We went in winter so it it was a crisp wall with hands in pockets. Views of the inner islands of Cadco Bay near Portland, one with an old fort on it.You can start at the cliff/hill top and walk down to the boat ramp car park then wander the shoreline on the rocket beach, or follow the shared oath around to the bottom of the hill before walking through sailing/boat yards or back up the hill via steps.

Beautiful quintessential picturesque views with lots of benches and green space. You can walk or sit and just take in the ocean view. Bring a blanket and sit on the grass with a little picnic. There are hiking trails that go all around. In the evenings there is a community orchestra that plays chamber music. There are quite a few places to park all around. It gets chilly so bring a long sleeve something.

Great place to take a walk with friends/family or sit on one of the many benches around the park. Great memorial to the USS Portland.

Absolutely a nice place to visit when you are in Portland, it is close to the downtown. Easy to find a free parking. Has a gazebo and benches to sit down and enjoy the view. Also nice place to walk along the water. Close to a public restroom. Great View and clean area.

Great spot! Picnic tables and walking trails. Good spot for a picnic.

Its a beautiful area no matter the season. Theres a gazebo and benches you can use to sit and take in the view of Casco Bay or paths to walk and stairs that bring you down to the water. Monuments to check out and even a nearby steam train you can ride in the summer. Great place to watch the sunrise or sunset

You can realize the size of a army ship and learn pretty much of history. Respect for the fallen.

Kids loved exploring around and watching the boats sail by. Lovely view. Great for a picnic.

Beautiful place to sit and look at the water. Any time of the day but especially around dusk. People were polite and saw a couple different groups of people in different areas in little groups and still able to practice safe social distancing guidelines.

Beautifully kept, and a great place for a little history and reflection on people who made the ultimate sacrifice for this country.

Love the steep shaded stairway from the park to the walkway below. Have met interesting people while sitting on the curved stone wall at about the 1/2 way point.

Really nice view of Fort Gorges, islands, boats, springpoint and bug lighthouses. Great area to walk around or sit by the water, plenty of open benches.

BEAUTIFUL clean and serene place to visit for a stroll or a picnic. There is also a gazebo here that many come to take prom pics, wedding pics, etc. Also, there are some old war artifacts to educate, or simply enjoy the sights!

Nice park not big to something to walk through Read some history. you can divert off the main path that follows the water to take a quick look

This is a neat little park in downtown Portland for good views and some historical values. Be sure to take the steps down to the water and see the small train tracks.

Wow what to say about Fort Allen park is on the back side of Munjoy hill in Portland, this is a Great Site with a lot of history, A Major Tourist Attraction for the city, the View is Gorgeous.Please take a moment to press the like button. Thank you graciously

Love this place, so peaceful and the ocean is beautiful, nice big field to play or picnic tables to enjoy a nice bite to eat. Beautiful views of the old fort

Lots of history on the coast of Maine to explore. This was one of many stops for us.

Beautiful spot for walking, sitting on the many benches, or lounging on the grass. Food trucks and other food nearby.

Beautiful little park, well suited Amenities for kids and cool monuments. The best part is easily the walk to the shell beach area. By far a good stop in the Portland area.

Nice place to walk. Beautiful veiw also.

Nice place to sit, relax and enjoy the harbor activity.

This trail wraps around the coastal side of portland and connects the upper neighborhood and the walking path. It runs along a narrow railroad track (which is still in use during certain seasons). You can see Fort Allen out in the water and there us a memorial built on a hill along the path. Check it out. Dog friendly.

Beautiful views of the ocean and the many lighthouses off the coast of Maine!

Cool park, right next to the water. Lots of boats and you can see the historical ship. Also some tennis courts and food vendors.

Very nice place. We enjoyed look at what was going on in the water.

Wonderful day off bike riding with my man. Great trails!

If you are in portland, do not miss this place. Its got one of the greatest views of the harbor and the sea.

Nice park over looking the harbor. Great views, some marine paraphernalia. Train was driving around, people sun bathing, walking dogs on and off leash. Largish play ground near one end. Fishing and beach access

So beautiful to look over the ocean and to view Fort Gorgeous

Nice open space with benches, great views, and beautiful grassy areas to relax on. Bring your cooler and take in the ocean breeze!

Always enjoy this walk with my daughter in the evening its peaceful for the most part, some loud kids in there twenties every now and then but hes there trying to cool off too!!! Love watching all the boats!!!

Great place to bring some takeout and just watch the boats in the harbor.

What a beautiful spot to walk, sit, write, read picnic, sit with friends and your dog and watch the boats in the picturesque harbor area! I look forward to revisiting this spot with a great book and my camera.

Awesome experience definitely a good place to visit!

Such a beautiful view, no matter what the weather is like!

Nice place to walk around and amazing views

Fantastic walk. Great views.

We visited Fort Allen Park and and the surrounding park/beach areas before leaving Portland, Maine. Fort Allen Park’s history is interesting and the area is cozy and a nice place for a picnic and to relax before a long drive back to Boston. We found parking on the street very easily, but signs were posted for July 4th and 5th that the street parking would be blocked for the holiday. So keep that in mind if you’re visiting during the Fourth of July. — July 2019

The food was excellent. The staff was friendly. I had the seafood chowder and Haddock sandwich. It was excellent. The prices were reasonable as well. I would recommend this place to family and friends.

As you walk along the path way and look soon the sea your reminded of that one place you will never forget.. As the small antique locomotive engine trains passengers along you see only smiling faces.Its amazing here and the ocean, unforgettable!

Beautiful well manicured park with an awesome trail system.

Pretty spot to walk and relax even in the Winter months!

Great place to sit and relax while watching the sail boats. There are plenty of little paths to the rocky shore as well as plenty of benches to sit and stare off at the sea.

Nice place. Peaceful

Love stopping at this place and just watching the ships go through the channel. Brings back a ton of memories from my childhood. Used to watch my dad go out to Sea with my mom.

Gorgeous views...pay attention to signs. Lots of one way arrows lil confusing first time.

Nice place to walk, ride and people watch.

Had an amazing time! The ocean view from there is beautiful!

Took a nice walk along the shore, the trail is nice. Opportunity to kayak, with rental company available on site. Picnic tables available all along the trail as well as benches to take in the view. The right side of trail has stairs so if you have a stroller be prepared, but the left side of the trail is stroller/wheel chair friendly. These sides are determined as you are looking at the ocean. Restrooms available, small beach/swim area. Fishing area off the rocks. View of the cruise ship if it is in port. Free parking and dog friendly.

Beautiful park with a well kept path that goes right beside the water. You can take it all the way into downtown.

Almost a breathtaking view of the harbor. Good walkways very clean. A near perfect location. I mean it was impressive to see the boats and ships and monuments to naval personnel. Glad we found it.

Great view, plenty of benches, good spot to walk your dog.

Spectacular view!

Stunning views! Some care could be given to the landscape to remove broken glass on the walkways and trash on the ground.

Beautiful scenery. Awesome Trail.

Beautiful park that contains a nice monument that honors those who fought and died in the Arctic Campaign of World War II. Both Americans and Russians. The view is very pretty and the monument has actual parts from ships that fought in the war.
