Marshall Park

"A favorite place for us"

This park is a real gem in Portland.  Even though it is close to the city, you feel miles away.  A gentle creek runs through the park, and we have seen smaller salmon making their way up and down the creek.  There are great hiking trails that are well maintained (although if you have a really little one you will want to keep a close eye on them during parts of the trail that are up on the cliff...very long drop, but nice view).  There is also a modest play area with swings and a slide.  It is really quiet and beautiful!
