A new waterfront park is coming to Portland!

This morning, we joined the City of Portland, partners, and community members to break ground on a new public greenspace along the eastern waterfront, currently referred to as Portland Harbor Common.

After more than five years of planning and fundraising, this 3.5-acre site will transform from a former parking area into a vibrant space with trails, trees, and room for community gatherings.

First envisioned by the late Richard “Dick” Barringer, whose legacy continues to guide this work, we heard remarks from his wife, Martha Freeman, along with Director of Parks, Recreation & Facilities Ethan Hipple, Mayor Mark Dion, and our Executive Director Jack Phillips, all paying respect to Dick and his lasting impact.

Construction is now underway, with an anticipated opening in fall 2026.
