Deering Oaks is a large public park in Portland, Maine, stretching across 55 acres just west of the city center. With its tennis courts, ball fields, a playground, and a pond, it’s a favorite local gathering place. The park also hosts a popular farmers' market and has a long history—parts of it date back to the 17th century. Its charming footbridge, shaded paths, and seasonal events make it a spot worth returning to in every season.

Deering Oaks Park is a 22-hectare public park with numerous athletic fields, a playground, and a pond west of downtown Portland. In 1879, the Deering family deeded approximately 20 hectares to the City of Portland for use as a park. The park was designed by William A. Goodwin in a naturalistic style with oak trees. Other features such as a bandstand, a Victorian duck house, a castle, and a playground were later added.
