Dorrs Pond

Dorrs Pond is an 18-acre pond within Livingston Park, bordered by woods, wetland boardwalks, and an approximately 0.9-mile unpaved walking and running loop.

Use the onsite parking reached from Red Coat Lane off Hooksett Road; the trail circles the pond and connects to the boat-launch and warming-hut area.

The City lists paddling, fishing, and seasonal ice skating, but conditions and safe ice access can change. The park is open sunrise to sunset, while the warming hut has separate seasonal hours. The loop is unpaved and includes elevated wetland boardwalks, so expect a natural surface and check local notices before planning water or winter activities.

Use 156 Hooksett Road, Manchester, NH. The park spans 131 acres, so choose the north Beech Street lot, Hooksett Road tennis-court lot, or a Red Coat Lane lot based on whether you need the playground, pool, fields, trail, or Dorrs Pond.

Official on-site lots are at the north end of Beech Street, beside the tennis courts off Hooksett Road, and at several points reached from Red Coat Lane. Sports, pool demand, and events can make the closest lot busy.

Yes. The City's reservation listing includes restrooms, and staffed seasonal facilities may provide additional access. Availability can depend on pool, field, warming-hut, and event operations, so do not assume every building is open all day.

General park, playground, trail, pond, fields, track, and court access is free. Pool access, reservations, leagues, and organized programs may charge separately.

Accessibility varies by entrance, route, terrain, and destination. Review the exact mapped subsite and its official source before relying on a specific accessible route.
