Abbie Griffin Park

Come and join Merrimack Parks & Recreation and the Merrimack Lions Club after the Strides 2K Walk / 4K Run at Abbie Griffin Park for this year's FREE Movie Night under the stars.

We will be showing the movie "MOANA 2"

In "Moana 2," Moana  receives an unexpected call from her wayfinding ancestors, leading her  on a new voyage to find a legendary island and reunite the people of the  ocean. She  assembles a crew, including familiar faces like Maui, Heihei, and Pua,  along with new characters, and they face dangerous seas and encounter  powerful enemies. The  adventure culminates in a confrontation with a powerful force  threatening the islands, requiring Moana to embrace her role as a  wayfinder and demigoddess.

We are pleased to announce that registration is now open for the Naticook After School Program for the 2025–2026 school year.
