10/25/25 Update – The 2025 LGA summer season is at a close. The swim bobbers have been removed and the LGA beach and park dedication signs are in storage for the winter. The American flag has been taken down and is in storage for the winter.
Great news! The DeAngelis family have installed a memorial bench in honor of our long time resident and friend, Dave DeAngelis. Here is a picture of the bench. As Dave always said, “Just sit and relax!”
More great news! The old play structure with the two small slides and some steering wheels has been dismantled and taken to the transfer station. It was in place for over 30 years and in bad need of updating/repair.
We purchased a gently used, LIFETIME swing set from some folks in Bedford, NH on Craigslist. We partially disassembled it and transported it from Bedford to the Dunbarton. There were some areas of rust which we scraped away, used Rustoleum Rust Reformer on the bare spots and then put new rust resistant paint on most of the metal. Next, we power washed the entire set and with the help of some Association members, now have it installed in the park. It looks good as new.
The swing set also came with an added bonus, a see-saw airplane! It has room for six younger children, has a steering wheel that spins the propeller, dials and gauges on the dashboard and a diagram of an airplane explaining what all the parts are on the plane.
The swing set new, including the plane would cost around $4,000. We purchased it for $700 plus the cost of the repairs and paint and some bolts and hardware. The total cost of the project was around $850. Thanks to all who helped on the project. Here are some pictures!
PLEASE – ONLY CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 12 ON THE NEW SWING SET. THANK YOU.
Enjoy the new swing set and plane!
Also, over the weekend we did a long needed clean out of the shed at the park. The following items, and ONLY these items are available for FREE to LGA members.
Help yourself!

History
The LGA was formed on August 14, 1958 for “the provision and care of walks, parks and commons, and to protect and maintain the two beaches and playground and the interests of all of the property owners of the Lake Gorham Association”. We thank the founding members of the LGA for their dedicated work in establishing our organization.
Today we see the fourth and fifth generation of families enjoying our amenities along with the many new families who recently moved into our area.
We also thank the many volunteers who work countless hours maintaining the properties of the LGA. Without their dedication and love of the area, others may never know the area’s true beauty. Our members continue to protect and enjoy Gorham Pond. Please take a few minutes to visit our other pages to become more familiar with our organization.
