Neighborhood named after 325-acre park
Mine Falls Park, 30 minutes from Manchester, is next to a 325-acre park of the same name. “Residents say they don’t feel like they’re in a city of 90,000,” says Lauren Byers, the Communication and Recreation Administrator for Nashua Division of Public Works. “The park is like a little gift.” Mine Falls Park is situated along the Nashua River and Nashua Power Canal; the residential zone is concentrated on the east side and includes a mix of older and newer homes, condominiums, and apartment buildings, all surrounded by verdant greenery. Mine Falls Park, with its proximity to the park and adjacent downtown, offers its residents the suburban feel of a residential neighborhood with city amenities. “The best thing about Southern New Hampshire is the proximity to everything,” says Byers. “Everything you need is right there.”
