Overview The Town of Ashland currently provides free public Wi-Fi in Downtown Ashland along England Street, from the Ashland Police Department to Town Hall. As part of a review of this service, we want to better understand whether local businesses and their customers are aware of the Wi-Fi, how it is being used, and whether it provides enough value to continue maintaining or improving it. If you own, manage, or work at a Downtown Ashland business or have connected to the wi-fi while visiting downtown, please share your feedback by September 24, 2026. The survey should take only a few minutes to complete. Your input will help the Town evaluate the usefulness of the service and inform future decisions about Downtown Wi-Fi.

The Town of Ashland is revitalizing South Taylor Street Park to create a more accessible, active, and inclusive community space. Guided by the 2024 concept plan developed with the Timmons Group, the redesigned park will feature a new basketball/futsal court, expanded walking loops, interactive play areas, and improved landscaping. Key amenities include a new parking area, inclusive play equipment, a state-of-the-art high school sized basketball and futsal court, and an ADA accessible walking loop. The playground, installed in 2022, and picnic shelter will remain.   Construction is being completed by Talley & Armstrong, with work expected to be finished by winter 2026. Once complete, the updated park will offer a vibrant mix of recreation, play, and gathering opportunities for residents of all ages. Currently, the park is open, but visitors are asked not to enter the fenced in areas.
