Comprehensive Master Plan
Open Space and Environment
The Nashua River
Nashua is one of several New
England cities whose history is
linked with its riverfront location.
The Downtown Waterfront
Development Plan aided the City es
in continuing to prioritize the
river and construction for trail
improvements are underway.
There are however opportunities
to expand the pedestrian walkway
upstream along the south side
of the Nashua River to join up
with the existing Mine Falls Park
walkways. There are also many
opportunities along the Merrimack
River Corridor to connect Nashua
to the surrounding region. With
help from regional partners,
Nashua will need to examine
riverine erosion and make sure
the community is safe from
future flooding from increased Nashua River
precipitation and river flow.
“There is a need to link open
Spaces and natural resources
to pedestrian connections
throughout the City.”
