These themes are evident in the Portland Japanese Garden. The Japanese Garden focuses more on the sophistication and beauty of gardening.

The park includes the Portland Zoo, the World Forestry Center, the Portland Children's Museum (established in 1946, located in the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI)), the Hoyt Arboretum (with a series of coast redwoods over 150 feet high, which were the first trees planted in the arboretum in 1931), the International Rose Test Garden (established in 1917, the oldest public rose test garden in the United States), and the Portland Japanese Garden (established in 1962 on the site of the former Washington Park Zoo, after which the zoo moved to its current location). In the warm sunshine of early spring, the flowers are charming, and it is really pleasant to spend a day here.

In this experimental garden, you can see many beautiful roses, but it is mainly an experimental garden, so don’t pick them easily.

The park is very large, and is suitable for children or friends to play. When I passed by, I saw that there were not many people, which may be related to the weekday. The facilities that a general amusement park should have are also available.

Amazing... Built in 1914, the Mansion is incredible, full of history of Portland's first families. The Oreganian newspaper publisher, together with his family helped transform Portland. It is really worth to visit.

This is an important part of Portland's urban landscape and anyone interested in architecture or urban design should visit it. Yes, there are always some weird street people here, but it seemed very safe to me. Enjoy a picnic on the steps in front of the fountain, relax, read a book, or just take in the local atmosphere.
