Your voice is needed to design our parks!

Join the Town of Manchester’s Department of Leisure, Family and Recreation and the American Ramp Company on Tuesday, June 25th at 6:00 PM at Work_Space, 903 Main Street, for a community engagement discussion/workshop to inform the design of the Charter Oak Park West pump track and all-wheel park.

The pump track and all-wheel park are part of the second phase of exciting upgrades and renovations to Charter Oak Park West. The improvements are community-driven and informed by recommendations from the 2021 Town of Manchester Parks and Facilities Master Plan.

In 2017, $2 million worth of improvements were completed, including new playgrounds, basketball and tennis courts, a revamped softball field and more. The next phase of construction will include improvements to modernize the western portion of the park, including the all-wheel park and pump track, turf soccer field, bathrooms, and a new parking area.

The current renovation phases are as follows:

●Phase 1 consists of a new park entrance, parking and turf soccer field. Construction is scheduled to begin on this phase in the summer of 2024.

●Phase 2 consists of the all-wheel park, the pump track and associated landscaping. Construction is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2025.
