The 32 best parks and gardens in Bangor

Great place to walk with lots of intertwining trails. We were surprised at the number of uprooted trees there.

Beautiful woods, got to see two owls at dusk!

Great, quiet, not sketchy, trail for me to walk my dog on

Easy hike that takes under 20 minutes to complete. Good walk for kids and dogs.

This use to be my favorite path to walk on w my kids but today there was a tent out there that ppl was definitely staying in which made me feel very unfortunate. Very disappointed. Mom of five and they look forward to our walks here guess it's time to find a new family safe path.

Love walking the trails, its a great place to take a short walk in the middle of the city. Lots of chipmunks 🐿

A decent forest with solid walking paths and a few places to sit and relax. A good chance to see of hear some wildlife.

Lovely trails right in town. Easy parking. Didn't see if there was a bathroom. Places to picnic. I reccomend!

Not sure when things changed but the fountain and park looked like it hasn’t been maintained for a little while. It also seemed super small. Wasn’t really worth stopping at in my opinion. Picture shows what we saw in September 2025

Fountain is seasonally operated, they turn it off in October and back on in the Spring. There is an artificial stream with waterfall, a nice fountain, some benches, some big old trees, a couple of short walking trails including one loop up a hill, and a small grassy field for frisbee or whatever. Nice place to go for a quiet walk, please keep your dog on a leash and clean up after it 🐕‍🦺💩🪏🚮😎👍. The river is just across the street, but you can't actually see it from the park. Plenty of free parking on site.

Great place to visit on a hot day. If you are looking for a scenic picnic area, or just out for a small hike, this beautiful park has a working fountain that will cool you off on even the hottest of days, once the wind hits the cool water and you are sprinkled with that refreshing feeling of cool water on a hot day. Bring your friends, bring your dogs, bring your partners and yourself and set off on a tiny hike up to the top of there waterfall area, where all of the water has conjugated. Then enjoy a sit down near the fountain and enjoy the weather and maybe a bit of a picnic.

Wonderful place to stretch our legs and enjoy the peaceful cascade.

Nice walk, steep at times, the waterfall was not working at the time but the park is beautiful.

It was very quiet when I visited it here which meant it was very peaceful and relaxing. The whole place was well maintained and totally free of rubbish. The fountain wasn't on but there was still plenty to see and appreciate.

I always saw some people walking on a path near a bog beside the interstate, but I never knew where it originated until now. I am so glad I found it. This area not only has a walking/jogging trail, but there are bike trails, a dog park, a kids park, as well as a basketball court, and plenty of parking space. While most of the trails/paths are maintained well, the outer areas could use improvements, especially with the downed trees and slippery muddy areas.

Lovely woods, but trails are not well marked so it'shard to tell where you're going. There's a trail around a pond, a babbling brook, and a mix of forest and fields. Several mountain biking trails.

Great walking/bike trail system that’s good for dogs and kids. Had a fun time here

Neat place to walk bike and let the dog run around

Great place to walk, bring your dogs. Dog pens for meeting with other dogs. There are also trails to walk.

Beautiful place for a walk!!! Some part of the trails are harder then others. Beautiful any part of the day!!

A nice place for a walk. This is a nice place to walk a bit without going to far or for too long. The trails are kept in good condition and the woods and swamp area are very pretty. The place is dog friendly and have three dog play areas next to the parking lot. The problem with the trails is the the homeless uae it as a sleeping area and leave a lot of waste in places. I have not biked the bike trails yet.

Love it here. Lots of trails for hiking, walking, and mountain biking. One of my homes away from home!

Quiet walking/hiking/biking trails, rough in spots but not too hard.

Nice place to go if you are in the area or looking for another place to walk, jog, or bike. Could use a public restroom of some sort (even if pay to use), and marker on the trails could be more noticeable. Plus, I don't care to see gas line notices on the trail. Further, during hunting season, make sure you wear orange.

Came here to ride my bike. Trails are very rough with many rocks and roots. This place is better suited for hiking.

