Seekonk Meadows Use Policy

Seekonk Meadows is a recovered natural setting that overlies an existing landfill and provides passive recreation opportunities and environmental education. Passive recreational activities are allowed that do not endanger the capped landfill and respect other users. Passive recreational activities include: Walking, running, wildlife observation, photography, and snowshoeing. Gatherings in the Meadows are limited to the amount of available parking spaces and the capacity of the amphitheater. Any private gathering of over 30 persons is required to obtain a permit for use. No gatherings shall restrict other community members from entering the Meadows. No active solicitation is permitted in the Meadows. Any use of, or activities undertaken in, the Meadows is done so at your own risk. Requests for use forms for the amphitheater, private gatherings or other uses will be reviewed at the next meeting of the Seekonk Meadows Committee and then forwarded to the Seekonk Library Board of Trustees for final determination. If overflow parking is anticipated, the undersigned user is responsible for securing and paying for the required police detail.
