Reviews of Deering Oaks

Mimi Reeder

What a wonderful playground. We love coming here when the weather is nice on Saturdays as they have a Farmers Market. The lake with the geese is so calming and just an enjoyable view. The only thing that could be disturbing is the homeless people who hang out not so far away and you would see them as you drive by.

Epic park! We saw the playground on our way into Portland so we decided to check it out. It is a little bit confusing to get in, but there is a lot of parking. The playground is very cool. It has 3 zip lines and one of them is a seat with a restraint. It has a really tall rope climbing structure, which was very fun. There is also an accessible playground structure with slides, but it also has great climbing features that we don’t see often. There are swings and an embankment slide. Interestingly, there is also a rock garden sort of thing. We went further into the park and saw a giant pine cone made out of shovels! From there we went to the splash pad/wading pool. It was not open yet and I’m not sure if it is opening in a few weeks. There is also a bridge next to it. There is also a decorative pond with a miniature house in the center. There were bathrooms, but the only ones we saw were port-a-potties that were not in great condition. Overall it’s a really nice park and has a lot to offer. I would definitely go again!

Very easy to find not much parking. Plenty of things to do dog friendly there is softball fields basketball courts beach volleyball football field tennis courts playgrounds a little restaurant called queens castle ice-skating in the winter plenty of things to do nice huge park right off Interstate 295 Please follow me Be careful of drug use I found plenty of left over needles from drug users the park should be cleaned up and supervised better

Karen DeFeo

Stopped here on the to kill an hour with our ten YO before the Sea dogs game. Nice park, everything in working order. Great zip lines with button seats. Nice climbing rope structure. She really enjoyed the park area.

Sunshine. Tall trees. Wide open space and cool sculptures -- a pine cone made of shovels. A great place to go for some fresh air.

Mrs Tiffany Alexandra Shain

On the other side of this bridge in the center of the park, there’s totally a little splash and play water area for youngins.. or maybe an adult who needs a quick splash. It’s a really beautiful park. I chose the location for my landscape out of anywhere else in Portland. Don’t worry, the pond goddess only comes out at nightX 🤣💚🙏 p.s. beware of the goose poopies by the fountain area edges.

beautiful place. good for walks. flower garden, benches, duckies. be safe however.

I previously didn’t support monarchies but the way this country is going, I’ll really take any other option. Especially if the ruling class is going to provide this much natural beauty in a small to medium sized metropolitan area (this is a castle in a public park)

Tina P

From the pond, to the Castle, to the benches and the farmers market. Basket ball courts, baseball field and tennis courts I love this place.

hunter dean

It's alright, unfortunately this beautiful park has become overrun with a plethora of needles. Still a breathing beautiful park though. I was forced to do team building and related activities here. That's not the parks fault though. But what was the parks fault is that the fountains have been dry for quite some time now. Mixed feelings but i like it

Farmer's Market on Saturday - great! Beautiful park - great! Homeless people in the park - not so great. These people do need someplace to just be. Is there no day shelter for them here?

Henry Quinn

A lovely old park hemmed in by a highway and cut in two by an arterial. Cars are the freaking worst, but this park is still pretty nice. Farmers market Saturdays and seasonal splashing for kiddos and skating.

Sharon “Sunspirit” Hupe'

Incredibly clean. A large assortment of engaging activities. A lovely place for children to explore and be outdoors.

Cedric Fredrickson

It depends on where you go and when. The farmer's market is brilliant, the kiddie pool is a good spot for kids on hot days. You may get a visit from some Canadian geese, who will gladly eat peas if you have any (please no bread, it befouls the pond).

Jackson Bickford

An absolutely beautiful big park with many activities. I had a blast there with my gf.

William Lee

Nice park to walk dogs, relax and enjoy the fresh air.

Joseph Middleton

A nice green space in Portland. Has a lot of promise to it and, perhaps, needs a little more attention. The park has a nice path and pond. It is, however, fairly littered across its paths. Certain parts of the park have a significant homeless population. While I wouldn't frequent this park after dark, in my trip to Portland, it was a nice place to sit in the morning with a coffee and donut and watch people walk their dogs.

Alden Poole

I love going here with my daughter. They've got a great splash pad for kids in the summer months. The farmer's market is great too.

jonathan Walsh

Amazing place to sight see take photos and take in the wild geese and ducks while they come sit on your lap and wait to be fed.

Josh Lindgren

This park has wide open spaces, sunshine, trees, trails, a kids park, recreational courts for adults, and a is a great place to enjoy nature. I'm a fan on the water features and small bridges. Portland does a great job at maintaining this public space and I love the weekend markets.

Nick Leathers

Very good place to get some exercise and the kids can play at the playground

Husain Ibrahaim

Very good for walking and taking pictures. Recommended for kids. Playground is maintained and looks new.