I never knew this preserve existed until yesterday. I usually hike the mountains, but with less daylight this time of year I needed something closer by to curb my outdoor itch. This was way less crowded than the Bangor City Forest which made it so much more desirable. Although I parked at the BCF, I ended up in Walden on accident, but it was one of the best accidents I've had. In total I managed to squeak out just about 10 miles of walking and barely moderate "hiking" while here.

Not crowded. Connects to Bangor forest and Penjajawok at various points so there are several miles of trails

very nice bike trails that connect to the bangor city forest trails as well as the caribou bog trails all are set up very well you could spend all day and not get bored

Such a nice and beautiful place to ride bikes and go for a walk amongst the Wild in maine.

The bog walk was an easy trek with lots to look at along the way. It was shaded on the way in and out, with a sunny section in the middle of the loop. There were a couple of benches throughout where you could take a break and nature watch. Parking was full, but there was an overflow lot.

I was super impressed with this park. I wish I lived near a park like this! What a gem for the city of Bangor! Lots of well marked trails. Not a lot of elevation if you are looking for a hill workout but great, shaded trails for walking or running. The Bog walk boardwalk is also super nice, well maintained with lots of informational plaques about the environment and wildlife/birds who call the bog home.

Wonderful big park for easy hiking, trail running, or biking. Tall trees provide lots of shade. Paths are clearly marked with maps posted at intersections. There are primary and secondary trails, so lots of options for exploring. Trails are dog friendly; I had my pup with me, and we saw many others walking their dogs too. Heavily visited park but didn't feel crowded; getting there early is best if you want a quiet secluded walk. My only complaint is that the parking lot I parked in was NOT labeled on the posted maps, so I had to use GPS to make it back to my car.

Close to Bangor with lots of trails for all. Great running, biking, and hiking.

A delightful find, near Bangor International Airport. A beautiful 😍 place for a walk while waiting for your flight, when it's too early to check in at the airport, but you've had to check out of your hotel or BNB. One last rendezvous with Maine's beautiful nature and a chance to stretch our leg before our long flight home. Kudos to my husband for finding it online. And yet another chance to learn a few things.

Came here to ride my bike. Brown trail is best for bike riding, Blue trail is very rough.

Nice, very quiet and peaceful. Trails are about . 6 miles but you can walk the outer loop trail a few times to get more exercise.

Our first time going there and it was an awesome experience the trail is very nice a lot of different options and doesn't even seem like you're in the middle of a city while walking through it's very peaceful and I highly recommend this place for a quick getaway and some beautiful wildlife!

Today was my first time walking the trail here. The trail was very well maintained and there are geochaches for those who are interested. It's a beautiful location and quiet for a nice getaway from the city for half an hour to hour.

Incredible trails. Tons of wildlife even in the city!

The trails were a mixture of dry ground & snow, but very manageable. My puppies had a great time! Only disappointing thing was there was a lot of dog poop on the trail. People are supposed to pick up after there animals so that we can all enjoy where we walk without having to dodge "mine fields of poop"

Nice bit of woods to walk, the trails are in good shape and it has beautiful mature trees with little hints of marsh. Needs a bin and bags to encourage people to pick up after their dogs. Also, the parking lot is in horrible condition, huge potholes all over it.

My family and I go for walks daily and this is a place we go alot. There's a small pond here, never swam in it but pretty seeing all the turtles and fish. There's always an owl out too that we see every walk.

Great trails...but one preserve melded into another as we tried to get to the swamp overlook. We must a took a right at the r.r. bed instead of a left. Loved the bridge!

This is a great trail for any season and it has been recently upgraded with some gravel and new bridges.

I like these Woods even though they tend to be spooky and dark, and there are foot bridges, roots and big rocks all over. One time I got lost in the Bangor Forest on my bike and ended up in this preserve, which is definitely not bike friendly because you have to carry your bike over the bridges rocks and roots , but it is right next door to the Bangor Forest. I was lucky to get out of The Preserve right before dark, because I would have been surprised if I saw the black bear which lived somewhere around in there and wanders around in the Bangor Forest as well. But I think the bear is used to people, because one lady I talked to saw the bear three times-- first as a cub then a little older and then a third time and on its legs it's maybe 6 ft tall now.

