    Taking a moment to breathe in
    Andrew C.

    I don't come here often --- maybe once a year? But when I do I'm always blown away by just how vast and diverse this park is. And yea, it's right in the middle of urban Portland. The inner east side is blessed with this awesome stretch of greenery that contains a great network of paved walking trails, a fairly large lake/pond stocked with a noisy brood of ducks, an off leash dog area, pickleball and tennis courts and even a small playground. Just an easy 20 minute walk among the giant trees is good for the soul, and the well maintained grounds make it a cinch to navigate. Picnics are encouraged. Parking isn't always easy in the surrounding neighborhoods, and busy 39th Ave basically defines the eastern boundary, but the pay off is a slice of peace in the urban jungle if you go deep enough.

    Winter wonder ;)

    One of the most famed parks in PDX. Tree lovers come and hug all they can and feel the sanctuary of Laurelhurst. The variety & depth will make you pause to gaze during your walk constantly having your dog wondering what is going on. Your pup wants to socialize at the huge off-lease area and will pull your leash to hurry to get there. Water ~ filled with ducks & fish. Beautiful view angles everywhere. The pathway will be congested at times. Early morning is best for joggers. Street parking.

    Probably the most famous park in Portland. I came here years ago for the first time and had great memories. Now I live near enough to visit. This is one of the better maintained parks in Portland and has enough diverse sections. You'll see people picnicking here and relaxing on benches when it's sunny. There's a lot of park wildlife here (ducks, squirrels) that let you get close enough for good photos.

    We had been to Laurelhurst park a few years back with our daughters. The park was good but there was a large house less population present and we could smell drugs and heard lots of yelling and language i wasn't happy to have my children exposed to. We gave it another shot and was presently impressed! The playground was great and definitely geared for kids under 10. Great climbing and swinging options for my kids. The street between the playground and the rest of the park has been shut down and has the pickle ball courts and skating/biking options. We walked around the parks and saw lots of people running, walking and having fun. Great park!

    This cute little park is not too far from downtown Portland. In 1909, the land that is now Laurelhurst Park was purchased from the estate of William S. Ladd, who was twice, the mayor of Portland. Ladd named his 486-acre parcel Hazel Fern Farm, after the name of one of the streets in the area. As East Portland developed, Ladd's tract of land became too valuable for agricultural use. Ladd sold his land for over $1,000,000 to the Laurelhurst Company around the turn of the century. In 1911, seeing the potential for a park as part of the Olmsted Plan, the City of Portland bought 30 of the acres, including the pond. Laurelhurst Park is a perfect example of the City Beautiful Movement in landscaping. In 1919, the park was named the most beautiful park on the west coast by the Pacific Coast Parks Association. Thanks to the efforts of the Portland Historical Landmarks Commission, in February 2001 Laurelhurst Park was named to the National Register of Historic Places. Laurelhurst Park's ideal duck population is ten male/female pairs. That's why you see so many ducks in the pond.......In 1987, the normal duck population was at 120, with seasonal visitors sometimes boosting numbers over 200. Relaxing and calming, this park has restrooms and picnic tables. Street parking spaces abound.

    Love this beautiful park! I come here every time I visit Portland.

    Beautiful park! We stopped by last Saturday afternoon with our pup. The grounds are fabulous. Beautiful trees, flowers, wide paths, picnic areas, a large pond, and wildlife. We meandered through the entire park and found it all very peaceful and serene. If I lived nearby I'd be visiting this park regularly. Yes, there's a decent sized homeless community at the southern perimeter, but it didn't seem to flow into the park itself. I was sad to see some trash had made its way into the pond, but overall the park was quite clean. Great place for pups, joggers, nature lovers, and families. Stop by and enjoy the baby geese and ducks, and the gorgeous trees!

    I love Laurelhurst Park in all of its grandeur and imperfection. I have a history with this urban green space that goes back decades. I've attended weddings in the park, as well as picnics, silent raves, and I've walked the loop trail too many times to count. I've watched my dogs frolic in the off-leash area, and I've secretly scattered a few of their ashes there as well. (shhhhh) I've delayed writing this review for a very long time because... well, is there anything I have to say that is different from anyone else who loves the park? We've all watched the same seasons change, and witnessed the city's varying levels of care in maintaining the park. We've all watched the homeless population explode in recent years, and become uniquely aware of their comings and goings. We've all witnessed the housing prices surge in the areas surrounding the park, for many of us, dashing our dreams of one day affording a home within walking distance. It took walking away from writing this review several times to understand what it was I wanted to express about Laurelhurst Park. It is these shared memories and experiences that make the place special to me. I love considering the many thousands of unique stories and events that have taken place here, perhaps interweaving with one another. My story is your story, and our shared history becomes a tangible and permanent reminder of how important a resource Laurelhurst Park is to all of us.

