Discovering Portland Parks : A Local's Guide

Portland features over 500 parks in the greater urban area -- for those looking for the smallest to the largest parks in the metropolitan area. The author has taken it upon himself to curate a list of the most compelling 100 of these -- whether their appeal be the beauty they offer, their novelty factor, history, facilities. Along with being able to reference parks from Beaverton to Wilsonvillle, the author has added instruction on how to get to each park by car, bike, public transit as well as including parking advice for the drives. In addition, he's added suggested walks or add-on activities to each entry, suggesting other nearby parks one can visit in addition to their target location.
