Awesome new park. AstroTurf ground with a hill the kids like to use pieces of cardboard to slide down on. So if you have a box bring it with you. Theres also a sandbox that was my sons favorite. We will definitely be going again and recommending this park to others. It also has a skate park & very close to WinCo if u need a drink or snack

Gateway Discovery is one of my favorite parks!Its accessible which makes my job super fun and simple! I work with individuals who have developmental and physical disabilities, and they love spending time here!Everyone loves the sensory items like the chimes and xylophone.Everything is accessible, the main building offers free wifi, there are staff on site, the park is ginormous, and they also have board games!

It started out as a sweet little park, and pretty much is during the day. One of the “selling points” to the neighborhood was that there would be NO homeless allowed to camp on the surrounding streets. Someone dropped that ball.The old saying of “nothing good happens after dark” would also apply here. Opened til midnight? To what end? In the days in which we live, maybe this could be looked at again. No adults. No rangers. Little police patrol. And now four kids being shot. C’mon folks. A little common sense goes a long way!Day time? Yes, absolutely! After sunset.....not so much.

I take my kids here all the time, we love it because of the skate ramp, my son is learning to skateboard, so he gets super excited when we go! Fun for all ages

Nice and clean. Lots of tables and grassy areas. Bathrooms not open though....

Awesome playground for kids - our little one loved it. But no shade.Also dog poo, homeless settled at the public restroom and people with loud music and big dogs around. Overall not the best surrounding environment for such a playground.

Small but a good spot if youre trying to get your vert game right

Real nice park with loads of fun things for the kids to do and real nice soft sand in the sand box. At the moment they seem to be doing construction on the park so the swings arent accessible. The only downside is theres loads of people camped out on the side of the park with lots of garbage.

Nice park but the homeless camp on the street connected to it made the environment not ok for kids to be in

Very good park. My 6 year old and 3 year old love this park. So much things to do. And so clean. Every Saturday they have some awesome activities for kiddos, like last Saturday before school started they had kiddos make bracelets. Just wish they didnt have sand area. That belongs at ocean... just my thought.

A nice urban neighborhood park and skateboard park.And as a lunch lady for the Parkrose School District I am happy to tell you that Parkrose School District has joined with Portland Parks and Recreation to serve free lunches to anyone 18 years or younger. Lunches are served Monday through Friday 11:00AM-12:00PM

Great park. Lots of textures and different things to do for kids of all ages. There are a LOT of homeless who live next to the park, but its safe and my kids love it!

Nice park. Nice people. Bathrooms not open due to homeless issues and camp on other side of park.

A very beautiful new place. Improvements are still ongoing. Pleasntly Surprised.

Great park for all ages, aside from the block of lived in vehicles.. the park isnt at fault for the issues of the park. Its mostly the graffiti, garbage, and homeless. That in my opinion give it a lower rating.

Fun. Small. Go early morning or else its crowded

One of Portlands newest parks in the Gateway district. When the weather is good, it is active with families and children.

Its not even a park anymore theres things being build there.... and there is alot of homeless that think its ok to sleep on kids playground.... it was so upsetting and I promised my son I would take him..... but to know that park is now trashy its not worth going back.... i dont recommend that park to any1

My kids love this park. Its simple, but keeps them engaged in imaginary play for extended periods of time.

Great park. Smooth and fast

Phenomenal little park for this neighborhood!Tons of things for all ages of kids to do. Restrooms, picnic tables, benches and sitting areas galore. Only downside, being in Portland the homeless community is lingering around the open bathroom.

We just wanted a nice place for our kids to play. What we found was a homeless camp. We decided not to stay to play. Very very disappointed to say the least.

Needs more basic playground equipment for kids. Not in the greatest of locations.

Opening “Summer 2018”I love how parks are evolving to include everyone and everything. Active healthy social tolerance fun freedom responsibility integrity

Just a very small park, great for beginners 10 people at the most

I love the features of the park but was disappointed that they took out the swings. Hopefully theyll add them in another spot in the park.

I loved it, my kid loved, the whole family had a ton of fun just sitting back having a picnic and then enjoying a day exploring the grass hills that people used as slides using cardboard that someone left over. Overall very cool and hip park to visit.

First time here,for peace in the park. Fun,kind people,and not to crowded for a event.

Great place renewal was done excellent outcome

Great fun! But, FYI: all the hoitey toyty parents cant stop staring at you or your child, if your not one of them...

Beautiful Park.Great initiative by the City. Sadly people of our own society it seen like some time they dont appreciated Beatiful things and its making this park dirty. I wish the Best to this park to last in good condition. I give a 5 star to the great work done here. And 1 star to the people that are not respecting this park.

