NATICOOK TOWN BEACH - BOAT STORAGE RACK RENTAL PROGRAM

In response to numerous requests from residents over the years, the Merrimack Parks & Recreation Department is pleased to announce the launch of a new Canoe/Kayak Boat Storage Rental Program at Wasserman Park, beginning in July 2025.


This pilot program will offer Merrimack residents the opportunity to rent seasonal storage space at the park, eliminating the need to transport their boats daily and providing convenient access to the water.


Program Overview:

  • As this is a new initiative, space is limited. To ensure a fair distribution, we will implement a lottery system. Merrimack residents interested in participating may enter the lottery, and nine 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.


  • Because Wasserman Park Beach is restricted to Merrimack residents only, eligibility for the lottery is limited to Merrimack residents. A total of nine (9) storage spaces will be available for the 2025 season.


  • The lottery will be open from June 13 through June 27 at 4:00 pm. Selected participants will be notified on June 27 and will receive an invoice for $75.00 to secure their storage space for the season.


  • Upon payment, each participant will receive a marine sticker (similar to the Transfer Station sticker), which must be affixed to their boat to verify authorized use of the storage rack.


  • Each participant will be assigned one designated storage location, with only one boat permitted per space. Boat owners are responsible for securing their watercraft with their own lock and chain.


  • The 2025 storage season will run through October 13, 2025, at which time all boats must be removed for the winter.


If the pilot program proves successful, then future expansion to other locations in Town could be considered.
