KNIGHTS POND/WYMAN PARK SURVEY The Selectmen are asking the townspeople to complete a survey in order to help them plan for the future of the Wyman Park area on Knights Pond.  Each summer we have problems with people camping in the area, which is not allowed at this time.  Also, there are no restroom or changing facilities available.  The selectmen are interested in knowing if the townspeople are happy with the way things are now or would like to see changes made.   To complete the survey, click this link, which will take you to the Survey Monkey website.  What's new in Northport?
