Prescott Park, Public waterfront park in Portsmouth, United States.
Ten acres of landscaped grounds stretch along the Piscataqua River with formal gardens, water fountains, and walking paths throughout the property.
Two sisters, Josie and Mary Prescott, purchased and cleared waterfront properties in the 1930s, transforming an industrial area into a public park.
The park presents outdoor Broadway productions during summer months, offering entertainment for families in an open-air setting near the water.
Visitors can access forty formal garden beds on the South Lawn, featuring seasonal flowers and educational tours led by horticulture specialists.
The gardens serve as a living laboratory where plants are selected and tested for their adaptability to seacoast environmental conditions.
