Located at the edge of the Piscataqua River and across from Strawbery Banke Museum, Prescott Park was donated around the turn of the century to the city of
Portsmouth by two sisters, Josie and Sarah Prescott. The popular waterfront park features extensive flower gardens, including large demonstration beds where many varieties of flowers are shown each summer. Visitors can also see the 1705 Sheafe Warehouse, where John Paul Jones outfitted the Ranger.
