Riverton Trolley Park 2
miles
In 1896 Riverton Trolley Park welcomed
throngs of people from the city who paid
five cents to take the trolley from Portland
. The park featured an outdoor amphitheater,
croquet court, boat rides, a trout pond,
a “casino” building by John Calvin Stevens,
and scenic pathways. While little remains
of its previous glory, the park is still
a beautiful place for a walk.
This short loop trail winds through a
densely wooded area, by river frontage
and an open field. The trail connects with
Riverside Golf Course for cross-country
skiing in winter.
Trail access:
Parking is available on Riverside Street next to the ball field.
