Top Goal:
Parks and Natural
Areas
Recognize parks and natural
areas as vital elements of
Nashua’s green network:
Enhance access to and better
connect Nashua’s existing
open space network for
citizens of all ages, abilities,
and incomes.
Action: Improve public
access to open space,
natural resources, and
recreational areas
equitably across the City
Recommendation 1
Timeframe: Mid-term
Seek out public, private
partnerships to allocate funding
to protect public access to the
Pennichuck Brook corridor,
including Pennichuck Pond. The
area is currently unprotected
except as a secondary source of
water for treatment and at risk of
development.
Recommendation 2
Timeframe: Mid-term
Expand planning for Salmon
Brook Corridor by increasing
public access, extending existing
conservation land protection, and
providing a pedestrian trail.
Recommendation 3
Timeframe: Mid-term
Review park and natural area
inventory to determine how
accessible park and natural areas
are for all residents. Seek funding
and build neighborhood parks
in areas of the City that are park
deficient.
