Welcome to the Riverton Trolley Park
Riverton Trolley Park was established in 1896. At the turn of the century, the
Park was one of Portland's premier attractions. It was established in 1896 and
operated until 1929. The park, which was served by a trolley that departed
from Monument Square, contained a casino, an amphitheater, dance hall and a
wildlife petting zoo.
People came to enjoy leisurely strolls through the woods,
quiet boat rides on the Presumscot River, concerts at the bandstand, croquet
games on the spacious lawns, picnics in the rustic woodlands and vaudeville
shows at the open air theater.
In 1997 a group organized and became known as the Friends of Riverton
Trolley Park. The group meets monthly and shares memorabilia from the park.
They have organized park cleanup events and historical guided tours of the
area.
