Prescott Park is tucked away in Portsmouth, NH, but it is worth the easy, short walk from downtown. In the summer, it has the most beautiful displays of flowers which are all labeled for your learning experience. There are several water fountains surrounded by wonderful blooming annuals, and what can I say about the water views - beautiful. There is... More

Great setting right on the harbor and in downtown Portsmouth. Every week in the summer there is a free play -- get there early to reserve your seat on the lawn. The gardens are gorgeous. Definitely walk through if you are in town. More

For years Prescott Park has been the place to be for a summer evening of fun. They have live performances on a regular basis and you can sit and enjoy whatever is being presented while also having a terrific view of the bay and river. A gem in a small town. More

The folk and rock concert series in the Prescott park each summer is the best value, best talent and best seating you will find in New England. Awesome performances from bluegrass to Cajun, Arlo Guthrie to The Carolina Chocolate Drops. Don't miss it! More

We went to Prescott Park to see the Wizard of Oz last year. This year I think it is Willy Wonka, but don't quote me on that. I recommend on the days there is a play, to get there early as parking is premium. We parked on Pierce Island and walked over with our chairs, coolers and children. We parked... More
