The Footbridge by Sam
The Belfast Harbor footbridge was originally built in 1923 to carry horses, cars and people unite Belfast and East Belfast. It was bypassed in the 1960’s by the current elevated Route 1 bridge. Due to its age and deterioration, the footbridge was completely re-built in 2006 by a group of concerned Belfast residents. It provides people with a quiet walk across the bay and a place for good fishing of mackerel and striped bass.
Heritage Park by Sam
Heritage Park is a great place to watch the boats come into the harbor or for watching shore birds ea mussels on a rock. It’ also a great spot to have a picnic; read a book; collect seashells, driftwood and sea glass. Music festivals are held here weekly during the summertime months.
The Eric Overlock Memorial Skate Park is a few steps from downtown Belfast. It has a 5 foot box jump, a big 12 foot half pipe and a bunch of quarters of all different sizes.
The City of Belfast is a secret paradise for boaters. Not only does the City offer a very friendly Maine community atmosphere, for a boater, it is heaven. Everything you need, or need to do, (see list of services) right down to the Customs Office, is within walking distance. City of Belfast
