Middleborough Park Commission approves prior minutes and discusses park improvements. The four-member board, including Chairman Garrett Perry, Vice Chairman Dawn Savery, Commissioner Judy Bigelow-Costa, and Commissioner Gregory Thomas, voted 3-0-1 to approve November minutes; Commissioner Bill Ferdinand was absent.

The commission also faces challenges booking Fourth of July 2026 fireworks due to limited certified pyrotechnicians and heightened demand for the nation's 250th birthday.
