Sklar Waterfront Park is along the banks of the Merrimack River. The park was donated by the Sklar family in 2018 and offers a variety of recreational activities for visitors. The park features a walking trail, a fishing pier, a picnic area, and a landing area for remote-controlled planes. The park also hosts educational events and nature walks to showcase the diverse wildlife and plants that inhabit the floodplain forest. 

The Merrimack River is a 117-mile-long river in the northeastern United States. It rises at the confluence of the Pemigewasset and Winnipesaukee rivers in Franklin, New Hampshire, flows southward into Massachusetts, and then flows northeast until it empties into the Atlantic Ocean at Newburyport. From the point where the Merrimack turns northeast in Lowell, Massachusetts onward, the Massachusetts–New Hampshire border is roughly calculated as the line three miles north of the river.
