Littleton Names Allison Lane New Parks and Recreation Director

LITTLETON --

TOWN

The Select Board voted Oct. 19 to appoint Allison Lane as the town's new Parks, Recreation and Community Education Director at Grade 16, Step 8. Lane spent 25 years as recreation director in Northborough and previously worked in Westborough. Addressing the board, Lane said she wants to build out adult recreation offerings in Littleton, citing programs she developed in Northborough that included adult sports along with classes such as stained glass and pottery. "I'm a big component on adult programming," Lane said. "I love getting adults out, whether it's sports, whether it's learning how to do stained glass."

HIGH SCHOOL

Littleton High School's athletics page lists Nov. 30, 2026, the Monday after Thanksgiving, as the official start date for LHS and Littleton Middle School winter sports. No high school games were recorded for this period.

YOUTH LEAGUES

The Shaker Lane School Building Committee confirmed that fields used by Littleton's youth softball and baseball programs will remain untouched until July 1, 2027. Project officials told the committee Oct. 21 that initial enabling work and fencing for the Shaker Lane building project is not scheduled to begin until that date, giving the youth program continued access through next summer. The committee also agreed to provide a written schedule that can be shared publicly with families.