Really beautiful! We were visiting from California and hiked the trail with our 2.5 year old daughter. She loved hopping off the rocks on the trail and walking on the foot bridges. We went in mid October so most if the leaves were down but there were still some really beautiful colors. It's a very easy 2mi hike but great to do with kids

My wife two-year-old and I did this hike Sunday afternoon. I would love to come back with my mountain bike sometime. It looks very challenging and like lots of fun. Probably about 2 miles doing the longest loop. It is also a very scenic and rough trail.

Just on the outskirts of Bangor behind all the shopping outlets this gem is to be found. The trail is very natural, meaning you walk in part over the natural obstacles like roots, leaves or stones. Other parts of the trail are.more tame or have additional attractions, like bog crossing bridges. Some of the trail is more of a steep hill, most is plain and even for the not so much agile doable. What makes this a true pearl is how close to nature you feel. From ponds to trees and rocks, everything feels very untouched and primeval. A tiny piece of paradise a stone throw away from civilization.

Great trail, feels like a hike more than just a public trail. Very clean.

If you are doing a drive-by, you have the Entertainment so there's no traffic coming. It might be easier to park somewhere to take a picture. We got lucky as it wasn't real busy.

This was a lot larger than I imagined and I really liked it. The statue was in really good condition and the info boards surrounding it are well worth reading as the whole story about the man and the statue is interesting and fun. Well worth a visit if you're nearby and it is only a short walk from the waterfront so the two combined can use up a few hours.

Very nice detail on the statue and very informative information on the posts around the statue. The landscaping was a bit unkept, but overall a nice visit.

This is one of the iconic things to do in Bangor, and so we were happy to stop by. We weren’t exactly sure where to park because it is located near a busy street, but once we did, we enjoyed taking pictures of Paul and reading the plaques about the statue.

Paul Bunyan in all his glory with all his tales.. Very cool status with great accompanying stories.

It’s real big and you learn some interesting facts/lore from plaques at the site.

Who doesn't love a cool Paul Bunyan statue?

Beautiful cemetery. Well keep. Nice place to drive through and stop for a little tour.

This is a must see destination for any fan of Stephen King! The cemetery is well maintained, large and very beautiful. The groundskeepers were friendly and not at all phased by a couple of movie/literature nerds roaming the grounds! Just make sure you are being respectful! The hunt for the famous markers that lead to inspiration for the novels “Carrie” and “It” were fun to explore the grounds for! Seeking spots where parts of Pet Sematary were filmed was even more fun! We paid our due respects to the residents and left with some neat photos. Highly recommend this stop for fans! Please, please, just be mindful and respectful.

An insane amount of history here. If you love walking around cemeteries, just know that this one is huge. I was there a couple hours on a hot day and only scratched the surface before my water was gone. It is clearly cared for, albeit dry like the rest of the area. I stayed in what I believe are the oldest sections. Some of the headstones are like works of art. So many stories here dating back well over 100 years.

We searched for a lovely, scenic, quiet and historic special spot for our child to rest in peace. We discovered Mt Hope. We decided upon the Scattering Garden Memorial area. Emily and Steve, superintendents, made us welcome in the lodge with an appointment. We were able to pick a garden spot, were assisted with placing our cremains and the Bronze plaque on Memorial Wall is well done. The option was perfect for our family; dignified special, lovely and affordable. Thank you Mt Hope, Emily and Steve. Mt Hope, a historic American garden cemetary is also a peaceful spot to walk or jog on a summer evening with many paths and hills.

