Great views of PortlandNice place to walk with you family and or with you dog or both

Its a cute park, a couple ball fields, tennis courts, and a young child playground. We were here for the 10 mile race my boyfriend was running. Its a good location to set up an event like that. However, I felt there could be more benches, and his two kiddos and my kiddo, were disappointed that being such a large park, they did not have a playground for upper elementary/lower middle School kids. It left not much to be done having not brought kites thinking a park this size would have a more accommodating playground. Other than that, cute park for a picnic, event, or such.

Overall a pretty nice place to enjoy year round. Theres fields, a basketball court, tennis courts and a popular sledding area.

Amazing spot to visit you wont be disappointed in this lovely area

Payson Park is a great space in Portland, Maine to play sports or just walk through. Ive played kickball, baseball, and other various sports with friends or with leagues in the park. Its available to rent for any mini sporting event you might want to have.

Great park all year round! Theres a playground for both toddlers & kids, baseball, tennis basketball courts. Fields big enough to play football, soccer, frisbee etc. Plus, ice skating & sliding in the winter. They put jumps in on 1 side of the hill for ppl to practice tricks on their snowboards & even make snow if its cold enough. My only complaint is they should add more lightposts for evening time. The baseball field & basketball courts have night time lighting, but none around the open fields

Was awesome to see kods playing basketball at night..All well mammered amd great sportsmanship I enjoy stopping in to watch the pick up games frequently during my breaks.

Great walking trail. Nice view.

Plenty of room for sledding, snowboard jumps installed to one side, parking lot cleared after fresh snow. Our inexpensive Amazon blow-up sleds did NOT pop even though we got airborne several times going down this hill. Wicked awesome fun for all.

Beautiful park! Larger than I thought. Has everything. Tennis, basketball, running and walking trails and pretty girls. Very clean.

Great park for dogs and physical activity!

Fresh air. Wide open space. 2 baseball fields.

Excellent spot to fly a kite!

Wonderful place to play with little ones

I ran the Portland 10 miler race here this past spring and loved the location. The trails were beautiful and the park was lovely. It went right on the water. I would highly recommend going here!

Great park to visit and to play sports at

Great place for kids

Great park with a fenced in playground that includes a water play area. Good spot to bring your children. Also has a baseball diamond, tons of open park area, and a hill for sledding in the winter.

This was a nice park to bring my toddler and visit. The playground was fenced in while still giving the little one plenty of real estate to explore and run around. You have a great view of Back Cove and the Portland skyline to entertain yourself.

Beautiful place, beautifully maintained

Nice park with tennis and basketball courts. There is plenty of open space. The children’s playground sees lots of use and is well maintained. There are also a few picnic tables scattered about.

We were looking for a kid friendly park by the water. This was perfect.

Clean and beautiful

Its beautiful here. Theres a nice fenced in playground for the kids, and plenty of open areas for other activities.

Good size park, with nice long trail all around beutiful back cove. Located just on edge of downtown. Park also has a playground, and a few sports field, and tennis courts

Even at this time of year the park is a beautiful place. A walk around the cove, a brisk game of tennis or letting the kids run and play-its great.

So u like my brighe right sec wel got something for that

Winter skating is the best. Good multi-use spot.

Adorable little park for the kids with a small splash pad. I loved the secure fencing!!

Beautiful.. great place for a picnic and nice photo ops

I grew up less than a half mile from this park, great place for anything, and back cove is right there to provide a nice breeze, oh ya Im 60 and still live it there

Great place for a walk. Very family friendly.

Lots of space to run, play or picnic.

I play softball there every Sunday! The field is well maintained.

Great public park, plenty of space. Not enty of parking tho.

Great park for a run or walk! Path travels all g the water and very safe for jogging

Absolutely beautiful place to visit. Enjoyed by the whole family.

Loop trail where I can easily park and enjoy the breeze while I exercise

I think its about 50 acres in size. My dog loves to play ball here. Very nice.

Just wish there was easier access to parking when there are events.

Great playground, easy parking. But no trash cans.

Great field went to watch my niece play softball it was a lot of fun.

