WHAT IS FRIENDS OF TOPSFIELD RECREATION? Friends of Topsfield Recreation, formerly The Topsfield Playground Committee, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, run by volunteers. Established in 2008, Friends of Topsfield Rec has facilitated hundreds of volunteers, local contractors, and businesses to spearhead, fund, and/or support several projects that promote accessible and engaging outdoor play. Thanks to the community for your generous support, we have raised over $400,000 over the years to fund projects all across Topsfield. Additionally, each year we grant hundreds of dollars worth of new playground toys for both schools, and we have supported the town with large playground maintenance and repairs when necessary. We continue to seek opportunities for playground improvements, accessibility improvements, and new recreational initiatives for families. We will continue to advocate for proactive playground maintenance planning in as we continue to work supporting the town. Your donation ensures that our children continue to have top-notch outdoor play opportunities at school.
