Wow, pretty incredible park!…read more They've got a ton of pavilions and picnic tables for gatherings, a really fun splash pad, a paved three-quarter pathway around the park exterior, various sports field including volleyball/tennis/basketball/horseshoe, THREE fenced dog parks for big dogs and small dogs and both, new play structures, and acres of wetlands with a boardwalk path. 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!

What A Hidden Gem!…read more We accidentally found this spectacular neighborhood park with gorgeous view of both sunset and full moon today. Pros: -2 miles walking distance from Mount Scott Elementary School. -Beautiful view of sunset and full moon. -Small and open space neighborhood park. Cons: -NO restrooms nor honey pots! -NO covered areas! -Limited free street parking about 20 cars on the side parallel to the park perimeter, and free street parking in residential homes. -Very Limited Walking Path: only one and it's not even covered the whole perimeter of the park. -Only two benches for sitting next to the playground structure. Tips: -Plan your visit for as long as your bladder can hold it. -Bring your own blankets or chairs. -Be patience with parking during peaks hours and nice clear sky days during sunset and full moon.

Great for a quick dog walk or a long picnic. There is a small playground. No restrooms. Small trash can. Note: GPS directs to the wrong location. Don't take the first left into the apartment complex. Instead, take the second left and find free street parking above the park.

A small sideline for parents divides the field from a modest play structure and a basketball hoop. Basically just what you want to see when you have a younger child in tow who needs to be entertained while the older sibling takes the field. The park is nestled in a neighborhood, so a great resource for locals. A small covered shelter, which is important on a hot day, because there are almost no other shady spots in this park. Well designed space, just not a lot special features or character.

Basic hygiene, people. The play structure area is okay... It's popular and I've found that it tends to feel crowded because of the way it's laid out-- people get bunched up at a couple of pinch-points. Also, there's almost always older kids here who aren't very respectful of younger kids and they bump into and scare my child who is just getting comfortable. As such, we usually head to the nearby play structures at the elementary school. Less popular, more space. There's almost always old folks playing pickle ball here-- they have a popular league.

I used to live literally across the street from Creston Park. I loved it. I miss it. It's boasts a…read morefabulous green space, plenty of tree cover, walking paths, picnic tables, play structures, skate park, tennis court (in need of some TLC), and a community pool. My step-kids used to walk through the park to their elementary school, every day. There are a plethora of events that happen here every year, particularly in the warmer, sunnier months, including free lunches for under-privileged kids, festivals, games and more, and there's *always* a family or two barbecuing, picnicking, and playing music here, when the sun is out. Of course, with any open space like this in Portland, it inevitably attracts a few unsavory types. I'm not insensitive to the plight of the homeless, but it's one thing to seek shelter, and another to shoot up in public, or shout, stalk and harass kids, joggers and dog-walkers, simply for existing. Those types should be (and were, at least when I was there), forcefully ejected from the park, using whatever means necessary. The pool can be a bit tricky to get into, as it has (in the wake of COVID) staffing issue with lifeguards, and irregular, unpredictable hours. I'm hoping this will smooth out and return to normal again, over time. That said, it's one of my favorite parks in Portland, if not *the* favorite, and I always enjoy returning here. I still have a scurry of squirrels and a murder of crows that swoop and swarm around me when I stop by, with a bag of treats in hand. Watching the other park patrons freak out when a squawking cloud of black wings and feathers descends from the trees around me like a cloak is always worth the price of admission (which is free)!

This nature park is somehow both beautifully maintained and not adequately maintained at the same…read moretime. Important to note that it is a 'nature park' and not a 'city park' which means fewer amenities (no playgrounds and only one restroom in the main parking lot at the Mather Road entrance) and most importantly, no pets or bikes. There are rules for a reason. There are multiple trails that connect to various neighborhoods and loop up to a Summit Trail, however we didn't get any views from the summit. I've started a hike from the Mather Road entrance and it is all up hill for the first stretch. Our most recent experience was better when we parked part way up the hill and started our hike off of SE Talbert Street to connect to the Park Loop Trail. Unfortunately, the posted signs about poison oak were accurate and the trails were covered in poison oak. And while the trails were easy to navigate, the plants are overgrown and crossing the path, so it is hard to avoid contact. I recommend a change of clothes and/or wet wipes to avoid getting poison oak from your stroll. The area is a nice option on hot or rainy days due to the canopy of trees, but not recommended for young children or those with mobility issues. It is a beautiful short hike and you feel away from it all, even though you are close to the city. The restroom was clean and there is shelter that can be rented for events.

Gorgeous neighborhood park!…read more Beautiful hiking trail with a nice large free parking lot!!! The trails are well marked and I got cell phone service while I was on the trail. There are many trails to choose from. I choose to do the park loop, west ridge, and summit and it was a nice little loop that took about an hour or so. It had snowed the morning of, so the trails were muddy so I would definitely recommend hiking boots. I would definitely come back!
