Clark Pond is a freshwater pond in South Portland, Maine, United States. Located near The Maine Mall, it has given its name to Clarks (sic) Pond Parkway, which connects Gorham Road in the north to John Roberts Road in the south, and to the Clarks Pond shopping plaza.
The pond, which contains a small island,[1] is fed by Long Creek from the west. It empties out, on the pond's eastern side, eventually leading to the Fore River, about a mile to the northeast. Westbrook Street crosses Long Creek as it leaves Clark Pond to the east.
The pond was historically used for recreational activities, as well as ice-production between the 1930s and 1950s.[1][2]