Really a beautiful cemetery in its own right - the older section has beautiful monuments and hills and stairs - definitely much more interesting than your average cemetery. If you're a Stephen King fan, you can see where he took some of his names from grave stones, and even places where they shot some of the adaptations that King was in. It's confusing to drive around, but just keep going and you'll find interesting stuff. It'd be a great place to walk if you live here. (Make sure to book sktours for an explanation of the King tie-ins.)

I am not one to venture to cemeteries for fun, but this one was an exception and I am glad I went. This is a very beautiful cemetery and on a pleasant fall day it was very relaxing in the middle of the pandemic. There are some fascinating headstones combined with the tie to the King novel, it just all came together.

The gates that I went to were closed on weekends. This is the gates next to the Koren War memoral and civel war memoral.. this cemetery is the second oldest in the United States after the one in Boston, Ma that it was patterned after. It's called that because of the landscaping with ponds, shrubs and spacing of the graves.

Do Not Walk Your Dog Here there are needles everywhere. The trail itself is beautiful. Unfortunately it is not maintained by the city despite being so close. Garbage and needles are scattered throughout the trail making it incredibly unsafe and turns a relaxing walk into a grim reminder of Bangor's general drug and homelessness issue.

This trail is a disgrace to the city of Bangor. Two steps in and all I can see is discarded hypodermic needles and trash. Evidence of rampant drug use with no consequences. If you want to catch hepatitis or HIV by stepping on discarded needles come to this “trail”. It’s a hazard to public health and the city of Bangor should step up and clean this mess.

It’s beautiful but it’s also sad I seen homeless people and drug paraphernalia on the actual trail 👀.

Very beautiful nature with some cute wildlife. Unfortunately there’s a ton of trash, needles, and people actively using. Saw a used needle next to a duck. There was a makeshift burn pit next to a memorial. The bridge also had several large gaps between the boards, easily could seriously injure a small child or dog. I wish I could say I enjoyed but walked away after seeing a large group of people using after we crossed the bridge and decided to go home. The city really should maintain this area better.

Disgusting. Residential Garbage and litter everywhere. Homeless and vagrants have encamped the entire trail. Needles and medical waste on the ground. Gross. Bangor City Hall, at the start of the trail and sharing the same parking lot, should be ashamed.

I love walking the stream path but the city needs to do a better job of keeping it clean. I can only pick up so much trash on my own :(

Beautiful walk across a bridge, however the borads are a little loose, and the homeless everywhere makes it an uncomfortable walk especially when you can feel them watching and here them talking about you.

Love this place. The area is so big it takes up both sides of the road. New playground is pretty awesome, they even installed some outdoor exercise equipment. Plenty of easy parking makes this place a no brainer,. Good job to the city of Bangor.

Its a quiet park right next to my house. I come here very often. Love this place and would totally recommend to anyone.

This is a very nice park. Some of the adult equipment is in poor condition but the kids had fun. Limited number of trash cans available.

NO KINGS 2.0 A peaceful protest of approx 2000 of us. I wish we could do it every Saturday.

Love the playground. Just wish there was a restroom of some sort.

Great place for kids to play and have an imagination.. I dont like that it's on a busy road as there is alot of traffic but however, there is quite the distance from the play area and the road

No restrooms so don’t plan on drinking too much at your picnic and then staying too long afterwards.

Nice playground with the skate park and all kinds of playground equipment. It is right next-door to a baseball field a basketball court and what seems to be a pretty cool pool for the area. Lots of free parking to get there before one.

Such a great place to take kids. Our son loves the playground and watching the skateboarders at the skate park across the field from it. Also have the beth pancoe pool in the same parking lot which is nice and pretty affordable. I wish there were bathrooms available for the playground and such, that would make staying longer much easier.

The water slides have a 48” height minimum despite no mention of it on the website or proper signage. Kids were very disappointed to say the least. Even offered to show the lifeguard our kids could swim a 25m independently

Has a skate park and a good playground. It also has a great little league area.

Brought the kids to swim. It was fantastic fun. And then the kids wanted to play at the playground when the pool closed. My only negative thought was that the hours were really short so just make sure you plan your visit within the open times.

