Columbia Park and its adjacent Annex in North Portland pair a splash pad with ball fields, tennis courts, and picnic shelters under mature trees. It is one of the shadier spots on the city's splash pad list.
When to go. Peak summer highs in Portland average 80°F — warm enough for a splash pad through most of the season without being punishing at midday.
How long it's open. Roughly 13 weeks a year, from June to September. Seasons shift year to year and municipal pads often close early for maintenance, so check before a long drive.
