However when I reached out to the owner for a reservation she was so sweet and communicated back that she's a one woman show no other employee, a college student (which is why the schedule is limited) working to make this business successful, I knew we would go regardless if it was a rainy day so we made reservations for another night. We made reservations for 8:30 so we could get dinner and dessert out of the way and could enjoy some glow bowling. I messaged her our shoe sizes ahead of time, she had them out and ready for us upon arrival. We had the best time! If you are in the area def. try to support this small business owner. Be patient as she is her only employee and have fun!

The lights match the street lights on Main Street and there is a long paved walkway for children to ride bikes. Plenty of open space to do yoga, read or just relax. The best part is, is that it is right off of Main Street and minutes from downtown. Well done City of Bangor in getting this park back to the level it deserves.

Wonderful in town park located adjacent to the middle school. There is a full court basketball…read morecourt with painted lines and a textured tennis court like surface. There is a large grassy area with a soccer field complete with goals. There is an abundance of playground equipment Thais is up to date, clean, well maintained, and offers a set for toddlers, and a separate one for bigger kids. The one downside is a lack of trees or any natural beauty as this is located on a residential neighborhood next to a school so it was just sort of purpose built with no aesthetics in mind. There also is so walking trail along the perimeter either. Plenty of off street parking as well as picnic tables. Well done city of Old Town Maine!!

Not to be confused with the Fort Knox that holds the gold. This was a cool side trip…read more Located on the west bank of the Penobscot River in Prospect, Maine, in an area known as the Penobscot Narrows. Fort Knox is one of the best-preserved military fortifications on the New England seacoast. The fort has many unique architectural features and a rich history behind its walls. It is America's first fort named after Major General Henry Knox. ​ During the country's infancy, Maine was repeatedly involved in northeast border disputes with British Canada. In fact, the area between Castine and the rich lumber city of Bangor was invaded and occupied by the British during the American Revolution and the War of 1812. Fort Knox was established in 1844 to protect the Penobscot River Valley against a possible future British naval incursion. It was designed by Chief Engineer Joseph Totten, with a number of other engineers serving as superintendents of construction from 1844 - 1869, among them Isaac Ingalls Stevens and Thomas L. Casey. The fort was named for Major General Henry Knox, America's first Secretary of War, who was born in Boston but retired to Thomaston, Maine, in 1796. The fort garrisoned its first troops from 1863 to 1866. These troops were mostly volunteers undergoing training before being sent to their active posts and included members of the celebrated 20th Maine. Troops were briefly stationed at the fort during the Spanish-American war in 1898 but never saw military action. If you're in the area and enjoy history, especially military history it's worth your time to tour.

It was a nice 10 minute walk down a wooded, paved road to the lake. There were a surprising number of cars parked on the road meaning we weren't the only ones who didn't mind the walk. Since it is very early in the year the water is very cold! But the water and the beach is perfectly clean. It is a nice place to take the family for an afternoon at the lake. More hiking would have bumped the rating to 5 stars!

The girls stayed as far away from them as possible and two out of the three got swimmers itch. The lifeguards were very pleasant. There are multiple picnic tables with grills. There are two well maintained playgrounds and larger areas for parties. The picnic tables are mostly tucked under trees so that you can get shade. The beach is large and nice but mostly gravel. If they could keep the ducks out of the public swimming area, it would be a perfect spot.
