Main City Park

Beautiful city park located within walking distance of historical downtown Gresham’s shopping district. This is a beautiful park with lots of beautiful views and historic places located in close proximity to the area. Please visit the Japanese garden within the park (the secret pride of this location) and spend some time exploring and walking the trails and see the historic pioneer cemeteries close by.

Great park for walking and letting the kids play. Good picnic spots and the fenced dog park is big. Great retreat for the dogs!

Beautiful and well maintained park. The Japanese garden is so interesting and unique. You can access the Springwater Trail from the park too. Also, be sure to check out the Gresham Pioneer and White Birch Cemeteries adjacent to the park.

Dog park, check. Baseball diamond, check. Horseshoes, check. Communial eating area for events, such as today's Koi collective, totally. Even a playground at the entrance for an easy afternoon. Then we get to the peace park. It's lovely. Great place for family, friends, and neighbors. Great place for a walk and a think. I wonder if they'll ever do movies in the park? There's a built in concession stand at the diamond and clean toilets and a good amount of parking. The lawns are prickle free and it's a decent field size.

I have mixed feelings about this location. It is a nice park, great parking, clean, and super close to eateries/shops/library. The walking paths are nice and wide and level. Handicap accessible. There is a great picnic area and bathrooms nearby. The park itself is sunk, lower than the busy street it is right next to. This buffers the playground from a lot of the noise and danger of traffic. However, I had a very unfortunate experience around noon on a Thursday. When I arrived at the park with my child, we had the park to ourselves and enjoyed the quiet, two other parent's with kids arrived. Also, three strange men just "hung out" on a bench next to the playground for quite a while, (we checked out the garden island and played on the swings away from them) then I thought they left, so my daughter went to the playground area. One of the other moms comes up to me and points out that the tree strange guys are still there hanging out on the corner with the flags just above looking down on us. She strongly felt they were "casing the joint". So, if something bad were to happen, because that park is low and secluded.. people from the roadway wouldn't be able to see it happen. I think it is just like another park in Portland, you need to stay vigilant and be prepared for strange people. I chose to leave right away with my daughter because the other woman was leaving and it wasn't worth the risk if these guys had tried to do something.
