Wasserman Park
Fenced dog area inside a Merrimack rec complex with hiking and a beach
About this park
A town-run park in Merrimack with a fenced double-sided dog area set inside a larger recreation complex (residents-only beach, hiking trails, playground, pickleball). The dog park is clean and quiet enough that visitors often have it to themselves outside of peak hours, with a friendly regular crowd most days. Recent reviews flag at least one serious dog-on-dog incident, so size up the small-dog side carefully before going in.

Before you go
The beach is restricted to Merrimack residents, but the dog park, trails, and playground are open to anyone. Off-peak visits often mean having the place to yourself, which is fine for fetch but less ideal for socialization.
