The Recreation Department strives to offer a variety of programs throughout the year. These programs are intended to reflect the interests of and to foster a sense of community among Bedford residents.

Programs are self-supporting and costs are kept to a minimum thanks to the volunteer effort of many dedicated residents. The administration of the Department is supported by funds appropriated at the annual Town Meeting.
Department guidelines and policies are established by a five member Commission that is appointed by the Board of Selectmen. The Commission meets once per month at the Town Hall. Meeting notices are posted with the Town Clerk. Meetings are open to the general public