This park is one of the best parks I been too in a very long time. It great for family picnics for all ages. Small Children lots of great things for them to do as well as older kids. I urge you to try this beautiful party out. Its absolutely beautiful for your family. Plus they have all kinds of events going on all the time. Check your local parks and recreation. Enjoy

Really enjoyed the #slavic festival here on September 1st. It was actually my first time here. Would definitely attend another activity hosted here.

Great spot for young and old alike. Cool grassy mounds and a skate area. Nicely done.

Is fabulous place where they take care of your loves one to start the never came back journey god blessings this people cause that the hard moments they they are right there for your family

My son loves the activities this park offers almost every day like life size chess games and board games and remember to bring a cardboard box for a ride down the grass hill

I love it as a parent because its safe for my kids and most of all my kids love it.The park is clean and store the bathrooms, which is unusual and fortunately. Theres some sprayers that kids can get wet/cool, there is good seating area and benches, bathrooms are clean considering Parks average, artificial turf Hill that is fun to cardboard sled down....its right in the heart of gateway northeast Portland and has a little bit of something for all ages.

Great warmup spot

Great park with lots to do for any age, me and my friends wrestled in the sand pit.

We Seen a falcon but she was moving to quick!

One of my neices favorite parks, sand box, a slide, swings, climbing structures and a big turf hill that kids love to slide down on. Bring cardboard for them to slide down the hill, but if youre doing that make sure to wait at the bottom to catch your kid just in case because i have seen some slide onto the cement.

Great Park. Was there for 11th annual Slavic Festival. Had a great time.

Looks like a really fun park. Great sand area for the kids with water. A lot of different activities there with slides, swing, and other fun things for kids. A great fountain area for the kids to play in. On hot days there is not a lot of shade so that would be the only drawback for me. It looked like there were large kids games there also but Im not sure if that is for a specific event or not. Seemed like there was a lot of on street parking.

There is, literally, something for everyone. Even afford can find workout equipment! Its so fun!

Good place for lunch

Incredible! I am so excited about this park!

Super cool modern take on what a park can be. A long way from the parks that were common when I was young. My girls (2&6) love this park.

This is one of my favorite parks to take ALL my kids ages 6 to 14 (34 if you include me.) This park is cleverly designed with exploration in mind. The layout of the playground and the bright vibrant colors create an easy and interesting transition between each activity and play structure Skatepark and large field for use. Activities during certain hours of the week as well by community volunteers. This park is amazing.

My kiddos love this place

Gateway Discovery Park is one of Portlands new playground/community space that included a water area, skateboarding attraction, large open grassy spaces, sandpit for creative play, public restrooms, and so much more! It even has workout equipment! It offers something for everyone, for all abilities and ages. Weve been here during the day and at night. During the day, it can get busy and with it being a new park, the tress are still small with little shade but in 5 to 10 years, it will be full of wonderful shady spots. The lighting at night is good for a public park. You can see across the park, from any end. One of the highlights for the kiddos is the AstroTurf hill, they enjoy sliding down on cardboard so bring your Costco box and be ready to watch them slide down with glee. During the day, in the summer at least, they have activities such as a huge chess set & a connect four. They also have a piano to play on.One of my favorite features at all the newer PDX parks are the xylophones. As someone who does not know how to play any instruments, I can still create something beautiful with the percussions.

Amazing! Hands down best park on that side of town.

Looks great I generally just pass by. See all kinds of people interacting and enjoying the park. I dont stop because Im on the way to work.

I went here for the Slavic heritage festival and had a pretty good time. Park has ample grassy area and an adequate amount of bathrooms and water fountains. There is a general lack of shady areas, though.

I walked through this park. It appears to have amazing equipment for children. Grounds were kept well. It appeared to have staff of some sort on the grounds.

Super awesome park, everything is new in there. Great playground, big sand area, fountains, cool trails for biking, picnic area and board games.The only downside is that there are a lot of homeless people in the mornings and closer to the evening.

Brand new , ultra modern park. Lots to do. Skate board area, multi station fitness regimine and even an on site park host. Right on transit line and close to shops and restaurants. 2 unisex restrooms and in ground water jet fountain.All around awesome addition the the neighborhood.

Wow! An awesome park! So many activities and thing to do. Amazing. Love that place. Great for people of all ages.

This park is designed for people of all ages I love it . I totally for got to take pictures

Amazing place for all age groups to hang out at

Its about 90% done but still under construction.Has a field, playground, skatepark, 4 piece equipment gym, swingset for the whole family, 2 bathrooms and a prowler.Ill update when its finished

I didnt even know this park was here. It has newer play structures, sand box and an open field. My family enjoyed it.

It was great standing around the tiny bowl waiting for a run that never came. Skate parks Should be built to accommodate more than one person at a time

Great park .... All around very well laid out. Skate park, water fountain , Sandy play area, swings , all kinds of toys for young and old alike.... Lots of interactive toys too.

