The Parks & Recreation Department logo was first introduced to Merrimack in 2014 and since that time, our Department has grown more than 10x in size compared to back then. With more than 300 programs and special events offered each year for all ages; we feel that our logo is no longer representative of all of the things that Parks & Recreation is involved with in the Town of Merrimack.
This is where you come in. We are looking for your help in designing the new Parks & Recreation Department logo which will be visible on our website, social media pages, documents, apparel, banners and other related offerings.
