This park located between the Souhegan River and the US
Post Office is about one and one-half acres in size. Emerson Park is
lit at night and has easy handicapped access. It contains park
benches, a stone wall, a permanent sandbox for children, and an old
millstone as a "table", a gift form the late Theodore Langdell.

The undeveloped land was given to the town at the
1947 Town Meeting by Charles S. Emerson as a gift from his
brother, the late Harry Emerson. In 1969, with a $1,000 gift
from the children of the late Charles Emerson, creation of the
park began. |
The Sounds of the
Souhegan summer concert series is held here, weather permitting.
