Lincoln Park is a 1.8-acre (0.73 ha) urban park in downtown Portland, Maine. Created as Phoenix Square in 1866, following that year’s Great Fire, which burned down most of the buildings of Portland, it was renamed on January 24, 1867, in honor of former president Abraham Lincoln. It is bounded by Congress Street to the west, Pearl Street to the south, Federal Street to the east and Franklin Street to the north. The park was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
