After concerns were expressed about the danger posed by the aging chimney at the Tashmoo Springs Waterworks on 2007, a town committee was formed to explore restoration of the unused, decrepit building. Donations, state and local grants and fundraisers secured the funds needed to rehab the building which is now a functional town owned resource on the waterfront of Lake Tashmoo. It is available for town, non profit and private use with a fee structure set by the Select Board, and managed by the DPW and the Tashmoo Springs Building Management Committee. All funds from rentals are used for upkeep. The main building and the outbuilding in the same style are listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The buildings are set in the Tashmoo Spring Park which includes the sledding hill, amphitheater, and the former Waterworks Office, as well as the Spring Pond itself.

These are images from picnics past.....the image on top is the newest version of this precious gem of a park.
At our town meeting, we were assured that there would not be any restriction or any effect on the public's use of the park.
Since that town meeting, fences have been installed, and proposed changes that limit access, and curtail events.
