There are plenty of ways to enjoy the outdoors in Maine. There are a number of trails, campground and even more secret places that are perfect for exploring. But, it takes a bit more to keep kids entertained. While it’s easy to head to a playground, doing that doesn’t offer the same thing in the way of ability to imagine and truly play. So, consider this little spot. It’s lovely, a bit hidden and oh-so-much-fun for kids of all ages.
Kids love to explore and one of the best ways to let their imaginations run wild is at Fort Williams Park in Cape Elizabeth.
