With the weatherman calling for rain, and my dog in need of a run it was a great day to stroll Riverton Trolley Park where dogs are allowed off leash. Located on the cross streets of 302 and Riverside in Portland it is fun to explore and wander about thinking about the park in it’s glory days, when people came from all over the country to relax, gamble and enjoy the Presumpcott River. Not much is left of the original site, but with a little imagination you can easily take a step back in time.

Charlee says: I ran, I swam, I got muddy and smelled lots of animals.
Nancy says: Except for the entrance, most of the trails are well away from the busy road. Go down the hill and walk along the river. The hike was easy enough for my three year old daughter, but the mud made things a little slippery!
