✓ Last confirmed for the 2026 season · confirmed against the parks department

Southwest Portland's nature-themed park pairs an interactive water feature with a lookout tower and naturalistic playground built into the hillside.

What's on site. OpenStreetMap maps toilets on site, playground alongside at this location.

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.
