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.

Why go to the big mountain to learn to ski, when you come here, pay a very reasonable price, get top notch rental equipment, and receive professional instruction. All this and you can do it after work as almost the entire hill is lit for night skiing. Now if you are looking for a big mountain experience, take the several hour drive elsewhere.

However, we felt that the rental staff was a little pushy and judgmental, just wish they could've been as nice as the people helping us out on the slopes.

This is a fun hike, which will lead you to an interesting historic quarry filled in with water, a…read morecool place for swimming in the summer. The granite from the quarry has built many iconic structures in America, including the Washington Monument, the U.S. Senate Office Building, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the United Nations Building, the Philadelphia Mint, the Empire State Building, and several piers that support the Brooklyn Bridge. I've been hiking up to this quarry since my childhood. It can be a dangerous place if you're not careful. There's some broken glass and high cliffs. With that being said, I've been swimming in the Quarry many times and never had issues. It's an okay hike for kids, but they should be with adults for safety. This place is a lotta fun for teens; all throughout high school, my friends and I would visit frequently in the summer.

Driving into the area, I found a museum for the local fish hatchery, a busy swimming area, and public bathrooms. Such luxury compared to what I usually have when out for a hike. The road to the trail was a dirt road and I believe I traveled about a mile before getting to one of three parking areas. There was a large map showing all of the local trails, mountains, and scenic spots. The trail itself was well marked with wooden blue blazes, well groomed, a well maintained bridge and signs along the way to guide a hiker song the trail they want. Much of the trail was smooth granite that made easy walking and can also make for easy mountain biking as a biker when scooting by me while I relaxed. Near the top of the mountain was where the best views were had. At the very top, the view was not as spectacular but needed so I could say I did the whole mountain. All or nothing!! I will definitely be back with my husband and our bikes to check out the mountain bike trails and to check out the museum.

I'm not from here so I had to keep looking at the map since it doesn't tell you where to go from the parking lot. There are many trails here. Basically- keep going right. Turn right from the parking lot. Walk until there's a gift shop and turn right again. Then you'll find the boardwalk. It's very calming and you don't realize that you've walked for a half hour each way. My husband thought that it was like Sherwood forest and I was thinking of the "Wizard of Oz" lol. My pics don't do justice to the beautiful colors but it was so peaceful. Thank you for a beautiful day to the ppl who've maintained this place.

The small triangular park is quite sloped from top to bottom and I can't imagine that anyone does anything here which may be why there's no parking. The centerpiece is a tall granite Soldiers Monument that was dedicated in 1887.
