But on the merits of those two sections alone, this park is incredible! Unparalleled, even, as far as public (re: free) parks go! There's a lot going on here, that I have yet to explore: sports fields (baseball and soccer, at the very least), a skatepark, playgrounds, hiking trails, a dog run, public restrooms, and a covered picnic area, perfect for special events: a wedding was setting up and getting underway during our visit. The park's grounds are vast, clean and well-maintained. An incredible green space, and a standout feature of the otherwise drab suburban sprawl that is Gresham (outside of the historic downtown area)!

Barton Park: Beautiful River, Cozy Neighbors…read more 4 stars Put in, take out that's about all Barton Park is good for... and honestly, it does that pretty damn well. I'm giving Barton Park four stars, and the first two or three are basically for location, location, location. Sitting right on the Clackamas River, this place is absolutely beautiful and makes a great launching point for rafts, tubes, fishing, boating, camping, or just finding a way to cool your backside down during an Oregon summer. The Clackamas River has been part of this area's story for generations, from the pioneers traveling the old Barlow Road to the Chinook peoples and the Clackamas people who have long had a strong connection to this river. Today, Barton Park is still all about getting people connected to the water although these days we arrive with coolers, floaties, camping chairs, and sunscreen instead of covered wagons. For me, Barton is one of my favorite tubing spots. I love putting in at McIver and floating down to Barton, or going from Barton toward Carver. On a hot summer day, there's nothing better than climbing into that cold Clackamas water and letting the river do the driving. Now, the camping... that's where things get interesting. Privacy? Let's just say Barton believes in the concept of community. Our campsite was so close to the neighbors that after a while, I felt like we were all part of one giant dysfunctional family. You could hear everything babies crying, kids running around, conversations, people coming and going. And then there was the funny lady next door, who apparently had no problem providing free entertainment for the entire campground. The bathrooms can get packed, too, and if you're looking for peaceful solitude where all you hear is birds chirping and the river flowing, you might occasionally find yourself thinking, "I could have just stayed home and opened a window." But that's the trade-off. You're close to town, you've got the river right there, plenty of amenities, and a great place to spend a summer day. If you don't mind being packed in like a bunch of happy campers at a family reunion, Barton Park is your showboat. For me, the river makes it worth it. Four stars. Beautiful location, great access to the Clackamas, and one of my favorite places to cool off and float. Just don't come here expecting your campsite neighbors to be strangers you'll probably know their children's names, their bathroom schedule, and possibly their entire life story by the time you leave.

A few benches and picnic seats are available, as well as some educational signs about the area. From the top elevation of 930 feet, you can see Mt Hood, Mt St Helen's, Mt Adams, Mt Rainier, the Gorge, and the city of Gresham... if it's a clear day. If not then you've got great views of the trees. Near the parking lot is a 1928 house with a neat history as a speakeasy. Would be cool if they opened it up for tours or private events! There is a restroom at the top.

In order to address it, the ONLY toilet i have in the house had to be removed and so I needed a porta-potty. I was working with Brad's Septic Service and they were great! But my reconstruction company uses this company. They contacted American Sani-Can telling them that I needed a porta-potty today and that I do not currently have a toilet so it was an urgent need. American Ssni-can said that they could not find my home and could not get in touch with anyone, so they never came by leaving me without a toilet. I had to drive to the store to use the bathroom. They said they couldn't come back out until the next day!!! I know they never called me for directions and knowing i don't have a toilet never bothered to come out to provide one until the following day after 10:00 a.m. This is the WORST service I've ever dealt with. I would NOT recommend this company. Brad's septic service was just here and delivered a porta-potty for me. Thank goodness for Brad's whom i highly recommend!
