Lincoln Park sits along the Ottawa River in the south of downtown Lima and combines green space with a small railway heritage exhibit. The centrepiece is Nickel Plate 779, the last steam locomotive built by Lima Locomotive Works, delivered in May 1949 and now preserved on display alongside information about the plant's history.
The park has walking and cycling trails along the Ottawa River, picnic areas, and enough open space to make it a useful stop for anyone who wants a break from downtown. The combination of the locomotive display and riverside greenery makes it a pleasant half-hour detour, especially for families. The Ottawa River trail system extends beyond the park into the wider city.
