If you live here, you know the Pacific Northwest offers some of the world’s most beautiful scenic experiences. Rest assured, when you’re not exploring the Gorge or Coast, you’ll have your own outdoor spaces to relax in, explore and enjoy. There are plenty of nearby parks for fresh air amidst the bustle of downtown, to name a few…
DIRECTOR PARK's romantic, European-inspired design, entrancing seasonal fountain and built-in chessboard provide a dreamy setting for lunch outside or working remotely. And it’s right in your backyard.
THE SOUTH PARK BLOCKS offer a tree-lined path to campus, sprinkled with benches and memorial statues, coffee shops, museums and plenty of grassy space for a nice read or afternoon picnic.
WATERFRONT PARK is all about the river views, and it’s also home to Portland’s favorite celebrations, including the Waterfront Blues Festival and Rose Festival, among others.
