A proposal to rename Lambert's Park to include historical references to Dundee Landing and Hooksett Falls sparked lively discussion at the Hooksett Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee meeting on March 21, 2025. The committee is considering adding the names to honor the area's rich history, particularly its significance in the shipping of bricks in the past.

Members debated the merits of the name change, with one participant expressing concern about how to adequately honor the diverse history of the land with just one name. "How do you honor all that with just one name?" they questioned, emphasizing the need for inclusivity in recognizing the area's heritage.

The committee plans to present this proposal to the town council next month, with discussions highlighting the importance of collaboration with the Heritage Commission and the Department of Public Works (DPW) to ensure proper signage and historical context. The Heritage Commission is expected to cover all costs associated with the project, including materials and installation.

While the name of Lambert's Park will remain unchanged, the addition of "at Dundee Landing" or "at Hooksett Falls" aims to enrich the narrative of the park's history. The committee also acknowledged the need to recognize the contributions of Indigenous peoples, with plans for a dedicated plaque to honor their legacy.

As the committee moves forward, the outcome of this proposal could reshape how residents and visitors connect with the historical significance of the area, blending community pride with a deeper understanding of Hooksett's past.
