Town’s Statement Regarding Indictment of Former Director of Parks & Recreation


From the Town of Medfield –

Statement Regarding Indictment of Former Director of Parks & Recreation
Today (Oct. 5), the Massachusetts Office of the Attorney General announced the indictment of
former Director of Medfield Parks & Recreation, Kevin Ryder.
In August of 2022, the Town discovered that Mr. Ryder was engaged in the active concealment of
cash flow from the Hinkley Swim Pond. Mr. Ryder misled Town officials, turning over only a
portion of the cash collected.
Immediately upon learning of Mr. Ryder’s suspected financial misconduct, the Town referred the
matter to the Attorney General’s Office. The Town promptly undertook a series of steps to tighten
its security for all cash handling and continues to strengthen its financial protocols.
The Town takes these charges very seriously and assures the public that we are committed to
providing the quality and level of service with an integrity of operations that the residents of
Medfield deserve.
