Reviews

  • Kathy Hartwell

I really enjoyed this garden. The parking was very tight (too few spaces), but the garden was worth the wait. It was beautiful. I loved the trail that wound down and around to the lower garden with the water feature and steps to return to the top. I'll have to spend more time here on my next visit, during a time they are not so busy …

Parking is challenging, it's a small lot. You can park on neighboring streets, but also challenging. You can secure a free pass to the garden by visiting your library (adventure pass) and printing the free pass. A small donation is nice. Best time to visit is May/ early June when things are in full bloom. Staff is excellent.

Walking meditation, the sounds, the smells, the feel of the wind. What a WONDERFUL way to spend an hour or so. Free admission on Monday. Parking wasn't a problem. I absolutely love this place. They need to re-do their plant and tree identification markers as they are mostly missing or faded to unreadable.

This little garden was not just beautiful but extremely relaxing. After walking around checking everything we sad on a bench under some trees and between the running water and wind between the trees we both fell asleep for a bit lol Parking is free but there’s a $5 per person fee.

We had such a lovely, peaceful walk through this park. We went toward the end of the summer and it was beautiful. We even spotted an owl in one of the trees. The only downside is that there were several weddings going on and so the bathrooms were roped off to the public.

  • William Cave

Been here so many times, was able to feed the ducks before, with the grand kids, We feed them kail,corn,peas. They used to have alot of fun,free entry,now $5.00 per adult, and no feeding the ducks !!! The grand kids didn't have much fun. …

  • Andrew Engel

Beautiful spot tucked away. We didn't know it was here until we were heading over by Leed College. It's so well maintained and there are SO many rhododendrons. Even though it's October one or two were in bloom! I thought they only bloomed

  • K.M.A.

Lovely and well maintained garden, but they are sticklers on entry time. It's 10am or no entry unless you're a member. I can see where they're coming from since membership comes with it's privileges but being stuck on the exact entry time

  • Natalia Stucky

This was our first time here. It's a beautiful location for a day trip. Came for a friend's wedding and loved it. Wish the waterfall would have been flowing like shown on the website, but it was not. There are lots of plants, but I'm not

If you want to find peace and tranquility where you can enjoy the beauty of a well landscaped Rhododendron garden with lots of other plants and tree a lake that surrounds the island and peninsula with wild life living there I suggest you

07/08/23: I was proud of myself for taking a chance to visit this outstanding and beautiful garden—$ 5 worth of every and every penny of yours into these amazing sceneries. I felt relaxed, calm, comfortable, and mindful about my life and

  • Julianna

Only 5 dollars to get in, this unassuming garden is so much larger than expected, with a bridge that extends over the lake. Awesome array of wildlife (many different ducks) if you keep your eyes peeled. Beautiful foliage in the fall!

  • Jennifer V

This was a gorgeous getaway in the middle of Portland. We arrived at peak bloom (I believe) and it was only $5 to get in. If you are planning to take portrait/event photos, there's an additional fee. Stunning pathways, trees, Flora,

  • Tien Nguyen

What a beautiful garden only with $5 ticket/person. I went on a sunny Saturday morning and it was not very crowded. Lots of trees and bridges that just look vintage and relaxing.

  • Catrina Remster-Rasmussen

Such a lovely place to take a stroll and enjoy the beautiful PNW. Quiet and comfortable easy walk! Flowers, trees and ferns labeled. My parents were married here twice :)

  • Joseph Kerner

We buy a yearly pass every year. This is an amazing nature-scape right in the middle of a golf course. Clean and free of garbage unlike most places in Portland.

  • Stacy Alexander

Stunningly beautiful, an urban oasis S with gorgeous waterfowl, sometimes eagles. Sometimes blue herons. Twisty trails. Water. Huge trees. Peace. Quiet.

  • Christopher Barrett

Very nice garden with plenty of wildlife. Mondays are free, but donations are encouraged. Also, I've only ever seen nutria here, not beavers.

  • Alvaro Fontan (Bigalpdx)

Beautiful relaxing trails easy accessible and pet friendly. Spring and early summer are the best time to visit.
