WELCOME TO
We are an all-volunteer effort to build community and create a welcoming center at Allen's Corner in Portland, Maine!

What We Do

EVENTS & ACTIVITIES

Projects

We are developing the Allen’s Corner Pocket Park near Lib’s Dairy Treats at 32 Auburn Street. We are also planning for the installation of traffic calming to make our streets safer. Click the SIGN UP link below to get involved.

Our Vision

In 2024, Friends of Allen’s Corner adopted a vision and action plan with input from hundreds of people who live, work, or visit in the area. The goals of the plan guide all our efforts. Read the plan.

Thank You for Making Our 2026 Block Party Awesome!

Thank you to everyone who came out on October 18th to play in the street. It was a fun and joyful day – with many new faces along with familiar ones. Big thanks to our musical entertainment Jyllian. Shout out to all the people who shared food and drink, pressed cider, and contributed their time.
