Dog Parks provide both recreational and social opportunities for dog owners of all ages, especially for families and the elderly. In addition, they are fast becoming an amenity sought after by potential future residents, as well as being very useful to visitors and tourists to the Katahdin region. Friends of Katahdin Area Dog Park is a recently formed group of citizens working toward this goal.

Outdoor Antique Flea Markets are popular on the coast of Maine in the spring, summer and fall. They are usually located right off of Route 1. Why not designate a Flea Market space for the tri-town area in a high-traffic location. People could sell there for a weekend, get rid of some unwanted items from their house and put a little extra money in their pocket, or others might be able to do something more permanent and turn it into a little antique business.
