Eagle Scout Project Creates Kiosk at Veteran’s Park Boat Ramp

The Merrimack Parks and Recreation Department would like to congratulate Boy Scout Greg Gilbert, who recently earned his Eagle Scout Award.

Greg’s Eagle Scout Project consisted of the construction of an information kiosk to be located at the boat ramp of Veteran’s Park.  Greg chose to do this project because he saw the need for a kiosk to post important information about the lake and bring awareness to the public concerning the invasive plant species, Milfoil, growing in the lake.  You will find a map of the lake, boating rules and information on milfoil posted in the kiosk.

Through fundraising efforts, which included a spaghetti dinner, Greg was able to raise enough money to build his proposed kiosk.  He oversaw a large group of volunteers that helped build and raise the beautiful kiosk that stands at the entrance of the boat ramp.

We would like to extend our sincerest appreciation and thanks to Greg Gilbert and his volunteers for their excellent workmanship and for choosing the kiosk at Veteran’s Park boat ramp as the recipient of his Eagle Scout Project.

The Merrimack Parks and Recreation Department would like to encourage everyone to enjoy our wonderful parks and all that they have to offer.  You can find directions and information on Merrimack’s recreational areas on the town’s website: www.merrimacknh.gov or by calling us at 882-1046.
