Washington Park features over 400 acres of recreational space and has something for everyone!

If you are looking for a more casual and leisurely way to spend your time, you can enjoy the numerous playgrounds, tennis courts, and open space, or even enjoy a picnic. There are also over 15 miles of trails for those who want to get some walking or jogging in before their cruise from Portland.
♦ Pioneer Courthouse Square
Known locally as “Portland’s Living Room,” Pioneer Courthouse Square really is reminiscent of a common area. This 40,000-square foot center boasts many unique features, such as a giant chess board and a cascading water fountain. It also serves as an outdoor amphitheater where local performances take place (onlookers use the steps as seating). If you find yourself spending some time in downtown Portland, this is a very nice area where you can go to relax.
