Peacock Beach State Park is a locally managed, public recreation area on Pleasant Pond in Richmond, Maine.
The park is on U.S. Route 201[1] between the Maine Turnpike (I-95) and I-295, about 12 miles (20 km) south of Augusta.
Prior to 2010, it had been estimated that as few as 10 percent of visitors paid the fee.
The town does not staff the park, aside from conducting regular maintenance with part-time employees.
The collection box for payment of the entry fee has been maintained, but the town has considered staffing the entrance to increase fee collection.
