Brewer is starting construction on a new park and river trail in 2026, the city announced Thursday. The new park will be named Pier Park and will be on North Main Street on 4.2 acres owned by the Brewer Land Trust. The plot is attached to the old dam on the Penobscot River. The city announced the park and trail after receiving a $250,000 Maine Trails grant from the state, which will fund the first of multiple phases. The park will add a green space to north Brewer and extend river access and trails.
