Kearsarge Community Common

planned

Kearsarge Community Common (KCC) is a proposed outdoor destination and living classroom focused on sustainability, public gatherings, and hands-on learning. The project aims to create New Hampshire's first fully ADA-accessible public beach and dock while preserving much of the property as protected open space. The proposal centers on 46 acres of the 244-acre former Camp Wabasso property, with a main common area on Blaisdell Lake and Billings Pond in Sutton. The plan includes multi-generational gathering spaces, a community building with potential daycare uses, and a pavilion for public programming and outdoor learning. The project emphasizes environmental conservation, community collaboration, and long-term stewardship, with anticipated permitting to begin in 2026.
