Concord’s City Wide Community Center: What's new is old (And Great)

The new center is open year round and it is home for the department’s numerous youth camps during the summer months. Adults can also use the Center as well through drop-in sports and exercise classes, or by signing up for one of Concord Parks and Rec’s adult programs, which have included foreign languages, art, music, cooking, yoga, fitness, and more. Many of the Center’s amenities are open to residents of the greater Concord area; you do not need to live in Concord to take advantage of its offerings.

Concord: Fall in love with NH’s Foliage Capital

New Hampshire’s foliage season runs roughly from late-September to mid-October, but this varies widely depending on weather, topography and geography. Just before the season begins, a sneak preview of fall can be found as swamp maples surrounding some ponds and lakes may turn a fiery red, and the deciduous trees of northern New Hampshire may have already begun their transformation. Indigenous Peoples' Day Weekend is often the focal point of fall foliage excursions, but the White Mountains can present earlier colors.

It’s hot in Concord, but you don’t need to go far for a swim

Concord is 50 miles away from the ocean, but that doesn’t mean you have to drive all the way to the seacoast for a swim. Around the city, there are ponds and river beaches to enjoy. They’re not staffed, and you need to be aware of the river’s current.

Who runs Concord?

In November of 2016, 5 months after my initial visit to Runner’s Alley, I finished my first half marathon – 13.2 miles of non-stop running. For me, running became the way to clear my mind and relieve stress, running without headphones, trying to stay focused on the road and listening to my body.
