What People Are Saying About Washington Park Rose Garden Amphitheatre
The Editor

Citysearch
In Short – This multitiered, beautifully landscaped park in Portland's West Hills draws locals and tourists alike. Visitors come for International Rose Test Gardens' rows of meticulously manicured blooms. Another crowd pleaser is the view to the east, which frames Mount Hood perfectly between forest, hills and river. The Japanese Gardens, Hoyt Arboretum, World Forestry Center, Children's Museum, Oregon Zoo and Vietnam War Memorial are all located within the park.

THE ESSENCE OF THE CITY OF ROSES
by portland_mike7456
Wow! It is so wonderful at Washington Park. I can only comment on the International Rose Test Garden because that is the only area we visited. It is very well maintained and the view is great! You can see all of downtown and Mt. Hood in the background. Please make extra time for parking and don't be afraid to hike a bit to wherever your destination may be. The amphitheater is a fun place to sit and people watch.
- Pros: Free!, Beautiful view, Well-maintained
- Cons: , Not enough parking
