Laurelhurst Park

E B

Like others have mentioned, the park is surrounded by homeless camps even on the sidewalks of a gorgeous street with multi million dollar homes. It’s a shame that the city isn’t doing more to help people. As such, it’s hard to find parking on the street that is safe and flat. Some areas have many hills so it’s not mobility friendly but there are paved areas, just very steep. Lots of runners, cyclists and dog walkers.

Wonderful park smack dab in the middle of SE Portland. A lake with ducks sits at the eastern edge of the park. Lots of trees and open space. Room for dogs to run, mini trails and several entry points around the park. Lots of on street parking around the park. Restrooms at the northern side in about the middle of the park. Homes around the edge of the park are unique and interesting.

-Set inside a very large park with a nice pond and scenery. Lots of paved trails leading this way and that. Lots of trees. Plenty of picnic tables and people sitting out in the grass areas and flying kites, etc. A large park. Be prepared to walk to the dog areas. -There is a map near the entrances that are helpful -NOT fenced, just a particular area of open grass set inside of the large park -There are certain areas and times that the areas are for dogs (see pic for date/times) -No water stations for doggos -Street parking only. Set in a residential area. -Trash cans spread throughout -Restrooms

This is a great park in the laurelhurst neighborhood. Have been here a few times for different tree climbing classes and events. Today was the ISA tree coming competition. Great chance for everyday people to get to witness some of the PNW's best climbing arborist show off their skills. While it's very east to vomplain about the lack I'd convenient park..and the surprising surplus of tents and shanties.. it's not the parks fault. The park itself is is a great place to walk the dog..play some Frisbee..perhaps some hackie sac if your cool enough. Go. Check it out..make it have that Portland feel we all miss so much. Today I saw an Osprey try it's hand in the lake located in the center of the park.. I also saw many passersby stop to see what the loud cheers and excitement was about with the climbing comp. Perhaps you will be as lucky when you visit.
