Nashua Today:

Environment
The Imagine Nashua plan seeks
to advance the great work the
City is already doing - identifying
and continuing to protect critical
natural areas and preserve and
expand access to open space and
recreation resources, to ensure
healthy, resilient and sustainable
environments for all Nashua
residents.

Since the last Master Plan
initiative, the city has put
noticeable resources into planning
the city’s open space and Nashua
is now home to over 50 public
parks and over 48 miles of trails
in both urban and forested
landscapes. Residents and visitors
can also enjoy 1292 acres of
conservation land. Nashua’s Parks
Department and Conservation
Commission has done an
impressive job establishing,
maintaining and prioritizing the
city’s natural resources.
