7 beautiful parks worth visiting in Portland (the weather has us ready to touch some grass).

Which park should we hit up next? 🌳

Peninsula Park - the roses are blooming soon, and pdxinsectarium just did a bug walk there that we hope happens again. 

Mt Tabor - maybe one of my favorite basketball courts in Portland. Somehow airballs feel good on a court like this. Eagerly awaiting the pdxsoapboxderby and of course more tabordance events. 

Hoyt Arboretum - The living museum within Washington Park is mesmerizing. 

Laurelhurst Park - A go-to running destination. There’s nothing quite like relaxing with the ducks. Now we’re just counting down the days until kickstandcomedy in the park. 

Smith & Bybee - This moss-covered gem holds a special place because we got to enjoy it during the first dragmeoutside event.

Pier Park - we’re here for the thebelmontgoats 

Forest Park - the dogs love these trails. No visit is complete without a visit to Witches Castle.
