The place

About Schouler Park

Schouler Park is the public green immediately adjacent to Conway Scenic Railroad in North Conway Village. The Town of Conway identifies the roughly three-acre property as a multipurpose field and community-event space.

The park has hosted field sports, outdoor festivals, and seasonal skating. Town planning material identifies public parking and seasonal portable toilets, but these are not equivalent to guaranteed event-day capacity or year-round restrooms.

Its main train-trip value is simplicity: families can step into open space without driving, while downtown food and shops remain nearby. Keep the railway’s boarding time in view and do not treat park parking as reserved railroad parking.

What stands out

Directly beside the train

No additional drive is needed, and the station remains visible from the village center.

Family decompression

Open lawn can break up a long seated ride for children and multigenerational groups.

Village connection

The park bridges the station to independent downtown food, coffee, museums, and shops.

Pair it with the train

Why it belongs in a Conway Scenic Railroad trip

The park directly borders the station, making it the easiest place for fresh air before a later departure or after the Valley Train. Return to the platform well before boarding.
