Top Parks in Portland

Parking can be tricky, especially on weekends, so I suggest using public transport if you can. I parked on a nearby street and ended up walking a bit, which was fine but could have saved time.

My advice is to wear good shoes, especially if you plan to explore more rugged paths. I had to swap my cute sneakers for hiking shoes halfway through, and it made a big difference!

I suggest getting there early, like around 8 AM. The trails are less crowded and you can really soak in the peace and quiet before the daytime activities start.

i suggest parking on the street below the park rather than in the lot... it's usually less crowded and gives you a nice walk up the hill with some pretty views!
