- Chelle T2 contributionsI have enjoyed walking here many times. There is a wetlands area, and there are many ducks and geese. It is fun to see them just born, and to watch their families grow up!
There is also a swimming beach, and children's spray pad, that I'm sure will be enjoyed again.

And enjoy a break from the rate race and what nature has to offer.
The ponds are stocked with trout. So why don't they call it Troutdale as well. Anyway, people come to fish from the docks, from the shore around the ponds. And some of the more refined souls come to paint. And it's an easy bet that their paintings are not going to end up in The Tait Gallery in London, or even the Lovre in Paris. And certainly not on hanging on my living room walls!
You can locate this Wetland Park by driving east on Glisan Street till you come to the Salish Lodge. the apartments are to the east. The public parking for the Ponds are to the west.
Salish Ponds is open from Sunrise to Dusk.Written August 28, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Nice kids play area. But don’t miss the covered bridge over Fairview Creek that leads to a wonderful loop trail over to nearby ponds.Written June 29, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RSNNPortland, OR5,803 contributionsThe Heslin House was built in Fairview, Oregon as a boarding house in the 1890's to service the train depot a block away. Unfortunately it had some competition from a closer hotel and another boarding house. It incurred debts and was sold to the lumber owner, John Patrick Heslin.
The historic Fairview City Jail is located behind the house by a playground. The jail is on the national Register of Historic Places. It is a small building with just two cells. It was used to lock up drunks.
Inside there is a wall filled with WWII posters. and another that has photos of a historic nature about Fairview. There are some items that have been donated to the museum from the time period, but nothing that was owned by the Heslin family itself. So if you pay the admission fee it might feel a bit pricey for what there is here to see. The actual highlight is the Historic Fairview City Jail. It is very interesting to see what it is like inside the jail. Lucky for me that I happen to live near Fairview so I didn't need to pay an admission fee. I did donate a few dollars all the same.
The Heslin House Museum is open from Noon till 4 PM for guided tours on the third Saturday of the month. Admission id FREE for Fairview Residents, and East County Historical Organization (ECHO) members. Otherwise the admission is $7 for Adults, and $5 for Seniors.Written September 17, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
