Raymond Veterans Memorial Park is a scenic, pet-friendly destination located right off Roosevelt Trail in Raymond, Maine. Overlooking Sebago Lake, this park is known for its natural beauty, tranquil lakeside views, and history. The park features numerous picnic tables (some covered), BBQ grills, porta-potty restrooms, and easy access for kayaking and fishing. While not a traditional fenced-in dog park, it is a popular spot for dog lovers and their pets to walk, play, and relax in nature. There is ample grassy space for on-leash walks and dog-friendly enjoyment around Panther Run, where waterfowl and birds are frequently observed.
The park is clean and generally well-maintained, though occasional goose and dog waste have been noted. With multiple individual picnic spots—some offering shade and shelter—plus convenient off-street parking, this location is ideal for both short breaks and longer outings with your furry friend. Its peaceful surroundings and proximity to Sebago Lake make Raymond Veterans Memorial Park stand out as a relaxing, dog-friendly getaway in the heart of Raymond, Maine.
Great place to fish And or just hang out. Tid bit of history here too.
Such a conveniently and beautifully located rest stop, with lakeside views. Facilities are: porta potty, parking off the main route, individual picnic tables under shelters, BBQ grill, put in availability for kayaks, fishing from shore.
Nice broad vegetation buffer in most places – birds and insects and waterfowl visit too.
The memorial is well maintained and pristine, with one notable exception – goose and dog poop all over the lawn. Not a pleasant place to walk!
A beautiful little mini-rest stop at the intersection with RTE 85. Nice “woodsy” picnic spots and a series of beautiful coves to watch as Panther Run empties into Sebago Lake.
No disrespect meant toward veterans, but it was a nicer place when it was a just a nice little spot to enjoy nature.
This is a great place to launch your kayak! You could go up panther run or go out on Lake Sebago
This is a very nice test stop of of Route 302 in Raymond. There is a Porta Potty, and at least six picnic tables, several of which have a structure over them. And, there is one outdoor grill.
