This park, located in Berlin, N.H., holds what was once the highest ski jump in North America which was named after Greenland explorer Fridjof Nansen. The ski jump was built in 1936 and was the site of Olympic trials four times. The remains of the ski jump, which is actually in Milan, are still in this wayside and can be seen in this YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeCifrsS6Jo)
