Vista Brook Park

This park consists of Tennis Courts (I am currently unsure if these are private and related to the nearby Portland Country Club, a workout circuit and surrounding paths, fun rocks under large Redwoods to picnic near and two playgrounds.

On one side you have a train play structure suitable for the 1 to 6 year old crowd, a teeter_totter(seesaw) and sitting spinners.

The other side (right next door so you can watch children both big and small play safely while enjoying your morning coffee) involves slides, a standing spinner, a globe type spinner for multiple children, monkey bars and a swing set.

The park is very clean, plenty of trash cans for rubbish placement and parking is right in front of the playgrounds (please be advised it fills fast due to the tennis crowd but some parking can be found in the neighborhood..please be polite and respectful of property owners and do not block their mailboxes or driveways)

There is also ample greenspace formsoccer, running, jumping and everything else to help your children play and get some excercise.

It should be noted that this park is popular (especially the tennis courts) so come before the late morning and before the post lunch rush (1pm things seemed to calm down a bit)

Post Covid: Normally you will.also have access to a Porta toilet, drinking fountains as well as a sand box..here's to Summer 2021.

Stay well, be safe and Happy Holidays.

I just now read all the reviews of this park and I can’t tell you how much it warms my heart. You see, this place, this park, this wetlands was my family’s home for almost 30 years. My family bought and built our home on the 10 acres that surround the wetlands and that the entire park now rests on. It is sacred space. I can still remember going to bed at night as a child listening to the bullfrogs, red winged blackbirds and roosting mallards coming in to land. In winter we would skate on the pond when it froze. All year we rode our horses around the property and their was a full jump course where the tennis courts now sit. Many of the fir trees now grown were once our Christmas trees in our living room. Fanno creek was heaven for kids to play, get dirty and find crawdads. The trails extending behind the Portland golf course and behind the park were once a fully functioning train track. Some of the big ties still exist I imagine. Although our house is no longer there (the city used it for burn practice when they purchased it) my memories of this warm comforting place remain. A piece of it will always exist in me and live in my heart. I am so very grateful to see it carry on as a place for children to laugh and play, free to be kids, building their own forever memories. Thank you for loving it.

It’s a nice park! Very friendly atmosphere, not too crowded. People go to play, families with young children are able to play on the playground and run. There are many benches, a big tennis court and definitely some nice peaceful walking trails! Highly recommend. There is a pond scenery that you can look at for peace hidden behind the park that you can walk to!

Such a fun park, the exercise equipment is a nice touch, but be careful during covid times

Toddler area is perfect for my 18mo old, although it gets full sun most of the day. Regular area for older kids. 2 regular and 2 baby swings. There's a big open area, basketball half courts (not a baller, take with a grain of salt), tennis courts with a back board, and exercise equipment with a wheelchair accessible unit around the grassy open area. We see lots of people and families walking, biking, skating boarding, roller skating, scootering, and of course jogging. Directly off Fanno Creek Trail. See you around!