Very family friendly place.. off road parking, water slides, baseball feild

This is a great park, convenient to the pool, baseball field, basketball court, skating, walking paths etc.

If you feeling nostalgic for horse racing then here's your place. I thought the place had a lot of character. Could the stands be a little cleaner sure. The staff was real friendly. First time it was ever able to buy a beer and place my bet at the window.

Dusty outside, kitchen closed, but was a fun experience

Just watching the horses work out.

Went to visit the horses. Brought me back to the one beautiful place from my childhood

Bangor state fair was great. $14 to get in and all rides, farm area, grizzly bear show and Bengal tiger show is included. Awsome!!!

It has a well manicured and maintained horse track. The fireworks held there for the 4th of July of 2023 were very underwhelming, but it was a last minute decision. The great Bangor State Fair is held here every year.

Watched son and others do motor cross...

What a beautiful quiet clean well manicured park. The playground here for the kids is super impressive and the free open space to roam and run is nothing short of awesome. Very easy to get to and easy parking up and down every street. We are really enjoying this quiet place of Bangor!

Large grassy area compliments a decent, newer style playground. A Paved path around the perimeter allows for measured walks in a peaceful residential atmosphere with a elementary school next door.

This is a gorgeous, clean, safe park. I bring my dog here daily. There are trash bins, the lawn is kept up and they even provide doggie bags 😊 Highly recommended 👌

Between the dog poop and the off leash dogs being out of control, this is not an enjoyable nor safe place to walk smaller dogs on a leash. Irresponsible dog owners ruin it for everyone!

Adams Real Estate has been contributing to the block party since 1997. Hot dogs, local band, face painting. My family has been going to the park since 1984.

Really nice play area with plenty of room to walk around. Safe neighborhood and next to a school. Great place to take the kids.

Definitely your quintessential, quaint park. Yup. It's quaint. And quintessential. You can do park-y things here, like bike riding and birthday parties and watching grass grow. Literally any park fantasy you have you can bring here-- JUST ADD WATER! Seriously. Bring water. Hydrate or die-drate, my friend. You're welcome. Now you won't be too thirsty next time you visit Chapin Park. No need to thank me. Just your friendly, neighborhood Google Maps reviewer here, reviewing a... Park? Look. It was recommended to me by my phone algorithm and I had to comply for Big Brother! Ya happy!? Ehem. And thus concludes my 5 star review of Chapin Park.

Large open space here in a wonderful neighborhood. However the equipment here is somewhat dated compared to other older parks in less desired neighborhoods! Giant slide pleases my kids every time however

Great size for family and friend gatherings as well as peaceful and plenty of room for children to run around as well as room for a good game of Frisbee or baseball or anything for the older crowds!!

There wasn’t a lot of options for younger children other than the swings. Large field for dogs to play around and kids to run.

Great park with nice equipment and big open grassy area. We love to meet friends here and enjoy sunny 🌞 days

Came to the park because there was a little craft sale. I bought a few cute items. The park had a nice playground for children, a gazebo and a bunch of park benches next to the waterfront.

Great area, lots of grassy space to play around, new playground, has a lot to do! Basketball area, swings and lots of jungle gym equipment. Seems more geared for older youngsters as it is quite tall, as well as surfaces on climbing apparatus are very slippery with any moisture on them! Good place to play and have a picnic!

This is a neighborhood park with a playground, a sidewalk around the perimeter, a few mature tress and a large lawn expanse. I see kids there regularly, saw some guys playing stick ball once, always people walking the path around it. There are a few benches and some trash cans as well. It's nice for a neighborhood park. Minus a star for how wet it is. Did the Penjajowac marsh used to extend all the way into this neighborhood? I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case. I'm not sure how much could be done about this, so I guess when I take the pup on long leash Frisbee time I'll just take a towel for our feet until summer when it will hopefully dry out a bit.

Not a tennis court, but more of a paddle ball court (1/2 size) cute little playground, quite high for small kids, but has swings, playground, basketball court, picnic tables and overall seemed pretty clean.

