The trail is beautiful, and easy for anyone (except a wheelchair, sorry) I have a bad knee with limited mobility, and this was doable for me! I'm so glad we made it out there today. The waterfall was at full force, and was so gorgeous. The little landing area at the bottom was full of downed trees, but the kids were having so much fun climbing and navigating. There were people flitting about in every which way, miniaturized by the big waterfall. The bridge was washed out, looking to be repaired, so I think one access from the loop was cut off. But people were navigating over the downed trees and on rocks. Nobody seemed to care. It was a blast! HIGHLY recommend this trail.

Just an FYI there is an overweight boomer woman who has a small white dog who was at the park yesterday giving people hell for having their dog off leash. She picked up her dog and as her dog was wagging its tail and clearly wanted to get down and play began, she began a slue of micro aggressions about how her dog was "reacting" and she was having "panic attack" lady, don't bring your dog here if you can't be around other dogs. Also, this park is only "on leash" for the first 100 feet and then dogs are allowed off leash. She is a miserable, mean and nasty boomer who needs to chill and stay away from Clifford park with that attitude. Her dog was cute though but I feel bad for it.

There are lots of children for yours to make friends with, shallow waters, and a sandy beach with no debris.

You can take nice long walks at low tide or play in the waves at high tide. However, it cannot be a full high tide as there is no beach area to sit but give it a few hrs & the sand reappears and you can swim or walk the day away. There is an area of rocks & tide pools that's amazingly peaceful to stroll while checking out the beautiful sea stars, shells and other sea life. It is truly a place of tranquility mostly because it does not get that busy in the summer.

This particular park is a bit deceiving in that the name two lights might make you think you are going to see 2 lights, there is only one on the mainland, and the other is 17 miles out to sea. But who really cares when the park gives you the amazing views that it does! The trails wind on the upper cliffs of the shoreline and provide an awesome view of Casco Bay and the ocean. Along the walking trails are benches and picnic tables where you can take pause and be at one with the ocean. The views of the crashing waves and the rocky shoreline are amazing!

Wide open spaces…read more Memorial Park is a cool park nestled in between the ocean and the Libby Library. Definitely not a bad location for a park, this one just seems small at first but just keeps going. All kinds of things in the park, tennis courts, basketball courts, a nice gazebo, a memorial for veterans and even a nice little lighthouse model at the main entrance. Gentle, rolling hills makes Memorial Park a great place for a gentle walk in your bare feet. During the summer there is a Summer Concert Series of music as well as other events and activities. This is a very popular park and you see all kinds of people during all kinds of things. Some playing sports, other strumming on musical instruments and some just laying on the grass catching the sea breezes. In the winter people even use the park for cross country skiing, snow shoeing and some sledding for the little kids on the small hills. A very nice park in an extremely nice location.

When entering, the first thing you see on the left is an older, semi-homemade looking skate park. Not concrete, but plywood. Driving further, on the left is a teen center. The building and painted sign feels very "summer campy" to me. Not a bad thing, as I LOVED going to summer camps as a teen (spent my summers at them from age 9-15!) As the road bends to the right, there's a dog park on the left, a larger penned in area for large dogs and a smaller penned in area for small dogs. Even though we had dogs with us, we didn't stop. We continued on a bit of a stretch, lovely, really! And it appears several ball fields are used by the city for school or community sports. We were hoping to drive closer to the river, as my companion had an injury and couldn't walk. We sat in the dirt parking lot chatting, looking at the trees. We were both amazed at HOW MANY vehicles came and went while we were there! There were Port-o-potties nearby, and they were used by several folks in vehicles, walkers, dogs and a team of HS cross country runners that came by. I'm definitely coming back here again, to explore the grassy and beach area and walk my dogs!