Beautiful view is well maintained

Its a beautiful Park I recommended for any picnic

Lots of opportunities for family fun

Sea view. Good to walk about.

We enjoyed the path that goes along the bay

Great place to sled

An all around great park for all ages. Playground for toddlers, tennis, basketball, softball, etc. Easy parking and easy access to the Back Cove 3.5 mile trail loop.

Payson park is a Portland classic. Bring your DEET in the summer.

Nice quite and great place to walk around and enjoy the senary

All around great public space.

Very flexible and usable 4 season Park.

A nice place to relax and have a picnic

Super cool and off the beaten path. Drop the old lady at the gift shop then drop the boat.

If only cars wouldnt park at the end of the snowboarding hill so we could throw our disc golf discs. Gahhh

Lots to do at this great venue.

Great place to take the family and your dog.

Wonderful fenced in playground with small splash pad. Little hills and big rocks make even the parts without equipment exciting. Cute story walk right outside.

Nice place to have lunch

Beautiful little park by the water, lots of activity areas and well kept grass. Will upload photos next time Im out there.

Fun and safe for children

Beautiful place, great walking trail

This park is the backyard paradise. Walk, run, bike and watch the city show off its scapes with a nice Blue foreground during the Sunset!

Incredibly peaceful, nice place to sit and talk with someone, plenty of space so you can be alone and not bothered by anyone. Right near the ocean, and its very quiet.

Not a bad little park.

Not too bad

Ok park pathetic arboretum..no labels...I ordered an arboretum. Portlands is an embarassment! SF Hall of Flowers..now thats more like it!

My little ones love it here! I love that there is both a playground and a splashpad both in one area, along with plenty of grassy area to picnic, lay out in the sun, jog/run or walk, etc. Theres a story walk that has pages to a kids book along a path to walk and read along the way. They also have a baseball field, basketball nets and free parking both in the park and along the baxter boulevard side. We come here pretty often in the summer for the splash pad/playgroup and also to sled in the winter. Great place to have a family get-together or some alone time:)

Cute park for kids, basketball players, bird watchers and every one!

I remember it as a child that was not much had to do for playgrounds everything but now they have an amazing play area for the kids and out doing a lot of upgrades in the area

It was very kids friendly and its nice to go there in a summer day because they have a water spring that kids can play with by the touch of a button

Walked for Take Steps Maine Crohns and Colitis Foundation so beautiful! Explores woods, paths, marshland, highway, water ways and its in the middle of the city so cool !

Dont waste your time at the arboretum. Trees are not very healthy and 90% are not tagged/named.

Had fun. Big. Open.

Nice park

Good place to hangout and walk around.

Something for everyone

Sundays the city shuts the boulevard off to vehicles so familys bikers, walkers, runners, and skaters have full access around back Bay! Its a great place to bring kids and get exercise

Its beautiful place for relax and have a good moment

Great park for sledding and snowboarding with the kids in the winter. They even set up a small snowboarding park.

Beautiful peaceful great views

Very nice place to clear your day .

Huge park. Plenty of free parking. Great place for walking, jogging, playing frisbee, picnics, etc. Great for kids and dog walking.

Nice place to play basketball or tennis. There are open fields for flying kites as well since there is usually a nice breeze.

Great place to take your kids there to play, even for adults there is basketball courts also a tennis court

A Great place to park and walk on Baxter Blvd. Tennis Courts, baseball and softball fields as well..

Beautiful area with views of Portland

Nice hills, but needed a little more snow.

A fairly safe place where your kids can play and get some energy out. There are many aspects to the park: Playground, baseball, basketball, open fields, and other areas that i have not explored. My daughter was injured there twice, and my son (accident prone) has been hurt once while visiting. There are swings, a mini-water park area, knolls, half buried rocks to hop to/fro, a pretty good-sized play area for thosr who are looking for twisty slides and other mildly challenging obstacles for toddlers and younger children.

A nice place to play tennis at.

Nice walk

Very family oriented, fun time for kids, nice winter fest!

Lovely view of the water. Nicely maintained. Good amenities.
