Village Green is an urban park in Bar Harbor, Maine. Located in the center of the city, it is bounded by Firefly Lane to the north, Main Street to the east, Mount Desert Street to the south and Kennebec Street to the west.
A granite bench, in memory of John Whittington Roberts (1870-1904), sits in the middle of the Main Street side, next to the original cast iron street clock from 1896 (moved to this location in 1905), while a lion fountain is beside the Main Street and Mount Desert entrance. An armed forces monument also stands on the side of Mount Desert, just beyond the fountain.
A bandstand stands near the northern side of the park.
A 17th-century Italian tiered fountain with 21 spigots, donated by John Callendar Livingston in 1909, stands in the southwest corner of the park. It was restored in 1992 by sculptor Clark Fitz-Gerald after being inactive for thirty years.
