The South Waterfront has fixed that issue by offering raised planter boxes filled with organic soil for rent. The rent is due annually. Included in your rental fee is the water, tools and the hauling away of the debris. People plant everything. There are flowers large and small and every kind of vegetable you can think of. Tomatoes especially seem to grow really well because the boxes get a lot of sun. The sunflowers are super happy as well. The other gardeners seem very nice and social, it's a great way to meet other people that live in the area as well. So if you have a hankering to grow something and live in close proximity....check it out!

So today when we grabbed lunch to-go nearby I requested we bring it back to eat amongst the treeeeees. The park is fab...bocce ball courts and volleyball courts, a lovely play area, and picnic tables. Everything looked very well-maintained and clean. And, if you're like me and adore trees, it's just a great place to sit in your car, relax and take them all in while you eat. :)

After deliberating for a few years about getting a spot in the community garden, my sister and I…read morefinally pulled the trigger. And we are so glad we did. The lots are large. There is water at every corner of the lot. And the annual fee is very reasonable. In addition, they have all the mechanical tools you need to prepare and maintain your lot for a small rental charge. You do need to schedule the rental though. And you need to help out at one or more monthly work parties to fulfill an annual work hour requirement but it's no more work than what you would do in your own lot. Like with many a great thing, there is a wait list. But it's worth it, believe me. Not only do you have a great sense of community here, but you can see what others are doing with their spots to get your creativity working. And everyone we've met has been so nice. It's been a wonderful experience. Be warned though, on the weekends you may encounter Remote Control airplanes and helicopters overhead as well as the neighboring athletic fields being used for anything from softball to soccer to frisbee leagues. Work in your garden, bring a chair, an umbrella and a cooler and spend the afternoon talking with your plants. It's guaranteed to de stress your life...oh and having organically grown produce is an added bonus.

Too many reason this community garden sucks. Grass growing through everything and impossible to…read morekeep up with even after mulching for days, and they don't allow installing raised beds which would significantly buffer that, they say because of slugs when I'm actually grass is significantly harder to deal with than slugs. It's called sluggo, works like magic and I didn't have slugs at all. The garden policy here is 4 hrs of work in addition to the $30 fee we are already paying for the plot, which is ridiculous. If you don't work 4 hours during the season they charge you an additional $40. They don't pay attention to people's overgrown stuff that grows into others gardens and don't maintain overgrown paths well, and don't really enforce it when it's a nuisance, aka giant bananas or blackberries or grape vine just growing into your space. It's stupid. And your stuck with whatever comes in that was left from before, aka raspberry and grape vines I was unable to get rid of from the previous gardener of my plot that over grew onto my stuff but now I'm supposed to take care of it because it's on my fence line? Makes no sense if I didn't put them there. Should be the managers job to either remove them or take care of them if they're leaving them there. The manager here isn't really managing anything, they just try to get the gardeners to manage it all, so what am I paying for if I have to now mow/weedwack my paths to use the space properly. And if they do weedwack the paths around your plot they might wack your stakes and bird netting because they're not paying attention. Just one thing after another here. Too many dogs allowed in here and just allowed to bark or whine incessantly bothering gardeners for hours with no consideration for others even after emailing "mgmt" that it's happening. Just tough titty I guess, when they could just easily say no dogs allowed which is how it should be if all they do is sit there and bark. Most people come here to garden in peace. Then you have noise from both drones flying around at the park and race cars at the track. Then there's the water issues during peak summer when it's not working and sometimes shut off for days..its just like what's next?! all in all there's 100 other better gardens to rent that don't have as many issues and aren't as costly. It's not managed well at all.

Since Clarendon middle school closed down in 2006, this site sat unused and sadly neglected. Then,…read morean enterprising group from the 'hood, The Portsmouth Neighborhood Association applied and received an Interstate Urban Renewal Community Livability grant and since last year has been busy transforming the site to a community garden project prevalent in so many urban communities these days. Biggups to the PNA for their ambition and stick-to-it-iveness! One wonders what, if anything this portends for the immediately adjacent Clarendon Park (now it's called Northgate Park. I guess old man Clarendon has fallen completely out of favor). We sure played many a pick-up football game and walked the dogs, played frisbee, and fraternized w/the fairer gender many a time in that park, among other sundry activities. Hopefully this park is safely preserved in "livable" perpetuity as well..

Pros - it's mostly clean and whenever I have been it's been easy in and out. Easy street parking, as there is no other parking option. Cons - don't you DARE think you can do BMX without mudding if it's rained recently. And y'all, it's PDX winter which means it's wet. And it's been a wet one for a full week. So we had A LOT of mud. Thankfully I had a bag of Goodwill donations and I found shoes, and a t-shirt for my son after he completely covered himself in mud. Lol. It's a cute local park, right on Farmington. And the BMX track has a lower level (for less experienced or smaller riders,) and then higher ramps/hills for more experienced riders. We will be back. Hopefully not to mud again!

This review is only for the Tennis facility and classes, even though I know this entire recreation…read morecenter offers a variety of other activities for both children and adults. So for myself, and for health benefits, this past spring and summer I decided to start taking tennis lessons. This was to add a change to my cardio regime. Plus, I haven't played tennis in over ten years. Here's a few information: * General Facilities & Parking Lot * First of all, the campus is fairly huge. And they appear to offer everything from swimming, to tennis obviously, league sports like softball for adults, and soccer/football/lacrosse for kids. They even provide maps for certain walking trails. The parking lot accommodates mainly for the aquatics center and tennis courts. But I've yet to run into an issue with parking close to the tennis facility and softball fields. Plenty of spaces, but I'd say more crowded closer to the aquatic side. Lots of kids taking swim classes. * Babette Horenstein Tennis Center * Did I mention this facility is huge? Yeah, there's a good amount of courts. I believe about twelve in total, maybe more. The cool part is, six are indooor and six are outdoor. The indoor courts are well ventilated for the most part, but can get real hot during the summertime. As for the outdoor courts, they seasonally set up a green tent during the fall and winter, but remove it around springtime and summer. You can reserve a court, but they've got various rates. Primarily depending on your purpose (yes pickleball players are allowed), your place of residency, and a time of day. I will admit, it can be hard to reserve a court due to its popularity. * Tennis Instructors * Thus far I've had the two Brian's, a Bill, and a few others. So far so good as all of them have been excellent teachers of the game. Very knowledgeable instructors. From area positioning, to racquet grip holding, to hitting routine and feeling, it's those little tweaks and adjustments here and there that really help. They make the classes worth it! Well, that just about sums it up! Just note that local residents receive more of the benefits versus folks like myself that live "out of district." Like priority sign-ups if you're looking for a class. Regardless, I still find myself taking advantage of what they have to offer.

Instead, retaliation, defamation, character assassination, everything to make all the people that like me to turn against me. THPRD is not supposed to be in the business of Destroying People. It does so in a very dangerous and low life way. it uses 'hit men', staff members from somewhere else, or friends, or acquaintance to cause trouble and sabotage people's reputation in real time. THPRD needs to close down it's management team and get all new mission, not to break from the honor code like it is now breaking, and to not lie about being all inclusive when it's a party club and if you don't fit in and stay quiet, you're out and personally attacked by staff and management. Dangerous place. Do NOT go to THPRD. Did so for ten years, it is slowly crumbling to death. Get out while you can. It's too late once they get you.
