Westmoreland Park
Oregon Metro
Southeast Portland, Oregon
A popular Southeast Portland park gets an upgrade with the restoration of Crystal Springs Creek and new play area to help children discover the natural environment. The nature play area — the first permanent one in Portland — incorporates logs, boulders, sand, water, plants, hills, and opportunities for building with “loose parts” such as branches, sticks, pinecones and more. More about this project >
