New Canaan parks board approves disc golf meet, Juneteenth event
Parks and Recreation · Meeting of March 11, 2026
New Canaan Parks and Recreation Commission clears disc golf tournament and first Juneteenth festival at Waveny Park. Commissioners voted unanimously to approve the fourth annual "Wave Warmup" disc golf tournament for April 26 and a Juneteenth festival organized by Susan Borst, vice president of Standing Together Against Racism, expected to draw 400 to 500 people to the park's west lawn. The department's director said the real operating budget increase is 2.56 percent, not the 5.16 percent shown in the town's budget book, after $100,000 was moved out of a self-sustaining recreation account.
Officials also floated raising the park pass from $35 to $40, with pickleball courts still stuck in design over stormwater requirements, and said the Waveny House elevator project should finish by the end of April.
