  • Open Space & Recreation Plan for the 2020S
    City of Methuen Open Space & Recreation Plan for the 2020s Mayor Neil Perry Spring 2021 An Open Space & Recreation Plan for the 2020s and A New Century for Methuen This Methuen Open Space & Recreation Plan Update process has taken place during the worst pandemic in more than a century. The Covid-19 crisis has upended plans and routines, created stress in daily lives, interrupted school calendars, forced event cancellations, caused prolonged economic disruptions and changed how we interact with each other as a community. Everyone has been affected in some way. One year after the initial lockdowns and closures in mid-March 2020, the pandemic toll in the U.S. surpassed more than 500,000 deaths. In Methuen, as of the beginning of March 2021, 13% of the City’s population were infected, a total of 6,502 cases, and we have mourned the loss of 71 residents. After a year of Zoom meetings, hybrid remote/in-person school schedules, work from home mandates, business restrictions and social distancing, Covid fatigue has long settled in and a yearning for a return to normalcy is universal. Open spaces and walking trails provided some needed relief after the initial Covid wave as Methuenites were encouraged by late Spring 2020 to get outdoors, mask up and stay six feet apart. With the rollout of vaccine distribution at the end of 2020 and early 2021, Methuen looks forward to a safe reopening and once again booking community calendars with sports events, band concerts, recreation activities, parades and celebrations. Later this decade in 2026, Methuen will be marking the 300th anniversary of our founding as a community.
