School Cancellation
Johnson Recreation follows the Lamoille North School District schedule. Because schools will not be meeting in person for the remainder of the school year we will not be hosting any of our planned Spring sports. If you signed up for a sport you will receive a credit back to the card that you used to register. Tumble Time credits will be a portion of the registration fee. This credit may take up to 2 weeks to post.

Public playgrounds in Johnson are Still CLOSED
Town of Johnson has closed all playground equipment until further notice. While the Governor declared that recreation areas can open, our Town & Village officials, Emergency Management Team, and Committees need time to decide how and when that can be done safely. Until then, the play structure and Sk8 Terrain remains off limits.
This includes:
· Old Mill Park (Railroad Street) Playground equipment
· Legion Field (School Street) Community Oven, Bandstand, and playground equipment
· Johnson Elementary School (School Street) All playground equipment and basketball courts
Members of the public may use the open spaces at these parks. They can walk or ride bikes in any open spaces including the bike paths and tracks like the Rail Trail and the bike tracks at the SkatePark.
Lamoille Valley Rail Trail -Status Update
The Lamoille Valley Rail Trail is not closed, however use is being discouraged at this time. The trail is not being maintained at this time.

Johnson Recreation
Johnson Recreation serves to provide a healthy, active environment for the community of Johnson. We run youth teams for district/league sports, intramural and wellness sports and activities, and coordinate and sponsor special events. We’re also committed to providing equipment, land use, and coordination of facility use for recreational events.
Our goal is to continuously provide recreational opportunities for the community. The Recreation Committee meets the first Monday of every month in the Johnson Recreation Storage Facility (unless otherwise noted). Do you have time to help or ideas to share? Come and join us! We’re always looking for new members, volunteers, and community member involvement!
