Our Natural Heritage

A Manchester Gem.

Spanning 134 acres of rolling hills, tranquil waters, and vibrant woodland, Livingston Park stands as the beating green heart of our community.

134 Acres of Sanctuary

Livingston Park isn’t just a space; it’s a living archive of Manchester’s natural history. Established as a public refuge, it offers a mosaic of ecosystems from the cool shade of hemlock groves to the sun-drenched meadows surrounding Dorrs Pond.

Managed by the Livingston Park Foundation, every acre is tended with a commitment to ecological preservation and community wellness.

Biodiversity

Home to over 40 species of native birds and rare New Hampshire flora.
