Hey there, maybe the Town of Meredith would be interested to lease Leavitt Park Beach to SAU-2, the Inter-Lakes School District which serves Meredith, Center Harbor, Sandwich, and Ashland students. Lease it out to SAU-2 for one dollar per year with a 5-year self-renewing lease and after five years for a second five year lease, if both sides are happy to do so at that time.
The school district could use Leavitt Park Beach ......
www.theswimguide.org/beach/7617 ..... to build a seasonal dock, teach swimming, splash n' burn water exercise class, sailing, paddling, beach volleyball, adult swimming, adult water exercise class, bar-b-q's, picnics and sing-a-longs ..... open to Meredith, Center Harbor, Sandwich and Ashland students and residents.
For boats they could accept a couple donated sailboats and a few el cheapo fixer-upper paddle canoes and kayaks including a donated fixer-upper seasonal dock. Older students could volunteer with Leavitt Park maintenance as needed.
Maybe rent the small sailboats and paddle boats out at $20/hour at certain times to residents of the four towns, Meredith, Center Harbor, Sandwich and Ashland.
