Remembering Lincoln Park

We’ve made the slow climb from spring and launched full speed into summer fun. It’s a time for outdoor thrills, outdoor grills, and long, warm evenings spent with friends and loved ones.

For nearly a century, one of the SouthCoast’s biggest and best summer attractions was Lincoln Park, the home of “fun for all the family.” The amusement park, on Route 6 in Dartmouth on the Westport line, featured something for everyone.

How did it all begin? And what led to its closure and decay? Take a look at the history of this once storied park, right here.
