New mobility pathway makes Popham Beach more accessible for all

TIMES RECORD • August 25, 2022

Popham Beach State Park unveiled new accessibility upgrades Thursday at an event marked by Gov. Janet Mills, park officials, local representatives and locals. The park now has a 350-foot, blue pathway made of recycled plastic and polyester that runs down the beach. As part of Mills’ Maine Jobs and Recovery Plan, she announced in June that $50 million would be dedicated to improving Maine’s state parks.
