The City highly encourages residents to drop off their pumpkins and Jack-O’-Lanterns at the compost site. However, small to medium-sized pumpkins will be collected curbside during your regular garbage day the week of November 4. Pumpkins that have started to significantly deteriorate should be placed in a clear plastic bag or box. All pumpkins should be placed beside the garbage can.
Our park consists of 6 drops at roughly 18″ per drop and spans over 800ft. in length, Reconstruction of the river began upstream of Marion Street and extends downstream toward the CN railroad bridge. The Manchester Whitewater Park is open to the public and there is no cost or admission to utilize the park. The primary in-stream users will be whitewater enthusiasts including kayakers, canoeists, rafters, tubers, swimmers and boogie board/surfers.
