Taken from the path behind the Hannaford there.

Yes, the scaffolding alone is pretty impressive.

Yeah, that is what the park’s called.

The benches are in disrepair, but the park has a good view down the peninsula, including Portland’s Downtown and Bayside neighborhoods.

Here’s the incredible history of the Bennington obelisk. Amazing!
