User Reviews for Forest Park

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Portland is lucky to have Forest Park. You'll find miles of trails for hiking and jogging and several serene gardens here. The best part is that it feels you've completely escaped the city, even though it's only a few miles from the center of downtown.

4 Star Rating: Recommended

We are so lucky to have Forest Park so close to the city. The trail head on Thurman can get really congested with cars, peoples and dogs, but once you get going, it's pretty peaceful. The farther you go, the fewer people you run into. You can walk (or ride) for miles and miles. It's a good thing there are mile markers, because it's easy to lose track of time and distance.

Pros: close to city

Cons: crowded, street parking

Editor's Review

The largest inner-city park in America provides homes for dozens of species and open space for Oregonians.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

When to Go

Weekends at the Thurman Street entrance can be congested, but with so many miles of trails, it quickly thins out.
