Prescott Park

Prescott Park is a ten-plus acre waterfront park in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, United States. The land was donated to the city of Portsmouth by two sisters, Josie and Sarah Prescott in 1940. The sisters had used an inheritance to systematically purchase and clear properties along the Piscataqua River. The sisters' goal was to create a public waterfront park, free and accessible to all, replacing what had become a run-down and seedy industrial area. In 1949 the Prescott sisters' trust was established with $500,000.Since 1974 it has hosted many outdoor plays and musical acts during the summer months. There are also many flower gardens maintained since the mid-1960s.The park is directly across Marcy Street from the Strawbery Banke Museum.The Players' Ring Theater is located in the park.External links Prescott Park official website Prescott Park Arts Festival
