The Open Space and Recreation Plan was prepared as an update of the 2004 Open Space and Recreation Plan (OSRP). It was prepared in recognition of the need for a comprehensive, proactive, and coordinated effort among town government, residents, and business owners to plan for Maynard’s sustainable development. The OSRP also serves as a planning document for the Community Preservation Committee. This Plan was also prepared in order to fulfill necessary eligibility requirements for the reimbursement of land protection costs through state grant programs. The OSRP must serve the interests of Maynard’s residents. To that end, the OSRP has identified and analyzes factors such as the town’s physical and cultural assets, land use, the recent buildout analysis, and socio-economic trends that are relevant to the protection of important resources. It inventories present resources and identifies future conservation and recreation needs. It outlines, in a Five-Year Action Plan, a series of recommendations for safeguarding and expanding these resources.
A 7-year Open Space and Recreation Plan is currently being updated. Please help us by filling out this survey!

The Maynard Sesquicentennial Committee, in partnership with the Maynard Cultural Council are excited to announce the next “Maynard as a Canvas” mural project and are seeking community contributions.
The theme is Maynard: Past, Present and Future.
The Maynard Select Board has approved using a Naylor Court wall in Maynard’s Cultural District for the new mural. This prominent site is a highly visible feature in the ongoing revitalization of this area. For more information on this site and on the mural project itself, please visit this site: https://artist.callforentry.org/festivals_unique_info.php?ID=8809
As we slowly emerge from the limitations placed on public gatherings by the events of the past year, it is projects such as this that will add to the enjoyment of our outdoor spaces here in town. As we celebrate our town’s 150th anniversary, a mural in a downtown public space offers us an opportunity to learn about the town’s past, participate in its present and look forward to our future through the lens of art.
