Some when you live in an area you forget to do all the wonderful things there are to do there. I always take guest to Washington Park. The views of Portland are beautiful, the play grounds perfect for little one of all ages and laying under the tress are so relaxing! You can walk over to the Rose Gardens or... More

A stunning place including the various trails that you walk. Go and explore as its one of the highlights of the City. There is also a beautifully designed Holocaust Memorial which was understated and thoughtfully done and therefore very moving.

This Park is huge with lots of free stuff as well as a few things which include a fee. I know someone who took the metro here and he said you are dropped off in a very deep train station and take an elevator up to get out. That would not be for me. And while this place is very... More

From the Oregon Zoo, the Japanese Gardens, Rose Test Gardens, tennis courts, train ride, and so much more - a visit to Portland would not be complete without a visit to Washington Park. The park is surrounded by mansions and the view of Portland from the Rose Garden is exquisite.

No roses, but it did not matter. Rhodoies, Camilla's, clematis and azaleas, all in perfect form and beauty. We were very impressed with how well maintained and beautiful the gardens are. Will return soon.

This green space within Portland is remarkable. There is so much space that you could walk for a while without seeing someone, even in a city of 600,000. There are plenty of places to picnic, relax, or hike. Many areas have paths which is helpful if you have a stroller. There are some flat places and some with decent hills.... More
