Description

edit

Located in southeast Portland's Brentwood-Darlington neighborhood,[5] the 14.25-acre (5.77 ha) park includes Oregon ash wetlands and Errol Creek which feeds into nearby Johnson Creek.[6]

In 2018, Portland Parks & Recreation began a project to restore wildlife habitat and add amenities to the park. The project cost 12 million dollars and was officially completed in January 2024. New features of the park include a basketball court, playground, public restroom, new ADA-accessible trails and an ADA-accessible elevated boardwalk.[7]
