played tennis at the recently updated courts above the reservoir on the west side of the park
Must visit Japanese Gardens, then go explore the rest of the trails. Super easy trip from downtown with Trimet.
Fashion tip: dresses don't go with jeans, especially of the wide-leg sort. #hippies
Go to the Beer & Pizza game night, 21+, on the third Wednesday of most months. Magic, board games, Wii, RPGs, pizza, and BEER! Read more.
Great coffee inside the store at Fresh Pot, which serves Portland's own Stumptown coffee.
Parking is tight, so carpool if you can. GREAT trail for jogging strollers as well as kids / family walks. www.jocelynelson.com
You could literally run all around here for days on all the different trails. Super fun tun today.
You're not supposed to feed the ducks, but it's a great place to watch them (and goslings, in season).
Absolutely the best Mid-east food in the Portland area. Fabulous hummus, baba ganoush, pita, kabobs...and dishes I've never seen anywhere else. I also heartily recommend the veggie mezza.
Right in downtown Portland. Miles and miles of lush green forest and trails for hiking or running. There are a number of entrances. http://www.forestparkconservancy.org
A great view of Mount Hood for Photographers at the summit, it's a mild intensity hike with a nice combo of open fields and trees.
Best seats for symphony concerts are also the cheapest - top of upper balcony. Bring binoculars and you're golden!
Beautiful 1 hour RT hike. Well shaded and green, a perfect summer-heat escape.
Nice park with a lot of open sky. In summer there is a waterfall-type wading pool that the kids love, and we adult like the positive, happy kid energy.
I truly appreciate fine arts so i'm really happy i had the chance to visit this place. Wish i had more time though. Incredible and fascinating arts they have. My favorite is Vision of Fiammetta, 1878
Another great park to just relax and enjoy the Pearl District. Seconds to Waterfront Pearl-
A sculpture by Raymond Kaskey above the entrance of Michael Graves' Portland Building. It's 34ft, 10in high. If standing, she would be about 50ft tall. A plaque contains a poem by Ronald Talney.
BE A KID AGAIN! The Portland Children's Museum is a great place to take the kids for a day out. Check ahead to see if there are any fun classes that day. Read more.
Great park for dog walking. Plus, the open area in the middle is wonderful to let dogs run around in. As long as there's not a soccer game going on
Excellent slides and swings, ample picnic tables, charming stream with bridges and hanging trees, surprisingly cruisy men's room. 7.9/10.
Watch the sunset. Watch the people watch the sunset. Make weird new friends. Run into old friends.
Take Columbia Slough Trail from Interstate Avenue, go along the old Portland Highway, pass Smith and Bybee Lake and end up here at Kelley Point Park, which has a great beach. Great weekend bike ride!
Good good and drinks at reasonable prices, and comedy. Support these guys!
Swim, picnic, or just hang out at this secluded park on the river. Lots of folks bring their dogs to play in the water.
Nice old fashioned skating place. My toddlers liked the skating time and the cookies and milk afterwards.
Great golf course, nice jogging trail that runs along the perimeter of the golf course, and they also have 4 indoor tennis courts!
