Mount Hope Park

In January 2015, ALT and the Town of Portsmouth partnered to purchase a unique waterfront property for the development of Mount Hope Park. Under the arrangement, the Town of Portsmouth holds ownership and ALT holds the conservation easement, which permanently protects the property as open space and park land. The parcel is located at the intersection of Bayview Avenue and Bristol Ferry Road, and juts out into Mount Hope Bay with scenic views of the bridge and surrounding water.
