Mt. Scott Park — Attraction in Portland

Me and the gf took her dog for a walk through the park. It was a nice change from walking around the block. The park was pretty clean with people using it for various reasons. There was one woman who was on a blanket barking and yelling at everyone that walked by. She didn't seem friendly. There were two men building a small cooking fire near the building to watch the children swim. I'm hoping someone said something so they'd move. An Amazon driver was on a bench taking his break. It was nice to see him get a little relaxation before delivery the all important consuming needs that drive Oregonians. A man with some gray, 50s(?), was having his few hours a week with his young daughter at the park. He maintained direct eye contact with my gfs backside whenever we passed him. We were happy to give a single father a cheap thrill, they deserve it. The park was pretty clean and tidy. Overall, a pretty fair visit,...

I've grown up around Mt. Scott Park and it has changed quite a bit. Going isn't as safe as it once was.

Wonderful place to take the kids on a day off. The pool can be crowded at times but my kids love the rope swing and the slide. The active pass is affordable for a family on a budget. At $67 a month for a family of 6, it is a nice place to tire out the kids without breaking the bank. They also have a gym and a big basketball court indoors so regardless of the weather it's fun for the kids. Lots of different hours to work with any schedule. The family swim is less crowded and is great for families with younger kids. I would recommend this place for anyone with kids. If you are looking for a one day activity it's not bad on price either, adults are $6, teens are $5 and young kids are $4...
