A New Playground for Alton at Jones Field: Your Input Matters

Alton, NH – The Friends of Alton, NH Parks and Recreation are proud to announce plans to bring a new, accessible playground to Jones Field. This initiative aims to upgrade the current playground to a modern, inclusive play space that serves the needs of children, families, and the entire community.

Our vision is to create a safe and welcoming area where children of all ages and abilities can play and families can come together. To ensure this project reflects the needs and priorities of Alton residents, we’re asking for your input through a community survey.

Share Your Thoughts
We want to hear from you! Coming in January 2025 we will have a survey asking for your input. The survey is brief but plays a critical role in shaping the future of Jones Field.

Funding the Project
The primary goal is to fund the project with little to no impact on local taxes through private donations, corporate sponsorships, fundraising, and grants. The Friends of Alton, NH Parks and Recreation are committed to a transparent and community-focused fundraising approach.

About Us
The Friends of Alton, NH Parks and Recreation is a volunteer organization dedicated to enhancing recreational opportunities for the Alton community. We are in the process of becoming a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, which will expand our ability to secure funding and make projects like this possible with little to no impact on local taxes. Sitting on the board for our volunteer organization we have Jill Houser, Sarah Goodrum, Carol Diveny, Joanna Fencer, and Kelly Sullivan.
