Laurelhurst Park

Great park with a beautiful pond in the center and large lawn square for dog walking. The trees are tall so you will mostly walk in the shade but you can also lay down on the grass to get tanged. It took a about 30 mins to walk account the park and bus stop #75 is right outside the entrance.

Crazy amount of lagoon like water in the middle of the city! Like a slice of some oil painting during the middle of the day. A lot of folks sitting and enjoying to he view, seems like the space is well respected. You can see fish it's really cool

This iconic Portland park is a great! There's a pond, a tall brick staircase, beautiful trees, open grassy spaces, paved paths, old-school street lamps, basketball, tennis, soccer, volleyball, playground, dog area, bathrooms & more. They hold a lot of events. My husband proposed at the lantern festival! 😍💍 It's also a great place for a photo shoot.

I love the Kickstand Comedy in the Park in the summer on Friday nights. Perfect for a picnic with friends. There are port-a-potties that are often closed, but the building restrooms are usually open. I wouldn’t say they’re clean but at least it’s a place to go. I’d be open to paid toilets at this park for better quality

Hands down one of my favorite parks in Portland. The paved walking / biking pathways that circle through this big park allow for easy going nature walk with so many beautiful trees to look at. Tons of grass to throw a blanket down for a picnic / park hang. There’s even a cute pond with tons of ducks and tables/benches to use. There’s even a dog park portion where you can let your dog off leash to have some fun. Great park.

I did not realize just how huge this gorgeous park is!! Lots of grass rolling hills covered with huge trees! I think i saw people playing on a "pickleball" court by the tennis court. There are working n open restrooms in the green buildings. Bicyclists, rollerblading, a person in an electric wheelchair, people walking n skipping. Benches n picnic tables throughout this beautifully maintained park. 🌹🌹🌹🌹

Great Park for PDX events like Comedy in the Park & OPS Fest. Dog off leash area is great too as well as paced pathways. Can be a challenging to find parking alongside the park especially during events so be willing to park a few blocks away. Haven't explored outside of attending events but seems to be a popular place in general.

We don't get out to Laurelhurst as often as we should; it's one of the best inner city parks that we have, for myriad reasons: spacious, shaded, plenty of picnic space and open greenway, trails, special events all year round (our favorites being the Water Lantern Festival and Movies in the Park), an off-leash dog area, duck pond, sports courts and fields, and likely a lot more things of which I am aware. It's also seems, to me at least, to be one of only a handful of Portland's "living room" spaces: large enough, and conveniently central enough, to draw in folks from all over the metro area, for any of the reasons mentioned above. It's quite, serene, welcoming...nostalgic, even. A great place to commingle, or isolate, whatever your preference. Portland is blessed with a lot of urban green spaces, but few outside of Forest Park (the G.O.A.T.) can rival the majesty, modesty, and utility of Laurelhurst. It's the sort of place that can make you fall in love with your city all over again.We don't get out to Laurelhurst as often as we should; it's one of the best inner city parks that we have, for myriad reasons: spacious, shaded, plenty of picnic space and open greenway, trails, special events all year round (our favorites being the Water Lantern Festival and Movies in the Park), an off-leash dog area, duck pond, sports courts and fields, and likely a lot more things of which I am aware.