Absolutely fantastic. Always super bright and a nice. There arent any big trees for shade yet. People need to keep this place clean!

Kids love this park. Close to home and its clean

Best urban park in East Portland with activities for families year round!

Lots of fun, kids love riding their bikes around here.

Cute park, reasonably clean.

My family loves going to this park. Lots of varied activities for kids of all ages, from the sand pit, the oversized xylophones, the skate park, the hill slides even a center with oversized board games (chess, tic tac toe, etc, jumbo sized). During the warmer months there are water features running, a splash pad and water spigots at the sand pit.

Fantastic park! Lots of cool things for the kids. Very large space with excellent variety. Very modern and new age. Musical instruments, climbing activities, even exercise equipment for adults, even though it isnt there most functional. Then during the afternoon there is a window there with a person who has more games to play. Great park

My,kids love this place. Friendly park staff with lots of games and activities in the summer. The field is great to run around with a ball, the sand area is big enough for multiple groups to play, snd theres a lot of structures to run, climb and play on.

This park is actually pretty neat I didnt even know it existed my kids really enjoyed the skate park area and while we were there we attended the Slavic Festival to watch my niece on the runway it was quite an interesting experience had a pretty good time.

What a fantastic Park I wish theyd had this when my kids were little I wish they had a skatepark like this for me when I was a teenager this is one of the best parks Ive ever seen and so far the homeless have not taken it over

Lots of different activities- esp for kids. Not overly crowded so there are no long waits to play on different playgrounds. Also a skateboard area

Its a fun place to take your kids in I like the part with the sand really fun to just you know if you like winter a lot you can make sand balls instead!

This is an awesome new park to the city, lots to do as a kid and teenager, Under the covered annex, in the summertime they have a ping pong table to play on, nice addition as I always loved ping pong. They used to do movies in the park here, i wish they still did.

Really, love this park:)

My lil girl says that the slides are the BEST.. And the swings. It is spacious and gives her room to run, play and.ride her bike.

Nicely planned play areas however no shelter or shade Full sun/rain exposure

Great place for any age kids. Lots of creative natural playscapes. Park was very clean.

Its cook they have a water area and free lunches in the summer. My kids love it here. We need more parks like this around town.

Tongan day 2019 was great! This is a wonderful park with lots of fun things for kids to do.

My favorite

Beautiful park but homeless are over taking it.

Nice clean park with a mediocre but fun concrete skatepark.

Thank you to the folks that take care of our park and keep it nice and clean. You are awesome!

Nice park with interesting things to do .

This park desperately needs some shade. Otherwise, good size climbing area, several swings, big sand area, and the signature AstroTurf hill of new Portland parks. Plus a huge field for frisbee or ball. NO DOGS.

My kids loved this park. There is not a giant play structure like many other parks. It is spread out and has lots of room for fun things still. There are slides, a fun hill to roll down, sand and water areas, swing set, picnic tables, climbing nets, an other little things around the park. It also has a skate park in the far corner too. Lots of fun and very clean currently.

My grandsons love this park. We find something new to do Everytime

So excited this park is finally open! My kids and I love coming here as its really close to where we live. The sand pit is awesome, the play structures are super fun, and the skatepark is really popular. We cant wait to continue our weekly trips here once the weather is nicer!

Great new accessible park, water feature is not great, sand and water play, skate area

Love this new park! My boys love it too.

A little bowl with easy transitions. Pretty relaxed atmosphere. I saw kids here skateboarding so thats legit.

Granddaughter loves the variety of activities. So does this Gma!! ️

Super fun park! Skate park, sliding hill, workout equipment, giant chess and connect four, sand play. Water pad. Very clean.

Visited for the Cwltic festival. An interesting park to visit

A beautiful park with good playgrounds, a great place for families and festivals.

Nice, and beautiful park but the owners should try and set up a badketball court. Would bring so many people together and have a fun time

Stop creating events where you have to shut down the streets. People live in that area. What if emergency vehicles need to get into that area. Your slowing them down by turning something beautiful into some sort of corporate hipster cash cow event. I didnt need anyone to drive me to the park when I was a kid. I walked there myself. Today there were cars parked all around the park for many surrounding blocks. What happened to going to the park in your own neighborhood??? If your own park sucks then maybe it needs some remodeling. Stop the gentrification. Dont turn this into some sort of amusement park. Its just a park. I was trying to pick up my disabled friend who lives across the street from the park and I had to drive through a parade of kids and bicycles. No other way to get to my friend and I was treated like some kind of monster. Your going to become hated by the locals if you continue events like this. Or maybe someone may just decide to drive over all the people in an extremely provoked road rage.
