Stroll through Livingston Park

You can drive your Manchester car rental to any of the parks in the city - they're all free to the public, but Livingston Park is one of the area's most renowned. Located off Daniel Webster Highway, the park is home to an array of amenities that offer a little something for everyone. You can join in on a game of baseball on the diamond, go for a run on the track and kick the ball around on the soccer field. If you bring the kids along, let them burn off some energy on the two playgrounds. There's also a walking trail that will take you around tranquil Dorr's Pond - it allows for fishing in the summer and ice skating in the winter.

Visit the Scouting Museum

Park your Manchester car rental for free at the Scouting Museum, then head inside to explore the wide array of Boy Scouts galleries. This institution was established in 1969 by the Boy Scouts of America's Daniel Webster Council. It houses a massive collection of memorabilia, artifacts and documents detailing the history of the youth organization's troops in New Hampshire, the New England region and all over the United States.
