Just off Route 1, tucked beneath the Casco Bay Bridge, lies a peaceful 1.5-acre patch of green called Thomas Knight Park.It’s the kind of place you might miss if you’re not looking—but it’s worth the detour.

Once the landing spot for the old Million Dollar Bridge, this park now offers a front-row seat to Portland’s skyline across the Fore River.There’s a public dock, a few benches, and a pedestrian ramp that connects directly to the bridge—perfect for walkers and cyclists heading into the city.

It’s not flashy, but that’s the charm.You’ll find locals fishing, sipping coffee, or just watching the tide roll in.The park also connects with the Greenbelt Walkway, making it a great stop on a longer stroll or bike ride.

If you’re cruising Route 1 and need a quiet moment, this little park delivers.Bring a sandwich, take in the view, and enjoy a slice of Maine calm.
