Prescott Park is a waterfront park donated to the City of |Portsmouth,NH by two sisters, Josie and Sarah Prescott 1940. The sisters used an inheritance to systematically purchase and clear properties along the Piscataqua River. The sisters goal was to create a public waterfront park, free and accessible to all, replacing what had become a run down and seedy industrial area. In 1949 the Prescott sisters’ trust was established.
Since 1974 it has hosted many outdoor plays and musical acts during the summer months. There are also many flower gardens maintained since the mid 1960's.
