The  Merrimack Parks & Recreation Department is pleased to announce the  return of the Canoe/Kayak Boat Storage Rental Program at Wasserman Park, which began in 2025. 

This program offers Merrimack residents the opportunity to rent seasonal  storage space at Wasserman Park, eliminating the need to transport their  boats daily and providing convenient access to the water.

Program Overview:

• To ensure a fair distribution, we have implemented a lottery system.  Merrimack residents interested in participating may enter the lottery,  and nineteen (19) individuals will be selected at random. If any spaces  remain following the lottery, they will be made available on a first-come, first-served basis.
• Since Wasserman Park Beach is restricted to Merrimack residents only, eligibility for the lottery is limited to Merrimack residents.
• The lottery will be open from April 13th, 2026 through May 11th,  2026 at 4:00 pm. Selected participants will be notified on May 15th,  2026 and will receive an invoice for $100.00 to secure their storage  space for the 2026 season.