Very cute park with a really fun playground. One thing that I noticed was the playground structure felt like it should have been buried in the ground a couple another foot or so, but my kiddo kind of loved jumping down from the slide, haha. There was also lots of shade from trees which is always nice.

Not a bad little park. My biggest cons were that there are no bathrooms, and no benches or tables by the playground area. Other than that it was nice. The Play structure isn't for littles, I'd say at least five year olds. Anyone younger will have a hard time. There are two pickle ball courts and a basketball court to use. There is a small pavilion with two picnic tables over by the basketball court.

Good playground structure, plenty of shade. The only place to sit is 100+ feet from the playground, not really family friendly. There were people taking up the only two benches and smoking cigarettes. Can't forget, NO BATHROOMS.

We were just passing by and I haven't been here really to hang out or bring any kids by since the homeless people are squatting in that area.. I mean it awesome that Bangor has designated a place for them to do just that but unfortunately a few bad eggs will ruin the reputation of the whole community of people up there that come on really hard times. I would give this park 5⭐️'s but because of the situation so close by I'm going to have to give it a hard 4

This beautiful park for kids of all ages is rite along the Penobscot River . It has a dog friendly area that is far enough away from the children's activities, so you are comfortable. Also close enough so your spouse or friend can walk your furry friend and remain in contact with you while you have your little ones enjoying the playground equipment! it's clean, has indoor well maintained public restrooms, even a picnic area. Stores and restaurants near by . A definite must see if your ever in the old town Area.

The new Pickleball Courts were in good condition a year ago. The area in which they were built has its rough spots. The courts have been used for skate boarding, scooters and in winter months, a skating rink, to name a few activities.

Interesting. The river views are pretty. Lots of homeless people. There was two bathrooms open for tons of people. Should probably have port-a-potties for big events like the Fourth of July. A decent amount of food trucks.

This waterfront is a lovely place to walk, relax, or catch a concert. Beautiful views of the Penobscot River, it’s perfect for a stroll, picnic, or simply unwinding by the water.

Visited yesterday for the July 4th festivities. We enjoyed a great Rolling Sones cover band and a small pizza from one of the food trucks before the fireworks.

My husband is on crutches due to total ankle replacement and he was treated like royalty! He was able to park in handicapped parking without a parking pass, golf cart ride to gate, wheel chair ride to upgraded ADA seating center stage behind 100’s, elevated view. Staff was amazing, from parking to seating, especially the cowboy hat wearing lead(sorry, I forgot her name), and wait staff were very accommodating, with no complaint when we requested ice for him due to swelling. I can’t speak highly enough about our experience and inclusiveness. We would highly recommend any disabled individual to attend!

Nice walking trail, a little sketchy in places but not horrible.

Nice little waterfront area in Bangor. Perfect spot for a nice walk.

Awesome venue, other than the seat assignment being a bit confusing, but lots of people who are willing to help out. Clean and convenient. Easy enough to find surrounding parking for $20.

A beautiful walk through the woods, with plenty of options for different trails and routes to take! It felt as though we walked into a different world. It was so pretty and we very much enjoyed our time there! I plan to be back to walk all the trails.

This is one of my favorite hikes in this area. It is often very muddy and some sections have roots that may be hard for small kids to navigate. There are sections of trail that go through pines, over streams and fields. One section of field is not well marked, but overall it's a nice little hike.

Can be pretty tough to walk here - the trail is barely cleared in most places.

Nice scenic trail, there were trees down in the path due to high winds. Trails should be marked better.

Extraordinary walk. Tried to run it but too tricky in many spots. Still most enjoyable. I appreciate the hard work put into this, and for those who desire better trail marking maybe they might consider volunteering some time and help to do that.🤗. I thought it was marked very well.

A nice park nestled between homes on a residential street that feels like your away from everything when your walking through the woods.

Nice in town hike. Some spots, especially in fields are not marked at all. Basically an improved game trail. Very uneven in spots, not for those with mobility issues. Probably will do again.

