Groundbreaking Held for Dog Park at Wasserman Park

MERRIMACK, NH — After a decade of planning, the Dog Park at Wasserman Park is now in its construction phase and is expected to open in mid- to late-November. Once construction is complete, the Dog Park at Wasserman Park will be open and free to use for both residents and non-residents, according to a press statement.

The park is located next to the Wasserman Park Visitor’s Parking Lot at 116 Naticook Road.

On Oct. 10, 2016, members of the Dog Park and Parks & Recreation Committees held an informal ground breaking ceremony prior to the start of construction by CSSI Construction of Bedford. The lucky dogs and their owners all had a great time exploring the future dog park’s grounds and is looking forward to the completion of a monumental amenity in our community.

The committees would like to thank the Merrimack community for their votes during the PetSafe Contest, winning the dog park a $25,000 grant as well as community sponsors, businesses and families, for financially supporting this initial phase.

If you have any questions, please contact the Parks and Recreation Department at 603-882-1046 or visit the Dog Park at Wasserman Park website at merrimackdogpark.com. Park rules, hours and contact information will soon be available by visiting the Merrimack Parks and Recreation Department website at merrimackparksandrec.org and on Facebook at facebook.com/MerrimackParksandRecreation.
