Recreation Facilities
Stickers are required for parking in the lot from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend.
Residents may get their stickers by mail or in person during select hours*
at the PRD office, 64 Union St.
We need to see the car’s registration slip with a photo ID when you pick up your sticker.
If your car’s registration is not from Peterborough, you need to bring something that proves you reside in Peterborough.
The first vehicle per household receives a free sticker. Each additional sticker for that household is $10/vehicle.
Please bring cash or a check (made out to the Town of Peterborough) with you if you need to purchase additional stickers.
We need the license plate # of each vehicle you are stickering. Each sticker is assigned to a specific vehicle.
Residents may obtain their pond stickers in two ways:
1) By Mail: Mail a self-addressed and stamped envelope along with a copy of your car’s registration to:
Peterborough Recreation Department, 64 Union St, Peterborough, NH 03458.
Please provide a phone number or email, in case we need to reach you with a question.
We can mail a sticker back to you and will shred the copy you sent with your personal information.
2) In Person, at the Peterborough Recreation office- weekdays 8:30am - 4:30pm.
The office is located at 64 Union Street.
You are welcome to come inside the office for stickers any weekday 8:30am - 4:30pm.
Adams Pool is now open (through mid-August).

Marshall-Thomas Recreation Area
When the Marshall-Thomas Recreation Area at Cunningham Pond was donated to the town, the residents voted at Town Meeting to allow access to Peterborough residents and their guests only.* The pond is a "swim at your own risk" facility.
Stickers are required for parking in the lot from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend.
Residents may get their stickers by mail or in person at the PRD office, 64 Union St.
Pets are allowed on the grassy areas or the boat ramp area of the pond. Pets must be on a leash when not swimming and are not allowed on the sandy beach.
Pets must remain under their owners' control.
