Laurelhurst Park

A large sprawling park in SE Portland, home to dog parks, a duck pond and plenty of space! One of Portland’s oldest parks. Enjoy grilling with the family with five great reservable spots, and plenty of places to spread a blanket.

Insider tip: Portland Parks and Recreation runs most of the parks in the city—all the covered picnic shelters and BBQ grills can be rented through them. Outside of that, all parks have tables that are first-come first serve. Day-use fees notes where applicable. Get out there and chow down!