Pretty park for nature walks. Trails aren't well marked.

Large open area...lots of trails

Saxl Park is a wonderful venue for cross country meets. Plenty of parking and a variety of course distances. There can be some wet areas when the weather isn’t cooperative though.

This is a large field area. During summer when the field is growing, wide pathways are cut through. In the fall, the fields are used for cross-country track meets. The fields can be significant wet after a rain and spring/summer you do need to watch for ticks. Wildlife does traverse the field.

I went to saxl park for a cross country meet their course was well marked and smooth maybe I will go run there sometime for fun.😊

Great place to walk

4 stars because it is great convenient snowshoeing in the winter, like the Mario 3 desert sun levels in July.

Tried to eat our take out dinner here but decided not to after checking to see if the woman sprawled on the ground was alive (she was thankfully), getting accosted by a lady talking nonsense who was also going through the trash, and seeing all the trash covering the ground. And as we drove away a tweaker was making their way in. So yeah, don't go here.

It's a good park with plenty of room for running around and playing sadly though the homeless people like to gather up down in the corner of the park and do they're drugs and nod out and make a mess, so I would recommend that if you do go to this park that you try to get there a little earlier than them and leave when you see them coming, it's very sad that I have to tell the kids that they have to leave the park instead of them people leaving and shame on them for not Respecting parents and children!

A pretty playground with a large field and cement paths but unfortunately littered with trash.

This war a first time visit. I was warned of needles from strangers as passer-by ers. I did not see any. The set up for children I thought was cute.

Us locals call this " heroin park" it's littered with trash all the time. No trashcan in sight either.

Would be better if it was cleaner. I mean, kids go there, come on Bangor.

Nice equipment seemed like ok people

What a nice spot to go for a run or a walk or just chill on a park bench. There’s plenty of free parking here so that’s never an issue. We were fortunate enough to catch the river boat and an ice cream truck. The homeless population is out of control, but they don’t seem to bother anybody so that’s cool.

Penobscot river is calm, silent and beautiful. This river is the heart and soul of Bangor. Love it!

While in Bangor, we walked along this walkway. It has a nice view of the water, and is a good place to walk.

Very beautiful walk. Loved it!

Nice area to walk. We just happened to be walking by when a cruise ship came up the penobscot river and docked right in front of us.

This is a wonderful trail. We really enjoyed it and if you need a hour to kill was a great place to do it.

What a nice spot to go for a run or a walk or just chill on a park bench.

Very nice place to visit, reflect, or just talk a walk to clear your head. Share your smile remembering the past shed a tear of sorrow and then of all the good times. Easy to find parking is available so no need to worry you've got time but don't waste it breathe deep and let it all out. I would definitely visit again summer day or early spring it never a bad time

My daughters grave is well kept. I heard it has a new staff there now... The people who worked there when my daughter passed away were very kind to me. Not rude at all. They sat and explained things to me. They took their time when I was deciding which plot I wanted. They never rushed me.

