Open Space Committee

Overview

The mission of our committee is to ensure that the town's open spaces, recreation areas, & conservation land can provide sustainable places for our residents to enjoy for now into the future. We do this through working with the Conservation Commission, the Department of Parks & Recreation, as well as with the Selectmen to provide the protection of existing resources and the acquisition of new properties & spaces.

Get Involved

The Committee is all volunteers and we are looking for some more help! It is pretty simple and we are just a group of residents who want to help keep Abington a beautiful place to live with outdoor spaces for everyone to use now and in the future. Apply through the Board and Commission Appointment form.

Project timeline

Partnering with Old Colony Planning Council

Abington is partnering with the Old Colony Planning Council (OCPC) to write our open space plan. It is a lengthy process that requires research updating data and maps, and community engagement. Learn more about the project and view our timeline.
