I grew up skateboarding here at Tron and progressively learned more and more over the years. When I…read morehad first visited "Tron" it was all wood with a massive halfpipe but i was too young and inexperienced to skate it. Since then I've seen the construction of the cement double box which is arguably one of the best ledges in Portland and the now (old) new park which was the 2008 addition and just as of recently the (new) old park which was the complete removal of wooden ramps to all cement and it's been my home away from home for over a decade. I highly recommend this park to anyone! Nobody fights, nobody steals, and it's a great over all place. Couldn't ask for a better spot for skateboarding.

Great location that nobody is hardly using! My son and I got some session time in to practice.read more

Great park for boards, scooters, and bikes. There are several rails. There are multiple dips and…read morevalleys with various angles for their sides - there's something for all skill levels. It's one of the bigger parks we've been to in the metro area - though we haven't been to by many. (No one was playing music. The other skaters were quite polite when we were here.) There are park benches outside the fence - backs to Parker Rd. And a few picnic tables on the grass. Our only wish were for some restrooms. FYI- the parking is a bit beyond (or before, depending on where you are coming from) and across the street. Follow the path and take the high road when it splits.

Oregon is awesome for skateboarding…read more Unlike the suckers in California, the parks here are free and unmonitored, meaning that you don't have some power-jock cop standing around issuing tickets to teenagers for not wearing helmets or pads. This alone is reason enough to move here and waste your life away on a skateboard. Sure, it rains 80% of the time and it gets a little chilly in the winter, but as far as I can tell, Oregon is far ahead of the curve in spoiling it's residents with free, fun, creatively-designed outdoor skateparks for (almost) every skill level. This is largely due to the efforts of 'Skaters for Portland Skateparks' (http://skateportland.org/) whose mission & vision is to 'create a comprehensive system of world-class public skateparks in Portland, Oregon' and 'to make skateboarding safe and freely accessible to every skateboarder, every day, for everybody's benefit.' If these guys had been around when I was thrashing in my basement at age 12, I'd probably have a much larger skill set to work with at these places. But that's okay. Glen Haven park is located directly next to Madison High School on NE 82nd (which means that it's literally crawling with children if you happen to be there after school hours or anytime during summer vacation). The park is very fun, but only when you are able to go during 'off' hours, when the child-collision factor is low. I recommend very early mornings or between 9am-2pm during school days. And for the record, it boasts the following: A 5,500-sq-ft street course and 5,500 sq ft of "tranny" (transition) area. The tranny area includes a 9'-deep "peanut bowl" with a 4'-deep shallow end with stairs and a separate rectangular bowl. The street area includes hubba ledges, stamped brick bank, banks, ledges and manual pads, handrails, stairs, two pyramid hips, and extremely steep quarter pipes. While it's wonderful that Portlanders are so supportive of skateboarding, there are a few things I'd like to get off my chest, which will hopefully make things a little easier for all of us: 1) Parents. Please use some goddamn common sense. It's a skatepark. For skateboarders. DO NOT let your 4 year old son or daughter ride their tricyle/razor scooter/rollerblades through the park while people are skating. EVER. There is nothing they are doing in the park that they can't do a thousand times more safely in your driveway or an empty parking lot. And if you don't agree with me now, you will when your kid inevitably gets plowed into by a huge burly dude covered in tattoos. 2) Mom & Dad. Before you decide to throw your kid into the shark tank, make sure he can at least tread water. Skateparks really AREN'T the place to learn basic things like pushing, turning, or general balance. There is absolutely NO POINT in dumping your kid into a bunch of huge obstacles (and in the way of older, impatient skaters) when he doesn't even feel comfortable rolling yet. Give them some time to develop basic skills in the driveway or empty parking lot, like the rest of us did. Or better yet, take them over to the tennis courts and have them bug those guys for a while. 3) Skate Coaches. Look, Dad, I know you are bummed that your kid has no interest in baseball and just wants to shred all day, and it's cool that you go with him to the park and support him while he skates. But DO NOT scream at your kid from the sidelines, demanding that he try a particular trick. This isn't a competition. Your kid isn't on a football field. And when you get all aggro about it, it isn't fun for your kid or anyone else that has to listen to you act like a dick in public. I hope this helps.

Such a cool park! I desperately wanted to get out in nature while we were visiting St. Helen's for…read moreHalloweentown so we decided to check out this spot. They have a nice trail you can take through beautiful large trees. The second half of the trail is more in brush and dessert type of feel, but still beautiful nonetheless. They also have little workout stops you can do along the way which we enjoyed playing around with haha. The also have disc golf, too, which we even saw a couple people playing so that was pretty cool to see. The only thing I will say is the trail does take you one weird way and it's near a homeless encampment so just beware that. But you can always walk a different way. Also at one point you are next to a road which kind of loses the sense of being in the park and in nature away from streets, but honestly, it's not for too long. Absolutely beautiful trail! And super easy. They allow dogs, too, which I love! Highly recommend checking it out.

I started playing Pokémon Go back when my daughter had a Pokémon Go themed party for my oldest grandson. I had no clue how to play it. I downloaded the app to participate..and the rest is history! So now, I'm trying to level up to level 50. I've performed the level 50 research tasks, and all that's left is grinding the XP! That's where Magnolia Park comes in! You can find me here many days catching Pokémon, spinning pokestops, battling the gym and leaving a pokemon, defending the gym, doing raids..but most of all, getting my exercise in by walking the routes. There are so many routes at Magnolia Park! I usually pick 4 or 5 to follow, it takes me about an hour of walking to complete. There's incline for a little more difficulty, some routes go across the street to the nearby meadow and back again. And after each route is complete, I am rewarded with XP and hopefully a Zygard cell. I'm trying to collect 200 Zygard cells to change my Zygard form. Anyways, Magnolia Park is great for picnics, there's a big covered area. On this day, there was a family celebration going on. Play areas for the kids, checkerboard tables to play checkers or chess, BYO game pieces. On this particular day we broke a temperature high of 96. Kids of all ages were enjoying the splash pad. There's a tennis court that I frequently play on. People also convert the court to play pickleball here. So much to do, I love it!

Yes, we live in Portland, but it DOES get very sunny here and very hot on some summer days. There isn't enough respite from that sun/heat. And the splash pad isn't on for all that long. What is the deal with that? What I DO love: 2 play structures, one for smaller kids, one for big kids. GREAT since there are options for smaller kiddos. I love that it has a nice big field/grassy area for kids to play soccer, or to picnic on (on a cooler day.) Do beware of the bees/hornets/wasps. The park doesn't have traps. Parking can be a bit tough, so try and make it there while school is in session so that you can park near by. There is a porta potty on site at the park, but it is NOT clean. I will either hold it, or go to the Whole Foods, in walking distance. My kids just use the potty in the trunk of the car because I won't make them use that one. NASTY! They have the makings of a 5 star park BUT: clean the porta potty, add some shade or sails over the play structure to help kids NOT fry in the heat and keep the splash pad on for far longer.
