Capitol Park, Public park in Capitol Complex, Augusta, United States.

Capitol Park is a 20-acre (8.1 ha) rectangular park on the west bank of the Kennebec River in Augusta, bounded by Capitol, State and Union Streets. Its ground rises from the river to State Street, which separates it from the Maine State House; a former railroad right-of-way runs between the park and the water.

The park was established in 1827 as a parade ground and later served military purposes during the Civil War. It underwent a major redesign in the 1920s that gave it the form visitors see today.

The Olmsted Brothers designed this space with formal pathways and gathering areas that encourage people to stop and socialize. The layout shapes how visitors move through and experience the grounds today.

The park is bounded by Capitol, State and Union Streets, with State Street separating it from the Maine State House grounds. The ground rises from the Kennebec River up to State Street, and a former railroad right-of-way lies between the park and the riverbank. The 1842 granite monument to Governor Enoch Lincoln stands near the eastern edge.

The granite monument to Governor Enoch Lincoln, installed near the park's eastern edge in 1842, is easy to walk past. Lincoln, Maine's governor from 1827 to 1829, is also remembered in the name of the town of Lincoln. The monument predates the Olmsted Brothers' 1920s redesign.