    This is a nice large park with lots of parking as it's also surrounded by homes and neighborhoods. When I turned into the park from the SE entrance there was a row of homeless camps set up. However when you continue driving you'll drive past it; it's not a long drive though and you'll come across some parking that has easy entrance to the park. When I was walking around I saw a lot of people going on their runs. It was during the fall/winter so I imagine there are many more people here during the summer. People can do everything from playing frisbee or football on the many grassy areas to walking their dogs to having large lunch or dinner gatherings on the long benches. It was a bit wet when I was here but the leaves and the trees were beautiful! Overall it feels like such a great place to visit and do whatever you like doing at parks.

    One of the largest and most beautiful urban parks in the City! When the rhododendrons and azaleas are in bloom early spring, it's magical! There are a lot of tall, old, established trees that create a canopy of various hues of green providing shade over the rolling hills. It's so lush it feels like you are in New Zealand! There is a paved path that meanders throughout the park making for a lovely walk or jog. There are huge open areas where the sun pours in for those who want to catch rays. And other open areas that are shaded with varying options of picnic tables for small or large gatherings. Many people bring their own chairs or blankets for more private picnics on the grass. The pond, Firewood Lake, is so beautiful and peaceful, the tall trees along the perimeter reflecting in the water. Lots of ducks live around this pond enjoying the tranquillity. For dog lovers, there Is a large off leash area along the west side. Laurelhurst Park has always reminded me of a mini Central Park and than after doing some research, I discovered the landscape architects were The Olmsted Group of New York, the same architects who designed Central Park! It's evident in the design. Parking is on the side streets and since it's a residential area, availability varies based on day of the week and time. The park is located on the Bus line with a stop right on SE Cesar Chavez Blvd making it super convenient. There are homeless camping close to the SE Cesar Chavez entrances even though there are signs posted saying, "No Camping." In the park itself there are some homeless, but I have never felt uncomfortable. This is a gorgeous park and the perfect place to get your exercise, meet friends for some safe social distancing conversation, have a picnic, read a book, and just take in the beauty of nature. Laurelhurst also hosts concerts and movies in the park during the summer. Hoping we will be able to enjoy them this year, the summer of 2020.

    This park was about 10 blocks, from my old house. I found this park in my high school years, because my neighbor down the corner from me, took me here to use me as his model, and he was my starting a new hobby: photographer. (He gave me all the negatives and prints). This is another neighborhood park, my husband and I visited on our own, during the pandemic. We tried to visit as much as we can, per week. Because of Portland's growing population, it can be very crowded during a nice day, even during the pandemic. People gathering around, relatives/friends, and social distance, having a picnic, hanging up their hammocks and relax, children can roam free & pets! Since the 70's, there's been some changes, that I noticed and took photos & notes on those changes. Example: Giant Sequoia. The lake used to be so dirty and it smell, but the city have done a lot of improvement since then. There used to be various types of fishes, too, the reason why it smell! There's a photo that reminded me of a garden in Monet's painting! Firwood Lake was added, with a new name! Wood cutting of ducks on the cyclone fence. NOTE: Don't swim, it's not a swimming pool lake! Please don't feed the ducks! "Each year, large amounts of blue-green algae were produced as the sun quickly heated the shallow water. In response, Portland City Council allocated funds to dredge the lake and install a water aeration and circulation system." "In 1919, the Pacific Coast Parks Association named Laurelhurst Park the "most beautiful park" on the West Coast, and in February 2001 it was the first city park ever to be listed on the National Register of Historic Place." ~ Wikipedia. Oh, let's not forget, my husband's old home is 5 mins. from the park! He & his dad used to go jogging here!

    Came here last week before they announced that all parks are closed temporarily due to the Coronavirus. This was my first time coming here and I enjoyed the fresh air. It was such a good escape and going for a quick jog was much needed and enjoying the warm weather. Flowers was starting to bloom and the scenery was nice. The trails had pavement, dirt, and gravel that you can walk on and it loops around and there was the pond with ducks. I had a peaceful picnic. It's a large place with plenty of distance to travel, and possibly some swings and stuff (though I can't remember for certain). A great place nonetheless whether you're alone, a couple, or a family. Fun seeing the ducks and other birds in the pond. Definitely looking forward to the park opening again!

    Just steps away from a busy road, curving paths and a tree canopy make you forget where you are

    Ask the Community - Laurelhurst Park

    Do they have grills and water pad?

    Yes, they have grills but no water pad.

    Is this park safe to visit? I've heard the homeless have taken over parts of it and set up tents, etc.

