The adjacent ninety acre Fort Williams Park offers picnic facilities, hiking opportunities, sports and recreation areas, historic structures, and unlimited ocean views.

Fort Williams Park—90 acres of rugged beauty on Casco Bay—is owned and operated by the Town of Cape Elizabeth. Here you can visit the iconic Portland Head Light and Museum, relish awe-inspiring ocean views, wander diverse natural environments, play on recreational sites, and discover ruins from a long maritime and military history. The Friends of Fort Williams Park, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, preserves and enhances the natural resources and visitor experience of Fort Williams Park by providing planning and stewardship for projects that support the Park’s ecology, accessibility, and open space.

Just twenty minutes from Portland, adjacent state parks offer magnificent views of the Maine coast and provide many recreational opportunities. The mile-long sandy crescent-shaped beach is perfect for a stroll, swim, and sun bathe. At the western end of Crescent Beach State Park, one can explore a rocky area for small sea creatures or find a trail that takes the hiker through a meadow that continues offering fantastic views of the water, an old apple orchard, and nearby Richmond Island. This short trail will lead to an old fire road that meanders through the woods and ends on the entrance road to the park.

The 71 acre parcel that is Winnick Woods was donated to the town of Cape Elizabeth by Alice Larrea In the 1990s for preservation in memory of her family, the Winnicks. The trailhead, with an eight space gravel parking lot and kiosk, is located on Sawyer Road. These trails are popular jogging and nature observation trails, with residents enjoying access to Cross Hill Trails, Dyer Hutchinson Trail conservation easement (owned by the Cape Elizabeth Land Trust), Leighton Farms Trails, and has planned connections into the Eastman Meadows trails and future open space.

The Great Pond Trail is named after its most prominent feature, Great Pond, a 40-acre freshwater pond home to a wide variety of aquatic and terrestrial wildlife. In summer, many Cape residents use the pond for boating, fishing, and bird watching; in winter, skating and ice fishing on Great Pond are popular pastimes.
