    Hiking trails, forest, and the Japanese Garden

    Hiking trails, forest, and the Japanese Garden are just three of many reasons to make Washington Park a regular recreation destination for you or your family.

    A Portland highlight - use the free shuttle to get around

    Washington Park contains several of the highlights of any visit to Portland (e.g. International Rose Test Garden, Portland Japanese Garden, Hoyt Arboretum, Oregon Zoo, Portland Children's Museum, etc.). But the park is massive, and parking at the various sites is very limited, so trying to...More

    Love the Zoo et. al.

    Portland's zoo is far and away the best animal sanctuary in the US...The environment is clean and cleverly arranged. There is an obvious attention to detail as you meander the paths to different biomes...

    Beautiful driving and hiking

    Driving through in mid-November is stunning when the leaves are yellow in the sun. Lots of neat hiking trails. Plenty of activities within the park. One of the best places to go in Portland.

    Great view and great hiking area even in Winter!

    This is a great area to go hiking on a path made for you by the Multnomah Athletic Club which is just down the hill from it on Salmon Street adjacent to Lincoln High School. It is one of the largest inner city parks in...More

    No specific bike trails, but there are plenty of bikers on the winding roads through the park. Check out the park map.
