What’s happening at Tilton Park? At the June 17 Recreation Committee meeting, a major proposal was introduced: a new mountain bike park featuring flow trails, climbing trails, and a pump track. 🧵 #MeetingWatch #SunapeeNH
The proposal by Kearsarge New England aims to use the park as an economic driver for Sunapee Harbor. To address liability, the plan suggests using NEMBO coverage to exempt the town from insurance risks. The committee is currently reviewing the technical maps.
While the project moves forward, community interests aren't fully addressed. A resident raised the need for youth mountain biking camps, but the committee offered no concrete commitment or timeline for such programming. Stay tuned as this develops. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/sunapee/recreation-committee/2026-06-17/
Significant changes are being considered for Tilton Park. During the June 17 Recreation Committee meeting, a formal proposal was presented for a new mountain bike park. The plan includes the installation of 'flow trails,' climbing trails, and a pump track near the parking lot. Proponents suggest the park could serve as an economic driver for Sunapee Harbor. To address potential town liability, the presentation noted that NEMBO would be used for insurance coverage to exempt the town. The committee is currently in the review phase, examining the provided maps and documentation before any formal vote is taken. Additionally, the committee addressed the budget for Veterans Park. Following scrutiny from the Select Board regarding the cost of a large scoreboard, the committee has decided to pivot. Instead of the expensive scoreboard, they are now exploring low-cost, potentially solar-powered or mobile signage options that can be managed in-house. While the meeting was productive, some community needs remain unaddressed. A resident specifically requested the development of mountain biking day camps or overnight camps for children, but the committee did not offer a concrete plan to implement this type of youth programming. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/sunapee/recreation-committee/2026-06-17/ #MeetingWatch #SunapeeNH
