Deering Oaks Park — Attraction in Portland

Epic park! We saw the playground on our way into Portland so we decided to check it out. It is a little bit confusing to get in, but there is a lot of parking. The playground is very cool. It has 3 zip lines and one of them is a seat with a restraint. It has a really tall rope climbing structure, which was very fun. There is also an accessible playground structure with slides, but it also has great climbing features that we don’t see often. There are swings and an embankment slide. Interestingly, there is also a rock garden sort of thing. We went further into the park and saw a giant pine cone made out of shovels! From there we went to the splash pad/wading pool. It was not open yet and I’m not sure if it is opening in a few weeks. There is also a bridge next to it. There is also a decorative pond with a miniature house in the center.

Expect to be asked for cigarettes and/or funds and beware of discarded hypodermic needles in the area also but enjoy the scene when it's peaceful and quiet very early in the morning is the best time to visit, in my opinion but please visit and tell us...

This park is a true gem in the middle of the city, an oasis of green that offers a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle. The well-maintained lawns, serene ponds, and beautiful fountains create a peaceful atmosphere that’s perfect for a leisurely stroll, a relaxing afternoon, or even a family picnic. There are many live concerts held here, which add an extra layer of excitement to the already vibrant setting. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy both nature and entertainment in one go.

However, the only downside is finding a parking spot, especially during weekends or when there’s a special event. It can be a bit of a challenge.

Overall, this park is an excellent spot to unwind and enjoy the beauty of...
