Our committee has been laying groundwork for a project that we believe will have a longlasting impact on our community.

We plan to include a capital project request for consideration on the warrant for the Annual Town Meeting in May to fund construction of a 30' x 50' pavilion at the park.

Since its inception in 2018, the Yanner Park Committee has been steadily working to make the 275-acre town-owned park a destination for residents and visitors alike. These projects have included installing a driveway and parking area, repairs to the stone sign, construction of the split-rail fence along Town Hill Road, tree and flower plantings, debris disposal, and installation of an informational kiosk and picnic tables.

We've also created a 2.5-mile trail system from Town Hill Road to Hammertown Road that links with the BNRC trails at the Clam River Reserve.

If you haven't had a chance to visit the park, spring is a great time to come by.

We want to build on these successes by constructing a pavilion that will provide a gathering space for larger community events (think pig roast, summer concert, town-wide easter egg hunt, and more) and also a place for individual/family use to get out of the elements, have a picnic, or host your kid's birthday party.

To make this vision come to fruition, we need your support and a favorable vote at the Annual Town Meeting in May.

Have questions about the project? The Yanner Park Committee will be holding a public information session to answer questions on Friday, May 2, at 6:30 p.m. at Old Town Hall. There will be cookies.
