Storrs Pond Recreation Area
Storrs Pond Recreation Area, located minutes from downtown Hanover, is the premier outdoor destination for the entire community to enjoy. Since 1935, families have been enjoying its beautiful surroundings while embracing all the area has to offer. Come spend the day with us and enjoy a swim in our heated pool, take a refreshing dip in the pond, or cool off in our fun and exciting splash pad. Sleep under the stars at one of our 12 tent sites or 17 RV sites or plan an event at one of our four Pavilions. Hike our challenging trails, explore the area, try out disc golf, play tennis or simply relax. You will be sure to create wonderful memories at Storrs Pond.

Campion Rink
Campion Rink serves the community as home to the Hanover Hockey Association, Skating Club at Dartmouth (SCAD), the Tuck School, Hanover and Lebanon High Schools, as well as 18 other organizations. Built in 1988 with contributions from Upper Valley residents and businesses, Campion Rink has seen many upgrades as it continues to be the flagship skating rink for everyone to enjoy.
Help Us Renew Campion!
Owned and operated by the Hanover Improvement Society, Campion Rink has provided the Upper Valley with more than three decades of winter fun and memories… helping make the Upper Valley a great place to live, work, and play. Our beloved rink has provided countless children, teens, and adults the opportunity to play a variety of ice sports in a setting where the values of teamwork, discipline, and respect are lived every day.
Phase 2 of the renovation project is underway — but we still need your support to meet our budget! Please consider a gift to the Renew Campion Campaign to build a new under-ice refrigeration system, a more stable and sustainable concrete slab, improved spectator areas, and new dasher boards and glass. These improvements will help us lengthen the season and prepare for the future!
