About This Access Site
**Location & Access:** Greeley Park offers a fully accessible boat ramp on the west side of the Merrimack River in Nashua, located off Hills Ferry Road. The facility includes 24 dedicated parking spaces and is designed with one-way circulation to accommodate vehicles with trailers, making it convenient for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats.

**Facilities & Amenities:** This is the only public boat ramp on the west side of the Merrimack between the Massachusetts border and the first rapids north of Nashua. Beyond water access, Greeley Park provides a range of recreational facilities including hiking trails, picnic areas, ball fields, tennis courts, and horseshoe pits. The park hosts seasonal activities like plays, movies, and music festivals at the bandstand during spring and summer months.
