There are no public amenities at this park so the closet public restroom is either down at the library or the nearby Safeway. I'd give the park a 5 but since it's so close to 3 high schools it can get an immature crowd building up around the afternoon most times the he kids are cool, but like every barrel theirs always one bad apple to be found. So if teenagers aren't your thing head a little farther down toward Chief park...

Also dangerous cliff warnings on the trails. The park is cute and fun for kids. There's a field for throwing football or soccer or picnic. Nice view of the river.

Love this park because the trails are accessible for those of us with mobility issues. With my…read morecane, I was able to make my way through the gravel and the dirt trails easily and take in the beautiful wildflowers of spring. In April, the prairie area is filled with deep blue camas, and a few white ones sprinkled in. In mass, they paint the prairie blue. Up close, you can see the intricate detail, petals in shades of blue and even purple, with bright yellow eyes in each flower. They are one of my faves! As you leave the sunny prairie, you are instantly in a shady patch of forest and feel far away from the city, even though you are not. Birds chirping is nature's music as you wander the various loops and check out wildflowers nestled under the trees. I spotted Star of Bethlehem, Wild Geranium, Saskatoon, False Solomon's Seal, Field Sorrel, Prairie Mallow, Woodland Violet, and some common daisy. There are benches along the way if you need a rest or just want to stop and breath in the luxury of being in this little magical place. Along the north side, there are views of the Williamette River. In addition to the trails which are off to the right, there is a playground with a basketball court, swings, slides and play gym, all of which were in use this weekday. There is also a decent bathroom, which is very much appreciated. This park is at the end of a neighborhood where the streets are narrow. As you navigate up through the hills, be aware that children are playing. Before the park there is a dirt area for cars and if you go just a little further, a small paved parking area for about 8 cars with one designated handicap spot. This is a fabulous neighborhood park that welcomes visitors like me. April is the perfect time to visit if you want to see the beautiful fields of camas.

It was well maintained and clean. It also had a Pokéstop and gym which were benefits for me. The only reason it did not get 5 stars, is because there were no restrooms available. This causes a problem for potty trained toddlers when they have to go.

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.

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.

When people think of West Linn, I suspect they imagine it is all McMansions and strip malls. But my…read morecity is actually a diverse set of neighborhoods with distinct personalities filled with parks and crisscrossed by rivers. Some sections are historic, others examples of modern luxury (gated communities and all), but there are many neighborhoods filled with modest homes. Sunset Park is nestled in that part of town. And while newer parks like Tanner Creek have installed the latest equipment and amenities and have manicured lawns, Sunset Park is just your average community park in a natural setting. This 5-acre park is filled with old growth trees so there is plenty of shade and grassy areas to bring your dog for a game of catch. The play structure is small, partially shaded, and geared toward children six and under. They've also kept some of the old fashioned slides and swings which for some reason always make me a little nervous. There is a small water feature with jets that spray water up in an arch, but isn't terribly exciting for children. There is one tennis court, but it is alongside two basketball hoops, so I'm sure there is plenty of "oops, sorry" when both are in use. All the basics are covered, but no bells or whistles.

Pros: Sunset Park is not the most beautiful park, but it's actually pretty nice with large mature trees, a medium sized play area for kids (with slides, swings, play structure, etc.) and a picnic shelter. Cons: a lot of owners will bring their dogs there (including me), but some will not pick up their dog droppings. Ew. That's just wrong, people! Clean up after your dogs!
