Come and join Merrimack Parks & Recreation each month for our new walking program "Footprints & Fresh Air. Each month we will visit one of Merrimack's Town Parks or Conservation Areas for an easy 1 mile walk in the Park; which will be led by Parks & Recreation Committee member Brian Landrigan. All participants will receive a map as well as things to observe during the hike.
The goal of this program is to get people outdoors and walking while enjoying some of Merrimack's finest open space and natural areas.
There is no cost to participate, so sign up for 1 walk or join us for them all. We do ask you to register so we have an idea of how many people are coming and so we can send you a reminder the week with where to meet at each location or notify you if we have to cancel due to inclement weather.