Lane Drey

Beautiful Park all my pictures are on my other phone sorry I cannot share them I'll have to do another posting on the other device

Paula Voltz

Farmer's Mrkt in the park...fewer vendors this time of year but always a nice experience..

Ronda Lee

I'm getting married at the rose garden Sept.12,130pm, The park is a beautiful place to visit!

Christopher “Just do it” Julian

Great place to bring your family to have a nice quiet and relaxing day. The zip lines are very fun and the park is also good size so you don't have to worry about over crowding. I really enjoyed it and so didn't my little ones. 💯🤘👍👍 …

Robert Kinkley

Nice park with walking paths, a water feature, and interesting art pieces scattered about. Got there just after the farmer's market packed up, but Salvage BBQ is a short walk away, and we picked up some Holy Donuts and coffee on our way back to enjoy on a park bench.

Nate Gross

This park is really beautiful and is a part of Portland's heritage. Top notch play area for kids. Ball fields and basketball courts.

Angie Boehler

Love it. But parts can be skeeve n' sketch.

Mike Frisco

Nice park for the city. Full of homeless people. The city needs to get places to live for these people. No one should be homless.. very sad!!!!

Oby Sumampouw

Nice park with lots of ducks.

Jaclyn Renee Walsh

I couldn't ask for a nicer view in Portland to live then across from the park. It is GORGEOUS when the pond is full in the summer months and also has a beautiful fountain in it that lights up multi colors at night in the summer as well! The only thing to worry about here, although so far since September i haven't had any major incidents, you should always be aware of your surroundings to avoid the unfortunate amount of homeless population that hang out throughout the park but more closer to the post office side then headed towards St. John's street. Expect to be asked for cigarettes and/or funds and beware of discarded hypodermic needles in the area also but enjoy the scene when it's peaceful and quiet very early in the morning is the best time to visit, in my opinion but please visit and tell us about it also!

Jeffrey Pope

A great place to take the kids. A fantastic gem-of-a-park and totally worthwhile.

Ayon Ibrahim

Very nice park!

Priscilla Almodovar

This park is gorgeous when you walk in the summer the breeze always makes you feel calm and relaxed no matter what the day brings you this park is the place to be especially in the summer the most of water really makes you feel amazing great job city of Portland this park is the best and will always be gorgeous!

Ryo Shigemitsu

Gorgeous

Niko Mirage

I have always loved the park, especially in fall when leaves dwindle on trees but multiply on the ground. I just wish there were more trash cans and that they were emptied regularly rather than being left to overflow. Great job having safe needle disposal sites throughout the park, though, because it definitely keeps the majority of them OFF the ground and away from dangerous situations.

nice, well kept park with historic oak trees, pond basketball and tennis courts

Cameron Dehais

Lovely place to take a stroll through and take in the atmosphere

Elaina Dorsey

Love the park! Lots of geese, ducks,and squirrels to feed and watch.

Lesley Jones

Lots to do: good place to run the kids, play tennis, enjoy the Farmers Markey seasonally, walk the dog and swing, jump or climb. City does a great job with our own little Central Park.

Jessi Polchies

We've been going to the park before we even moved to Portland and it's always been great. Unfortunately we always have had to keep our eyes open for "sharps". The last few months have been worse because of the homeless being forced into the area. For the most part its been pretty clean aside from the goose poo and occasional debris. Everyone was respectful and had masks on. We all tried to talk to the kids about distancing but they're kids. My children LOVE it! Best suggestion, do a once over for anything dangerous, sanitize hands till you get to a sink and avoid porta-potty at all costs.

kenisha pratt

Farmers market is the best in Maine. Delicious

Tina Tremblay

Very clean, lots to do for kids,

Nancy Richards

It's a beautiful park, with the ravine, the pond and the playground. We feel lucky to live close by. But I wish they could keep it cleaner.

Seeweed

Just like being home! You guys are doing a great job keeping the porto potties clean👍🏼 …

Robert rodriquez

Deering oaks is a beautiful park. It's unfortunate that it has been overrun with homeless people. Trash is being left, along with drug paraphinilia. There are still some parts of the park that are safe for family activities

Gerald Averill. Jr

Cloudy day... Animals moving about, Park was very clean, not a lot of people though... Park was busy earlier . Farmers market was there over all very pleasant

Donna Pound

I love the Oaks. I had a friend stop by and we took lunch there. Quiet and benches to rest on.

Farmers market on Saturday mornings Great produce,and organic foods eggs, meat and cheese, and some fine breads Along with it being a great place for family, it also has basketball, baseball tennis

Kelly Barsch

Super fun and well-thought out park with tons of areas to play!! We stayed for hours and went back again the next day!

T Barbieri

Love Deering Oaks. New additions to playground were a hit. Caution, on several occasions have found needle caps so stay aware but don't let it deter you from coming!

Zachary Dalton

The grass is often overgrown in the public use areas but it offers lots of amenities loans volleyball courts, open baseball fields and great basketball courts.

Kevin Zheng
