Another amazing day walking around in Baxter Woods!! Lots of people out with their dogs today. Can you tell I Lve Tree's!!!!
I love this place. It’s close to home, so I can take our dog here after work sometimes.
Absolutely love it here! Great place to go and be one with nature! Bring your pets lol.
An amazing jewel of a neighborhood park, feels like your deep in the forest. If you live within walking distance absolutely take the time to walk here
Pretty maintained woods with native Maine trees. While not a large park, it has lots of trails and is very dog friendly.
Nice park where you wouldn't expect one
It was a great spot to meet neighbors and their dogs. Now they're putting in a bunch of leash laws and other things to limit access so it won't be as positive and inclusive of a community gathering space. Real shame this place used to be an easy six out of five stars.
Such a neat little place in the city to get away from the city with out actually leaving the city. Although wish patrons would be more careful with their trash and not treat this woods poke a dump. Lots of dogs off leash, be careful if your dog doesn't do well with free roaming dogs.
Even though this park has been mistreated by many ,as nothing more than a place for dogs,to be brought solely for the purpose of doing "their business". Within city limits ... It's beauty cannot be denied. How many of you know the history behind this parcel of city- owned land ,& How exactly it came to be,and most- importantly ; remains untouched ; unchanged for the most part - decade.aftet decade? I urge you to do a little research into this for it is worth your time : and certainly will give you a different perspective than simply a place in Portland that's pet- friemdly...I'm a dog-lover, as many are reading this...It is my hope that perhaps.this parcels origins ,& story not be forgotten ,that a few of you may broaden knowledge,& your prospective perhaps by looking back in history . Small it may be : but a beautiul, peaceful sanctuary thats right here, -Located In the midst of our Deering Center neighborhood .Quite a gift ,in a busy city such as Portland is on any given day..
Nice trails to walk through. However it's not the best place for me to bring my 7 month pointer-pit mix. It maybe my fault she isn't better trained on this but she takes off running after squirrels and birds. Takes forever to get her back and I get nervous for her because of the eventual roads she could run into. I need to be clear that this isn't anything against the woods. More of just warning if you're going to bring your high energy puppy. I've seen raccoons there and interesting birds. Very nice time when I am not chasing my dog down. I wish Portland had any fenced in areas for me to bring my dog by the Brighton Ave area so I could work on training and play.
