Peirce Island is home to one of Portsmouth’s most scenic and enjoyable outdoor recreational areas. The park on Peirce Island covers more than 27 acres, offering local residents and visitors various options for a fun day out. There is a large outdoor swimming pool which dates back to 1937, which is still in use today. There are also a few walking/hiking trails which link 5 waterfront lookout points. If you would like to go boating or fishing you can launch your vessel from the boat ramp. Other fun activities include exploring the tidal pools, bird-watching at the salt marches and just generally enjoying a day by the seaside.
