Fate of the Rolling Wood 'playground' parcel
Summary
A vacant lot reserved as a 'playground' on the 1948 Rolling Wood map — never formally dedicated as parkland — is being sold by the homeowners association for a single-family home. Neighbors are split: some want the green space and trail connection preserved, while the majority of the association voted to sell, citing dumping and maintenance burdens. The applicant has promised a recorded footpath easement linking the neighborhood to Davis Street and the West Hills trails.

Impact analysis
Proceeds of the park sale will be distributed to Rolling Wood homeowners current on dues; no cost to town taxpayers.
The buyer gets a buildable lot, most Rolling Wood homeowners get sale proceeds, and pedestrians keep a footpath connection to Davis Street and West Hills.
Residents who value the open space — including neighbors outside Rolling Wood — lose permanent access to the green parcel.
