The Goshen Discovery Park project was first conceived of in 2019. The trustees were inspired to create a space for the community to enjoy the outdoors, learn, and explore together. Since then, we have done a lot of work, and as of 2022, the Discovery Park is finally underway!
In collaboration with the Goshen Selectboard, the library trustees have applied for and successfully been awarded a grant from the National Parks Service. This grant is for the amount over 74,000 dollars and we then had to raise matching funds. Your support via volunteerism and/or donations are invaluable to this project! As of April 2024, we have met our fundraising goal!
Below you will find the artist's rendition of our vision of the full park and the tiers of donation for you to consider.

We had a site inspection at the Discovery Park on June 26th, 2024. Our trustees Bonnie and Trisha gave a representative from the NH State Parks a tour of the progress and shared lots of updates, including the recently installed gazebo.
We are making some great progress and want to thank the parks department for all their guidance and encouragement!
The photos below are from our official groundbreaking event on October 25th, 2022.
Stump removal! Taking care of the Discovery Park can be hard work. We are so lucky to have trustees that spend time and energy making the park the best it can be. Thank you Bonnie and Trish!
