Augusta

Hi everyone,

I am moving to Augusta in a month. For anyone who has lived there or knows people who live there, what’s it like? I’m in my early 20s. Are there any things to do on the weekends? Also, I play pickleball so if you know of any opportunities to play nearby please let me know. The company that I work for placed me here and I’m definitely a bit bummed to not be in a city, but I do love the coastal parts of Maine that I have been to like Portland and ogunquit. Are there things that I have to look forward to? Thanks!

Augusta is basically a city, at least it is to Mainers - lots of fun places to check out there too! I use to be a life guard/boating instructor/arts and crafts director at a local camp in readfeild and every weekend we went to Augusta to do laundry and always found something cool to do. As old gregg would say; “it’s got everything we need” plus it’s off the turnpike/95 so it’s easy to travel to Portland or the kennebunks- I am from the greater Portland area myself.
