This park is so gorgeous and well laid out. Tons of areas to rest, to walk, to sit and talk. The foliage is beautiful, and the environment is peaceful. Hard to believe this is just a couple of blocks from the city.

From the Oregon Zoo, the Japanese Gardens, Rose Test Gardens, tennis courts, train ride, and so much more - a visit to Portland would not be complete without a visit to Washington Park. The park is surrounded by mansions and the view of Portland from the Rose Garden is exquisite.

No roses, but it did not matter. Rhodoies, Camilla's, clematis and azaleas, all in perfect form and beauty. We were very impressed with how well maintained and beautiful the gardens are. Will return soon.