Interesting place to walk. The cemetery is split by the highway but both halves are accessable by Ohio Street. It's got a large mausoleum on top of a tall steep hill that looks like something out of a Gothic style movie. The front gate has lion heads on them and there are plenty old graves dating way back giving it a very historic feel. From the road it looks like a small cemetery however it goes a lot further back. On the far back side is a small wooded area just before the Kedusgeak river. If you are in the park on Valley Ave and walking the path on the other side of the river (accessable via Harlow street which connects to Valley Ave) you can see the cemetery peaking through the woods. I was standing in the cemetery a few Octobers ago when a huge flock of crows flew over the mausoleum and over the cemetery, it was a very picturesque scene. It's not a huge cemetery but it's an interesting place to take a walk on a sunny day. Some people don't like the highway cutting through the middle but I feel it gives it a unique feeling as the hillside from the valley stream, to the highway, to the cemetery is 3 teared (as tall as a 8 to 10 story building in height). Trivia: The cemetery used to be 1 whole piece however lots of graves where moved when the highway was built. A very tall bridge was built over the kendugeag stream that leads to the side of the valley were the highway spits the cemetery. The two halves are set up even higher on hills and yet another bridge connects one side of Ohio street to the other. If you are standing on the Ohio St. overpass looking between the two halves of the cemetery you can see the long curved bridge that passes over the kenusgeak Stream and yet another road that runs under that tall bridge. If you are scared of heights this may not be a place for you to stand (on the Ohio St overpass), but it will give you a since of the almost hidden and often overlooked sense of shear heights of that area. 1st the Velley Ave road running on the far side of the stream under the tall curved highway bridge that passes over both Valley Ave & Kendusgeak stream, to an even higher spot atop the Ohio St. overpass. If you were to stand near the mausoleum you will also notice a very steep tall hillside that places you up higher still. However most the wooded area blocks the view, however during the late fall early winter when the leaves are off the trees, standing next to the mausoleum and looking just right through the trees gives you a real sense of breathtaking heights of the area. Because people pass through this area fast and because of a lot of foliage people don't realize the almost hidden dynamic angles and views of that area. It's a hidden gem of perspectives.

A beautiful and tranquil place to walk through, nestled peacefully, in the heart of Bangor.

Lovely place to walk and look at wildlife.

(Translated by Google) A curious, well-kept cemetery. May be interesting for fans of Stephen King's work - it was this that inspired the writer to create Pet Sematary (Original) Любопытное ухоженое кладбище. Может быть интересно для фанатов творчества Стивена Кинга - именно оно вдохновило писателя на создание "Кладбища домашних животных"

basketball court and a swimming pool

When the sky is so beautiful before it's even daylight!!

Very beautiful just getting some sun and relaxing.

Not just a dog park. There are lots of bike and walking trails. And a basketball court! So beautiful out there. Highly recommend.

Separate play areas for large and small dogs. We used the big dog area, and there's lots of room for running and playing. Trees provide shade. The ground is covered in fine gravel, so it wasn't muddy. Water hose is avaliable, along with baby pools and water bowls. As with all dog parks, some people don't clean up after their dogs, but it wasn't too bad. Locals were super friendly.

This place is wonderful! There are multiple pins set up for different size dogs. Trails that are wide, and maintained. My dog spends hours walking the trails and running around in the pins. There are pools filled with water on hot days! Bowls have been placed in the pins for drinking when your pup gets thirsty. There are balls and all kinds of things to keep them busy and socializing. 🥰 My only issue is the equipment in one of the pins and on a trail of to the left is the ramp is broken and could cause injury. It should either be removed or replaced.

Great size park with multiple enclosures for different sizes dogs. Picnic tables for seating under the shade. Hose water for the dogs. No bathrooms, not even a porta potty. The dog area itself had gravel and I honestly wasn't a fan because some dogs like to kick up the ground after going potty and those rocks were really flinging far!

Has sections for different size dogs. Well-kept fields, drip water available, plenty of parking.

Park looks nice, but the only seems to take care of one side and not the other. No water fountain/ station for the dogs. Lots of mosquitoes and some dog owners don't seems to pick their pets waste, be careful when you stepping.

Great dog park. Separate areas for large and small dogs. Dogs are well behaved with plenty of room to get energy out. Great for visitors traveling with pets. Large dog area has shade, water, lots of room.

The walking paths aren't too long. I think the main draw is the grassland. Way, way off in the distance you could see bobolinks which was pretty cool. This is about a 10 minute stop.

Attended the opening of the new bat high rise condos which will support up to 4,000 bats today. Great work done by the Bangor Land Trust!

Super pretty. Couldn't really walk around since came with pups and it's no dogs from April to end of July and wanted to respect that

Nice spot. Took my dog for a walk. Kinda disappointed that people don't clean up after their dogs.

Very beautiful spot. Open field and grassland.

Not sure of trail. Nothing was posted at trailhead or online.

Quite nice place to walk or ride bikes .
