Portland Heights Park

This is a nice small park to bring our small children to for years now. We even celebrated a birthday here. Pretty devastating when the big tree came down after the winter storm (picture). We unfortunately come less and less every year because entitled people treat the entire green space as an off leash dog area and my kids are afraid of getting rushed by dogs anymore.

Imagine my surprise running up the hill when I came upon this beautiful park. An empty tennis, basketball, and soccer field with nobody in sight. Also has a clean (and safe) looking bathroom and a water fountain as well as several benches to take a load off.

A nice and hilly neighborhood park for tennis, baseball, a restroom and small playground. There is a long stairway to the bottom field.

A very nice, clean park with a few extra amenities such as a basketball court. It has a small picnic area and is seldom crowded. I gave it 4 stars because on my last visit a very upset older gentleman playing tennis screamed profane language at me as a passed by the court singing quietly to myself. Thankfully it did not escalate into a physical confrontation once his female companion restrained him. Overall a great place to visit.

Not very busy even on a Saturday morning. Nice play structure for little kids with some features older kids would like, like a big metal slide, swings, and a large merry-go-round. There is also a very small park near the tennis courts which is fun for my toddlers who like to watch people playing tennis. There are also plenty of blackberries in blackberry season (late July and August).
