The lack of public restrooms in the area is a drawback, especially if youre bringing younger children or need the restroom yourself. That said, its a beautiful, expansive park with a well maintained walking/jogging path and tables for lunches. The view of the Capital cannot be beat. The Vietnam Memorial was a stately and understated tribute to armed forces service members as well. Bring a lunch and take a stroll.
A perfect viewing spot for one of the more beautiful State Houses. The park could use a few more branches or picnic tables, but its a lovely place.
Beautiful park across from the Augusta Capital Building. This park is lovely, & well kept, with very large, long meandering sidewalks, next to massive trees that keep the park cool, & quiet! Picnic tables, benches, & the Vietnam Veterans statue allow for places to view, eat, or sit. Dogs are allowed, & people of all ages come to enjoy, exercise, & experience the beauty this park holds!
Did not go there
Too early in the season when we were there to really enjoy
Lovely place for socially distant visits.
Beautiful park with WiFi close by
Wide open green spaces with a great view of the Capitol, especially at sunup/sundown and at night with the Capitol building all lit up. Easy to access and always very clean. Sometimes can be a bit noisy due to its location, but it’s large enough that most spots aren’t loud enough to spoil the day. Great spot for family photos or photographers looking for an easy but engaging location.
Spartan, yet beautiful park with tree lined walking paths. Lots of tables and benches to sit and relax on, all in the shadow of the Capitol building. A wonderful place to stop for a br AK on my way through town.
Peaceful and quiet, cool under the trees. Where the rains had not drained well, they had formed a very shallow pond near us, where ducks played and made us smile.The Maine Vietnam War Memorial stands here, too, somber and solemn.
Wicked good walking path all the way around the park... Its beautiful
I love the walking paths. Wish they were maintained all winter!
This park is so beautiful. Its great for outdoor yoga classes, dog training classes, picnics, hanging out eith friends, playing outside games such as Frisbee or kanjam with friends. Theres also a small sidewalk that goes around the perimeter of the park that you can walk on to get some daily exercise in. Theres also a small playground next to the park which is super fun to play on and is great for small children. There are a lot of big trees on the park that provide shade for the super hot and sunny days.
Perfect place for walking or jog. The views of Capitol are outstanding. Nice mix of shade and sunlit areas. Pets welcome.
Nice place to walk
Nice, quiet green space. Nice paths to walk & close by the Kennebec Rail Trail.
In winter you can snow shoe thru it. Its the one of the best things about Augusta. Its safe and beautiful. I wish more people would hang out there.
Great park with beautiful views of the capitol.
Nice place to take a quick walk.
A nice park. Great for a picnic
Lovely walking pathways through the park. Lots of green area for picnics.
Waterlogged during my visit but super peaceful with noone else present. Id assume during the summer it is quite beautiful.
Plenty of open space and a walking trail encompasses the entire perimeter. Dog friendly, but please clean up after your pup. #greatoutdorrwalkwithyourpet
Its a very nice walk, especially during the day and night.
Nice place to sit and take lunch.
Nice place to relax for a bit.

A beautiful Green space in the middle of the city with a great view of the Capitol building. Also is near the Kennebec River Rail Trail.
Great place to exercise and walk your dog.

Beautiful
I love this park. Come to Maines capital and visit this park to get best view of the capital building. Enjoy a picnic, a stroll along the paths in the park or wander across the street to playground. Bathrooms are open to the public in the State Library / State Museum during regular business hours and in the summer there are port a potties at the entrance to the Kennebec Rail Trail by the playground. This a dog friendly park, and paths are accessable but not entirely paved, some parts may get too soft to navigate when it has been raining a lot. Have a great visit!
I live about a 2 minute walk from park,love the park.

Very quiet and able to walk without someone asking me for money or a cigarette. Thank god the tweakers in Augusta havnt figured this place out..... Yet
Easy walking trails in a nice setting. Traffic detracts from what could be an amazing park.
The citizens of Maine are blessed to have such a beautiful park nestled between the Capitol Building and the Kennebec River. Access to the Rail Trail is nearby.
