Description

Right on the banks of the Portland Harbor are the Eastern Promenade and Fort Allen Park; the park is located towards the southeast corner of the Eastern Prom, off Fore Street. Being right off the harbor affords both stunning views, but the local draw is the recreation--there are tennis and basketball courts, baseball fields, as well as multi-use biking/running/walking trails that snake alongside the coast. Victorian-inspired homes line the Eastern Prom, but the really picturesque view is of the boats that stream into the Portland Harbor. You cannot go wrong by taking a little stroll along the Eastern Promenade.
