Traffic Alert in Payson Park: This Thursday, September 10th and Friday September 11th, a crew will restripe Arboretum Road and Catafalque Drive to add bicycle lanes.

This work will require temporarily closing Arboretum Road for part of the day. Please follow detour signs and seek an alternative route during the road closure in Payson Park.

The Parks, Recreation and Facilities Department appreciates your understanding while we make these improvements in the park.

🌱 Grow Wild Portland is here!

What if we reimagined our small outdoor spaces as habitat for pollinators, wildlife, and native plants?

You don’t need a big yard to make a difference. Grow Wild is all about starting small: transforming grassy strips, garden corners, window boxes, planters, and other outdoor small spaces into native habitat.

Join the Grow Wild community to get:
🌱 Native planting tips & guides
🌿 Free seasonal resources, including native seeds, wood chips, and lawn signs
🐝 Workshops & events

Join the Grow Wild mailing list via the link in our bio to get Starter Kit updates, planting resources, and more: portlandmaine.gov/GrowWild

Let’s restore Portland’s native habitat, one small space at a time!
