Very lovely place. Watch carefully or you can miss entrance. Nice water fountain. My wife and I got a surprise when the water on fountain rotated and wet us as we were about to take pictures. Nice simple water fall behind the fountain with simple trail that seems to circle around. Nice area to relax/think/read/talk and walk around. Nice visit to stop and check out.

Very relaxing park with a short trail and benches. Well maintained and the fountain and waterfalls are quite relaxing.

I loved this place as a kid and I still do. The reason its not 5 stars is mostly the fact either the city needs to give it some TLC or a garden club does. The paths and features are pretty well maintained, but a lot of the plants need some attention from good gardeners to really get back to the perfectly trimmed and well-kept state I remember from the late 90s.

Beautiful and peaceful park with a great walking trail. Gets a bit steep, so slow and steady with take you through it if you have any physical challenges. The walking trail is not terribly long ( less than 1 mi.) but it takes you through the wooded area. Very nice!

The tour was very informative. Being able to interact w the animals is neat. Where else can you feed a 700 pound black bear being 3 feet from him . My daughter took her graduation picture w gandolf the wolf. They came out awesome.

It is a beautiful park and peaceful area. However, there are not enough picnic tables and the ones that were there were in bad shape. Just needs an update.

Being a Maine native, I have been to Cascade Park many times. The disrepair the park was in during todays visit was a shock. There was litter throughout the park, there were piles of pine needles in the trails, the gazebo was rotting & the water features were overgrown in spots.

On our trips to Northern Maine we try to find parks to stop at and let the kids run around. This has been added to our list of favorites! Its small but has plenty of shade, picnic tables and the fountain and falls are so pretty!

Cascade Park is a really good place if you want to have picnics or if you want to have a get together with family and friends and have a party also its good place to go on Trails. And also there are people that actually either get married or want to go there to to relax and have their kids run around.

The weather was lovely warm with a nice breeze but if they are going to a place to enjoy the tables and chairs should not be castoffs from the waterfront Park

I hosted a candlelight vigil in Cascade Park.though Id been there once before during the day Ive never visited at night and it was absolutely beautiful we could not have picked a better place to have such an event. Extremely well maintained and a beautiful place to walk or sit!

Nice place to take a break, short walk. Enjoy watching the water, relax. Path fits wheelchair, mostly gentle slope( except bridge, can go around). Benches to rest on. Good for those unable to walk far but want to get outside.

This is a lovely spot to bring kids or even hold an event. Many people come here to take pictures for high school graduates or hold weddings. In the summer you might even see a car show with race cars in the lot. Lovely community spot places to eat in the gazebo.

Beautiful and serene. Lots of benches, walking trails the two waterfalls and of course the fountain! Took an 8 year old boy, figured hed be bored but he walked (ran) the waterfall trails, then played in the water channels using his flip flops as boats. 3 hours! Not a complaint.

Relaxing and comfortable place to just be. If you need a break or some mental space there is plenty of room to sit back, relax, and enjoy the sunshine.The park is focussed around a beautiful water feature and has benches scattered through out it.Go chill in Cascade park. Its a great place for it.

Review №85

My son and I loved the trails and the fountain and water was lovely, liked the amount of benches to sit on and relax.Only downfall to experience was the disgusting smell of marijuana wafting from all directions.... Just because some like to partake doesnt mean everyone wants to be huffing it... Totally killed the Nature Buzz...But otherwise wonderful afternoon!

Review №87

Nice place... Very clean and looks good always.Only problem is that its very public and free. So you often see not so friendly or sketchy people there. And its not very comforting.Also often its a spot used to wedding partys and or high school prom pictures. So if youre there just having lunch those groups try to push you out and will. But again its public... So again Im confused on that part.
