    The open spaces are way cool...
    Mark S.

    Huge park, huge trees, big open spaces... very beautiful. Picnic areas, ball fields, soccer fields, basketball, outdoor stage, gardening... but the wide open spaces are really what set this park apart! Walker Stadium, one of the baseball fields at the park, has been updated. The Portland Pickles have arrived! The games are huge! This cool park includes: accessible picnic area, accessible play area, accessible restroom, baseball field, basketball court, dog off-leash area, football field, horseshoe pit, paths - paved, paths - unpaved, picnic site - reservable, picnic tables, playground, soccer field, softball field, stage - outdoor, tennis court. Enjoy!

    I've only been to the park a couple times. This is mostly because I only have two reasons to seek out a park. One is for a casual walk amongst some greenery and two is to take my dog to an off-leash area. Lents Park is about 4 houses down the street, so I would love for it to cover those two needs, but it falls short on both accounts. The walking path basically follows the outside perimeter of the park. This stops you from escaping the sounds and smells of the cars zipping by at 35-40 mph. You might as well walk on the sidewalk and avoid the chance of a soccer ball strike. And the path rarely encounters any landscaping worth looking at. The off-leash area is almost useless. It seems to be a park planner's after thought, done with no budget There is no real marking as to where it starts or stops, has nothing to facilitate poop disposal and is not fenced in. The latter point being the most important to me. The off-leash area is located in the south-western most corner of the park. This means there is the real danger of a dog running out into the road and getting hit. When I take my dog to the park, I want to be able to let him run around, without worry, with a nice shady place to sit and watch my pooch exhaust himself. What Lents Park isn't, is a park. It's a sports complex. Like I said before, I would love for this to be the park of choice for my needs since it is so close. But, it is not.

    Mount Tabor Park was long, long , long on my list for places to visit in Portland. After a recent…read moretrip to Portland we timed it where we could go here one morning and enjoy the scenery. We were not disappointed in the slightest! Most of the park is up on a hill which if I recall correctly is an extinct volcano. The reservoirs are very cool to look at and walk around at. We went to three of them and I believe that is the total number that aren't decommissioned but there once was five reservoirs here but two are decommissioned. The reservoirs were once used for drinking water but now serve primarily as a scenic and historic feature which it most certainly is! There is all kinds of paths you can walk around in and even minor hikes of a urban sort if you want to look at it that way as if you want you can walk uphill for quite a while. If you roam around the park you can see beautiful views of downtown Portland which is very enjoyable to see. I definitely recommend visiting this park and it has the appeal where it will attract tourists and locals alike as it is just that kind of a special place!

    I went here for a short hike after my last day of work in Portland, and found it delightful. It is…read morea park nestled on the ancient, extinct cinder cone, in a well-to-do neighborhood.

Plus walking paths through several acres of rolling hills with wonderful views immersed in nature. The splash pads are open again (until 7pm) and the kids were certainly joying them. The play structures are both stunning and interactive, even a look-out tower with a telescope that views a constellation ceiling. Very cool. Slides, step rocks, climbing structures, picnic tables in the open and shade, lots of benches, even water bowls for dogs - clearly a lot of thought went into the design and build of Spring Garden Park. It's close to Multnomah Village which is how I discovered it after visiting the food truck area and wanting someplace serene to enjoy my meal. Park right on SW Spring, just be mindful of not blocking the neighbors driveways as it's in a residential area. Close to SW Barbur.

We went on a sunny day and it wasn't over crowded. -1 star for personal reasons: my daughter is young (19 mo) and was able to swing on the baby seat swing, however, she was not confident to try the older play structure. The structure seems more appropriate for 2.5 and older. It has a pretty cool rock climber for older kids. My experience makes me wonder if there are parks in Portland that are more inclusive for all children and their abilities? I hope that Portland Parks and Recreation would be willing to rethink how they can be more inclusive when designing a park. I will be the first to admit I know nothing about building a park, but If I did I would want everyone to feel included.

I tried coming every year to catch the blooms for past 5 years ( I was either too early or too late) but Wow, this year I finally caught the blooms. My heart is filled with Joy! I have a LOVE for Sakura/Cherry Blossoms. Tom McCall Waterfront Park sure brings back wonderful memories when I visited Portland for the first time during my daughter's college day, very beautiful park! Tom McCall Waterfront Park if for Governor Tom McCall is about 36. acres with a view of Williamette River in downtown Portland, bordered by RiverPlace to the south, Steel Bridge to the north. Did you know this park used to be 6-lane highway, activists held picnics on the tiny riverfront walkway in 1969 to protest the lack of public space. Gov. Tom McCall formed a task force, Harbor drive closed in 1974 and the park opened in 1978. Besides annual cherry blossoms this park has trails, salmon street springs, monuments, various festivals, protest, events, are held here. Near by to Portland Saturday market. Parking is very limited, either street parking or private lot. I can't wait to visit Tom McCall Waterfront Park again, with or without cherry blossoms or for Fall, foliage- I hope to catch the blooms again next year! same time, same place, I loved to be back!

It contains a bunch of points of interest: the Battleship…read moreOregon Memorial, Salmon Street Springs, the Japanese American Historical Plaza, etc. It definitely makes the park more interesting, since otherwise it's flat and grassy with not a lot of other features. Amazing for cyclists and joggers though. The views of the river are pretty, and you can spend your lunch break walking around and getting fresh air. Portland's Saturday Market is hosted on the weekends (March until December) on the northern end of the park, right next to the Bill Naito Legacy Fountain. There's also other festivals that use the park as the grounds. I've heard that the cherry blossoms in the spring are very pretty, so I'll have to return for those!