    I've been a few times, not in the last month or so. At that time there were definitely some questionable spots but it was concentrated, and overall walking around inside the park was great...and gorgeous.

    Is the off-leash dog area fenced in?

    No. It's a big open area.

    Can you have liquor there?

    Consumption, and even the possession of alcohol is disallowed in any City of Portland parks by park policy, but enforcement has gone down dramatically in the past few years.

    Can you fish here?

    No. The lake (pond) and park are too small for that.

    Is there a kids play structure here? If there is, what street is closest to it?

    There is. Cesar Chavez.

It's a straightforward path, so you don't have to worry about accidentally taking a wrong turn and getting lost if you are new to hiking. Very beginner friendly! The forest itself is beautiful.

    Mount Tabor Park was long, long , long on my list for places to visit in Portland. After a recent…read moretrip to Portland we timed it where we could go here one morning and enjoy the scenery. We were not disappointed in the slightest! Most of the park is up on a hill which if I recall correctly is an extinct volcano. The reservoirs are very cool to look at and walk around at. We went to three of them and I believe that is the total number that aren't decommissioned but there once was five reservoirs here but two are decommissioned. The reservoirs were once used for drinking water but now serve primarily as a scenic and historic feature which it most certainly is! There is all kinds of paths you can walk around in and even minor hikes of a urban sort if you want to look at it that way as if you want you can walk uphill for quite a while. If you roam around the park you can see beautiful views of downtown Portland which is very enjoyable to see. I definitely recommend visiting this park and it has the appeal where it will attract tourists and locals alike as it is just that kind of a special place!

    Mount Tabor Park Nature's Own Little Showstopper…read more Mount Tabor Park stands proudly in the heart of Portland, yet somehow feels like a secret escape tucked right under the city's nose. The moment you step onto the trails, you forget you're in a metropolis at all trees tower overhead like gentle giants, wind whispers through the branches, and everything smells like fresh air and freedom. On a busy day, this place absolutely fills up walkers, joggers, bikers, curious wanderers, and people who just came for the view but pretend they're "out exercising." The crowd doesn't ruin the vibe, though; it actually brings the park to life. Nature does the singing, and visitors add the harmony. The water reservoirs sit calmly along the hillside, shining like mirrors laid out to reflect the sky. They give the park this serene, cool presence as if the earth itself stopped to take a drink. And those little trails? They may not stretch for miles and miles, but they're perfect for exploring, stretching your legs, and clearing your head. Just enough adventure, just enough workout, and plenty of places to pause and think, "Dang, this is nice." And then you reach the top. The view of Portland is nothing short of jaw-dropping. A full, wide panorama of the city laid out beneath you. It's the kind of view that hits your brain like a reward like nature saying, "Congratulations, you made it. Enjoy the show." You're on a mountain smack in the middle of the city, yet you feel miles above it all. Million-dollar views in every direction, guaranteed. Riddle time: What mountain lets you see the whole city while barely breaking a sweat? Answer: Mount Tabor Park, of course. Whether you drive up, walk up, or roll up with your snacks ready, this place never disappoints. It's one of my all-time favorites a little oasis with a big personality, a peaceful escape with killer views, and an easy adventure anyone can enjoy. Mount Tabor Park is a must. Step in, look out, breathe deep, and let nature do its magic.

The structure seems more appropriate for 2.5 and older. It has a pretty cool rock climber for older kids. My experience makes me wonder if there are parks in Portland that are more inclusive for all children and their abilities? I hope that Portland Parks and Recreation would be willing to rethink how they can be more inclusive when designing a park. I will be the first to admit I know nothing about building a park, but If I did I would want everyone to feel included.

I have a LOVE for Sakura/Cherry Blossoms. Tom McCall Waterfront Park sure brings back wonderful memories when I visited Portland for the first time during my daughter's college day, very beautiful park! Tom McCall Waterfront Park if for Governor Tom McCall is about 36. acres with a view of Williamette River in downtown Portland, bordered by RiverPlace to the south, Steel Bridge to the north. Did you know this park used to be 6-lane highway, activists held picnics on the tiny riverfront walkway in 1969 to protest the lack of public space. Gov. Tom McCall formed a task force, Harbor drive closed in 1974 and the park opened in 1978. Besides annual cherry blossoms this park has trails, salmon street springs, monuments, various festivals, protest, events, are held here. Near by to Portland Saturday market. Parking is very limited, either street parking or private lot. I can't wait to visit Tom McCall Waterfront Park again, with or without cherry blossoms or for Fall, foliage- I hope to catch the blooms again next year! same time, same place, I loved to be back!

Portland's Saturday Market is hosted on the weekends (March until December) on the northern end of the park, right next to the Bill Naito Legacy Fountain.
