Washington Park
Picnic · Editor rating, not a user review
Portland's best single park if you want gardens, shade, and a playground in one stop.
Washington Park climbs the west hills above downtown, with gardens, forest, and play areas tucked into a much larger park.
The useful visit is one garden or one playground, not the whole hill. Roads are steep and parking is the hard part on a sunny weekend. The trees make it one of the few parks that stays pleasant in a hot afternoon.
