PRESCOTT PARK

Prescott Park is located opposite the Strawbery Banke Museum along the Piscataqua River between State and Mechanic streets. There is also a beautiful view of the shipyard. 5 ha of gardens including an admirably flowery part of more than 500 varieties of flowers, where to swim on the edge of the water. In the summer, a great family festival is taking place, which is constantly surprising when we know that this place, before being a park, was Portsmouth's "hot neighbourhood". The sailors came here to spend their balance in bars and brothels.
