The Wellesley Recreation Department offers programs year round and publishes seasonal brochures for fall, winter, spring/
summer programs. Registration is held four times a year.
All Recreation Department programs are self-supporting. Fees charged for programs cover the cost of materials, pay instructor
salaries and help defray other costs. Non-residents may register for classes and are charged a $10 non-resident fee.
The Wellesley Recreation Commission consists of five elected members, who meet regularly to review policy and procedures.
The Commission welcomes community input.
A Director, Deputy Director, Associate Director, Program Coordinator, two secretaries and custodians staff the Warren
Building, home of the Recreation Department. Program instructors and part time employees are hired on a seasonal basis. We
are always interested in speaking to potential instructors.
All park facilities are maintained by the Park & Tree of the Wellesley Department of Public Works.

Tennis court lights are in operation 7 nights a week from April 26 through October 21st, from 6 - 9 pm. Use of the Hunnewell Tennis courts
anytime after 6 pm, requires the purchase of a seasonal tennis tag. Revenue from tag sales offsets the cost of the lights. Please follow and
abide by the Hunnewell Tennis Court Rules.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Tags are sold at the Recreation Office from Monday - Friday from 8:30 to 4:00 pm. If you are an online user of Wellesley Recreation, tennis
tags may be purchased online. If you purchase tags online, you must pick up your tag(s) at the Recreation Office. You may use a copy of your
online receipt until you have an opportunity to pick up your tags. For online registration, look for Activity #555200
The Town of Wellesley will also be continuing its relationship with PLAYLOCAL, where tennis players will be able to reserve a court during the
daytime for FREE or at night for $5 (residents).The daytime hours at the Hunnewell courts will be available for reservation at no charge. There
is an hourly reservation fee of $5 per/hour during the evening hours for residents at the Hunnewell Courts, which will guarantee your court time.
The reservation is in addition to required town tennis tag that is required for play after 6 pm. The hourly reservation fee for non-residents is $10
per hour. The revenues generated from the reservations will be used to off-set the cost of court lights as well as other operational court costs.
Due to special events or circumstances, the Town of Wellesley reserves the right to postpone activities in or around the Hunnewell Field Com-
plex including the Hunnewell Tennis Courts.
We are currently looking to hire a evening court supervisor. Contact Matt at 781-235-2370

If you have ever played a brass, woodwind, or percussion instrument, there’s a chair, music, a music stand, and a warm welcome
waiting for you in the Wellesley Town Band! Players of all ages (Grade 8 upwards) and musical abilities are welcome, no auditions are

Each year the Band presents its popular Winter Concert in December and a Spring Concert in May. It also performs outdoors for
MassHort’s Gardeners’ Fair at Elm Bank in May, and the Summertime Concert series at Town Hall in June.
Cost is $160 for thirty-one 90-minute rehearsals (Sept. 17 – June 17) and four concert performances

Please Note: Anyone interested in joining the band is encouraged, and welcome, to come along to any rehearsal to try it out.
