Opened in 2018, the Fernhill splash pad anchors the kid zone of this large, rolling Concordia-neighborhood park known for its big open lawns.
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.
