Tucked between Congress and Franklin Streets in Portland, Lincoln Park is one of the city’s oldest public green spaces. It was laid out shortly after the devastating fire of 1866 and named in honor of Abraham Lincoln. The park’s open lawn, lined with old trees and crisscrossed by walking paths, is enclosed by a wrought-iron fence. A stone fountain marks its center. Though modest in size, the park quietly reflects a chapter of Portland’s rebuilding history.

Lincoln Park is located in downtown Portland, Maine. The park was established in 1866 after a major fire destroyed almost all of the city's houses. In 1989, the park was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
