The Parks, Recreation, and Cemetery Division will begin construction at the Adventure Playground at Sheridan–Emmett Park on Thursday, May 7, 2026, with work continuing throughout the month. Areas of the park will be closed and fenced off during this period; however, traffic impacts are expected to be minimal with limited disruptions.
Construction is anticipated to be completed by June 7, 2026.
We appreciate the community’s patience as we complete these improvements to enhance safety and play opportunities for park users.
The City of Manchester Parks, Recreation & Cemetery Division would like to inform the community that the Sweeney Park Basketball Courts will be closed for a full replacement beginning Monday, March 30, 2026, through Friday, June 26, 2026.
During this period, the courts will be completely inaccessible while contractors remove the existing surface and construct new, upgraded basketball facilities.
Please also be advised that parking on the Walker Street side of Sweeney Park will be limited throughout construction to accommodate equipment and construction vehicles. Visitors should plan accordingly and use alternative parking areas when possible.
We appreciate the community’s patience as we complete this significant investment in Sweeney Park. The improvements will provide a safer, higher-quality playing surface and enhance long-term recreation opportunities for residents.
If you have any questions about the project, please contact the Parks, Recreation & Cemetery Division at (603) 792-5373.
Thank you for your cooperation and support.
