Work progresses on the Penacook Canal Street Riverfront Park. Although the official opening will be this Spring, construction fencing will be removed later this month [December], allowing access to the park and its walkways. Please feel free to visit the park once the barriers are down! Park walkway paving has been completed, along with fencing and railings along the riverfront and laying sod for the grassed areas. There will be some blockades placed requesting foot traffic stay off of the newly planted and seeded areas. “Canoe” style benches are expected to be installed before the winter, as well as construction of the framework for the entrance sign and interpretive signs. Signage is currently in design and expected to be installed in the spring, with other final touches (bus shelter, bike racks).
