Town of Conway, NH Whitaker Woods, Meeting House and Recreation Fields

Town of Conway recreation programs shall have priority use of the fields, woods, and park areas at the Whitaker Home Site. All other uses shall be subject to availability and scheduling by the Recreation Department. The fields and park areas may be used by the public and by community organizations for athletic events and activities. Such use shall require a memorandum of agreement for the use of Town parks or a special events permit, as appropriate. Special events such as concerts, fairs, and expositions shall not be permitted.

The Whitaker Meeting House was constructed to serve as a community facility to be used for Town-sponsored recreational programs. It was specifically designed to be a warming hut for winter activities and as an office for the Town Recreation Department.

The building shall be used for winter recreational activities such as cross-country skiing, hiking, and snowshoeing. The Town of Conway intends to provide a winter recreation program. Some activities within the program, such as cross-country skiing, will be conducted by the Town in cooperation with the Mount Washington Valley Ski Touring Association, the School District, the Eastern Slope Ski Club or other organizations.

During the remainder of the year, the building shall be used for Department activities and as an administrative office by Town staff. It will provide bathroom and support services during Town-sponsored events and programs.

Due to budgetary considerations, the building will not be available for general community use for such functions as meetings or special events sponsored by private for-profit or nonprofit groups. Specifically, the rest rooms will not be available for use by the general public.

Smoking is prohibited within the Meeting House and all exterior areas of the property.
