However, there's a parking area a few blocks up the from the entrance. At the entrance of the park, there's a nice playground, which is closed right now due to COVID. There's also a portapotty, but no real bathroom. We came on a Saturday morning and enjoyed a quick hike around the island with our three year old and six week old daughters. My three year old loved jumping around the rocks and watching the boats go by on the river. There were a lot of families fishing and splashing in the river, but there was plenty of space to spread out from other people. It's a great spot for a picnic.

I got lots of compliments and lots of kids gathered to see her sail by. Spent about an hour sailing her til the batteries went dead. And the she sat in the middle of the pond with no motors to speak of and no breeze to blow her ashore for about 30 minutes til this young man came to the shoreline where I stood and said sir I just happened to have an r/c speedboat at home. I live just across the street. I said please go get it and I will make it worth your efforts. Lol my ship cost me 100 bucks...this kid comes back with a 600 dollar Sonic Wake super catamaran speedboat capable of doing over 120 mph on the water. I just about had a cow. So he let me putt his speedboat out and gently nudge my ship to the dock. I said thanx and he said go ahead take mine for a spin. That cleared from 1 side of the pond to the other in less than 15 seconds!! It woulda took my ship about 15 minutes to sail it. What a fun day. I offered the boy 10 bucks and he said naw it was worth to see me giggle like a little kid as I drove his boat passed 3 girls spraying them with the rooster tail his boat makes.

The gun selection (and hunting) doesn't hold a candle to Sportsman's but that's probably why the call it Fisherman's. Everyday prices are reasonable and the advertised specials can be fantastic. Great selection. Still makes me a little sad every time I walk in and remember how cool it used to be when it was Larry's. Hard to beat the excitement of walking into that store as a kid after watching "Fishing the West." Oh, and don't get me started about how much I miss Joe's...

They didn't understand anything, not even the difference between air guns and real ammunition guns, and just said I couldn't return it! Their quality needs to be improved!

I frequent this Park for nice evening walks and occasionally play Pickleball on the available courts. There is ample shade among the towering trees and nice benches when you want to just take a few minutes and stare at the water as it passes down the river. Parking is easy in the dedicated lot or neighborhood streets. There is a nice playground and a baseball field. One of the better parks in Portland! Mostly because the views are spectacular and the path is well maintained for a high quality albeit structured adventure in nature. You can also stroll over the bridge or catch some extra steps on the Springwater Corridor if you're feeling up to an extra dose of delight.
