Read more about this location
Stillwater Park is one of the clearest fits for this directory in the Bangor Area because the City of Bangor explicitly identifies it as an accessible playground. The park sits off Stillwater Avenue between Howard Street and Juniper Street and pairs the playground with open space, a half basketball court, and a sidewalk loop that can make movement around the site easier for families using wheels or strollers. It works best as a straightforward outdoor play stop rather than a full destination park, but it stands out locally for the city's published accessibility designation.
