, seven full members and two alternates, who are appointed by the Marshfield Board of Selectmen. The Commission is a policy and active board responsible to the Town for providing year round high quality indoor and outdoor recreational activities for Town residents. The Commission meets regularly to review policy, programs and procedures. Community attendance and input regarding programs and facilities is welcome!

The Marshfield Recreation Department was established by Town Meeting in 1958 with the purpose of conducting and promoting recreation, play, sport and physical education. The Recreation Department plans, organizes, promotes, and provides worthwhile leisure programs and facilities to serve the physical, emotional, and social needs of the residents of our community, regardless of one’s ability.

Recreation activities are coordinated through our office staff, which is comprised of one full time director and one 18 hour per week administrative clerk. The Recreation Commission is looking for additional volunteers who are interested in promoting the planning of programs for all Marshfield residents: Call us at (781)834-5543 to see how you can help!

All Recreation Department programs are self-supporting. The fees, which are charged for programs cover the cost of operation of the program, such as instructor salaries and materials.
