Mill City Park construction to begin soon, New Hampshire
Modified date:
New Hampshire is slated to receive the first whitewater park in the state with the construction of the Mill City Park in Franklin Falls that is expected to begin construction in July of 2021. The first phase of construction will be a timber-frame pavilion, parking lots, and two sets of standing waves in the riverbed. In 2022, construction is scheduled to begin on refurbishment of Trestle Bridge, an old railroad bridge, into a footbridge to connect the Winnipesaukee River Trail to Mill City Park and the downtown area. Eventually, the park will feature sites for camping, climbing walls, trails for walking and bicycling, an amphitheater, and historic features around remnants of three mills that once stood there.
