Gresham families in our area could be enjoying this but it is disgusting. (I'm not sure who is doing all of the littering either.) Either way, this is in the middle of Gresham where everyone could enjoy it but the garbage has got to be cleaned up. This is the responsibility of the city. What's happening!?

There are these everywhere with their poop. The park is filthy and it looks like it has not been cleaned by the city of Gresham in weeks and weeks. The barbecues themselves are full of garbage too. It is very filthy and feels unsafe at night. Shame on the city of Gresham.

Everytime I'm in Portland in the summertime, I come here to go swimming…read more I was super lucky, I was actually staying way over in the NW part of town and found out that the #77 crosstown busswhich was literally a block away from me would bring me straight here. So I gathered all my stuff for a day at the river, towels, sunscreen, plenty of water, snacks, hopped on the bus and spent a fantastic day here. Go early because there really isn' a lot of shade by the river and all the best spots get taken up early. There's also the woods to walk through filled with wild blackberry bushes everywhere. I guess my Canadianness comes out because I went straight into the water and swam about like it was nothing while everyone else was freaking out over how cold the water is and stayed close to the sandy shore. It's not. Especially on a scotching hot day, it really isn't a big deal. Also I have no idea how there can be drowning in a river which you can literally walk across, and never gets very deep. The current isn't all that strong if you go further away from the bridge, in fact the water is downright meandering at that point. If you have an umbrella, some reading material, lots of water, snacks, and you don't easily burn or get sunstroke, you can easily pass an entire, serene day here.

Great trails leading to the Sandy River. A nice park to stroll through on a day trip to Troutdale.read more

As far as the main city park goes, this is a nice facility -- well maintained with a good run of…read morelawn in the middle, a pavilion with tables to sit in, basketball courts on the other side ... and a small Japanese garden. We're taking tiny, but that's where I spent most of my time. Unfortunately it was in a pretty major state of disrepair when I visited, with lots of yellow tape everywhere, open trenches in the ground and plants and trees waiting to be planted. The wooden bridge over into the garden was cool though and I feel like it will look 90% better in the spring.

I highly recommend bringing a camera with you when you visit this cool place. Plus, there's a great path that winds through a forest, and I thought it was an amazing opportunity to take some photos of the plants there; I could imagine the scenarios featuring the forest as a part of the Black Forest in the fairy tales I like to read sometimes, such as Little Red Riding Hood with the Big Bad Wolf (except different, of course). Finally, I give this place two thumbs up, as well as five stars (although ten stars would be even better).

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.

It's a small park, so if it's cloudy, there isn't much else to do here and you may want to save it for another day. - Being completely ADA accessible with the ability to drive up to the top to drop off individuals who can't make the steep walk up to the top, and there are 2 handicap parking spaces at the top as well. - Paved path circling around the top, with a low-rise so you can easily navigate with someone in a wheelchair or walker. - There's a small restroom facility at the top. - One covered picnic area, at least one other picnic table, and some benches. - Informational signage around the park explaining the history and wildlife of the area in 3 languages (English, Spanish and, I believe, Russian). - Engraved metal plaque & stones at the lookout point showing you exactly where to look to see each mountain peak. -Small parking lot at the entrance/bottom of the park.

Even in places of the park where dogs are supposed to be on a leash, 99% of them were not. We were disappointed in the park from our human hiking perspective, and since you have to pay a $5 day-use fee if you don't have a paid park pass, it is unlikely we'll return.

Only feedback to make it better: 1. Currently they're doing construction on the sports field, so there's large empty dirt patches between areas of the park. 2. The boardwalks over the wetlands could use a map. I got a little lost!

Most people walk here and they allow dogs on leashes. There were a few runners. They have available bathrooms at the visitor center near the parking lot. Gate closes at 10pm from what I remember the sign saying.
