Manchester State Park

About Manchester State Park

Manchester State Park is a park in the city of Manchester, New Hampshire, USA, located on the eastern side of the Manchester River, south of New York City. The park is covered with firs and maples and is about 5 miles (8 km) from Manchester city centre.

Seaside views of Seattle's Bainbridge Island are bounded to the east and west by the Atlantic Ocean, Hudson River and New York River.

The park is open all year round - for tent and day - and also has a campsite, picnic area and picnic areas for camping, picnicking, hiking and fishing. The lodge is located on the north side of the park, next to the parking lot and at the entrance to Bainbridge Island State Park, north of Seattle, Washington, USA.

The park is named after the nearby small town of Manchester and the city of Bainbridge Island in Washington. Originally called Brooklyn, it was renamed Manchester in 1884, as it was expected that Manchester Washington would become an active seaport comparable to Manchester, England.

The park itself was built at the turn of the century to protect Bremerton and still houses a former torpedo depot from 1901. The property was converted into a fire-fighting station during the Second World War and later became barracks for officers "clubs, barracks and a ballroom. Today it is used day and night as a picnic area, as well as an open space for picnics and other activities.

A gun battery from the park's early days is also still there, and all three buildings are on the National Monument Register. The mining wing was originally used as an office building for the US Army Corps of Engineers and the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (WSNR).

The park has a landfill at the entrance, and the maximum length of the site is 60 feet, possibly due to limited availability. The park also has two other landfills, one on the east side of the city and one on the west side, near the park entrance.
