This place is so nice. Theyre always doing something here decorating it for every single holiday that there is. The walkways are wooden, even the benches are wooden. They have a public restroom. Theres also like a water display. Theres a bunch of nice stores around there that you can go to while youre there checking out the park.

This Portland spot is gorgeous. More so during the summer when the water is turned on and the families are outside. Portland has worked hard to clean up its downtown area. Hopefully, as they continue to clean they also take into consideration the need for WARM shelter this winter

Little urban park in the Pearl district. Feels a little deserted every time I pass by despite being in a really nice and lively neighborhood. There are no kids playing, no people reading, leaving the stairs and benches empty. Maybe it’s because of the current pandemic.

Great place to relax in the city. If it werent for CoVid 19, it would be full of children playing in the super cool water fountain. Since the water is off it still offers places to sit on the stones of the fountain. The stacked stones not only offer seating and climbing for little ones, but its a wall on the back side, dividing the park in half.There are plenty of trees offering shade and several benches spread throughout the park to sit.Im adding photos Ive taken in the past. Oddly none while Im sitting in the park.

I like sitting here to eat lunch while a few vagrants sleep off last nights binge on other benches. Car traffic is minimal allow one to enjoy the space. Meet me here for coffee sometime.

Love it here! Beautiful surroundings. The water is so fun to play in or just dip your feet in. No play toys but still super entertaining for kids.

THE PEARL CAN BE KIND OF weird sometimes but I dont mind this place. Plus I was crowned Best Lapdog here three years running.

Such a great space to gather with friends, have a picnic, be active in and experience the water front Portland offers

Nice place to walk my little dog.

Nice benches to sit and plenty of shade. Public restroom as well.

Its a very cool park indeed! I love the trees & the benches.

One of the things I love about living in Portland is that you can’t throw a rock - nor *should* you - without hitting a park. With so many neighborhood parks, you might think they’d all just be cookie cutter affairs. But, no. And Jamison is as unique as all the others, while adding something that is more rare than you’d think: water. The fountain at the city block shaped park draws kids and their families all summer long. During the winter holidays, that fountain gives way to a Christmas tree. And I just love the boardwalk style sidewalk that starts here and goes all the way down through the Tanner Spring Park a few blocks further north.

Nice plaza style park with a nice fountain feature. Get crowded on nice warm days.Kids love it.

Its was a small and cute area with grass for picnicking, water for kids (and adults) to play, and lots of benches to sit. Nothing very amazing about it but if youre looking to stay in that area and need a place to relax outdoors for free, this could be your answer.

In the midst of a very busy downtown, you may find a quaint little water park for kids to enjoy! I love taking my daughter here and the atmosphere that surrounds the area. After playing in the water for a good hour or two, the perfect way to end the trip is to go across the street to the ice cream place! But beware: there may be an occasional homeless person. Not to mention the public bathroom here is locked most of the time - but if you do need to go I’d recommend going to the Starbucks down the street.

I love sitting by the fountain listening to early 2000s hip-hop and smokin a bowl

Great place to hang out with friends and family especially when the fountain is going.

This has been a part of what Ive called home for many years.

Lovely water play area for the kids and for others to chill out. Coffee places nearby. The Portland green train stops at the street opposite. Serene

Waterfall and kids losing their minds, ice cream shop around the corner, great spot to have some lunch at the benches. Nice people around it.

Jamison square has a water feature that is fantastic for kids. It fills up a big pool, with waterfalls and then the pool drains. It cycles like this. There is plenty of shady area for parents to sit in a good view of their kids. Safe for younger kids too.

Great place for kids in spring/summer. Great place for a meal. Great place to people watch. Pet friendly Ive spent countless hours here. Just came from there 20 min. Ago matter a fact.

I love this place

I spent a peaceful, still hour, or so, here after a very important job interview. It was perfect place to decompress. The fountain area was full of small children playing in the waters of the fountains. People walking their dogs & couples strolling by holding hands. Other people, like myself, sitting in quiet contemplation. The weather was beautiful & nobody approached me asking for cigarettes, or spare change. The park edges form a ring covered in leafy green trees, plenty of benches & lots to look at, as many walk through on their way to wherever.

Loved the fountain here! The water has different depth and waterfall phases (easier seen than explained). Fun for the family! Since the splash pad is very open, it is easier for parents to play with their kids without trampling over others or crowding the place.

Looked like a really fun water place for kids. Like a waterfall. Not just your typical fountain.

Nice little public space

Nice for a grassy scene and only a few blocks south from #TannerSprings Park-wet-Lands and ducklings sometimes.…

Jamison Square is one of, if not my favorite park to visit in the Portland area. In the summer time, the center of the park becomes an awesome waterfall for the young and old to frolic in. During the winter months, specifically during Christmastime, they showcase a giant Christmas tree and a soundsystem plays Christmas jingles and Christmas carols. Theres also occasionally roving carolers in the park. This is definitely a safe, awesome place for young and old to enjoy the outdoors in the Pearl District!

All city parks should be this beautiful and engaging. Love it year-round but especially in the summer months when the water feature is on. Bring the little ones; theyll love it.Cool Moon Ice Cream across the street too.

Jamison Square is the quintessential summer hang out spot to kill an afternoon with kids. Bring your towels and a picnic if you like, and a blanket or some camp chairs, and let your kids splash in the fountain while you relax with some water and a good read. There used to be folding chairs available for public use, but as of this writing, they appear to be gone. Jamison is still the perfect place to be on a hot summer day. When the kids are tuckered out, revive them with some ice cream from across the street at Cool Moon. Numerous cafes, restaurants, and coffee shops are a short walk away.

Love the fountain when its open. Great for dogs and kids.

Lots of green. Water for kids and doggies when its hot! A bathroom. Plug ins to charge your electronics, this place cant get any cooler!!

Nice place tucked in the pearl. In the summer there are kids playing in the waterfall. There are benches around the perimeter of the park as well. You can get ice cream in a shop nearby and enjoy it here.

Jamison square has a water feature that is fantastic for kids. It fills up a big pool with waterfalls and then the pool drains. It cycles like this. There are plenty of shady area for parents to sit in good view of their kids. Safe for younger kids too.

A Sweet Spot in our city - the best park for our kids in warm weather. A joy for a few quiet, sit with trees and people moments.

I dont kniw

Its a fun little water spot for kids. If your child is special needs this place is great because the sound of the water is soothing for them. Can be busy during warmer temperatures but overall its nice. Downside is having to pay for parking along side the park area.

Great location and easily accessible by the streetcar.It has declined in the last couple years - used to be very nice and family friendly. The grassy area is now more of a mud pit and be careful for pet waste. Ive witnessed a homeless man washing his laundry while the water was full of kids.

Great square, barely round.

Beautiful Native Inspired park

Jamison Square is a great place in the summer time. There is a small waterfall pool for kids to play in, a grassy area under trees for enjoying the scene, and the occasional chair to sit in. There are plenty of restaurants around to grab a bite to eat and a couple of really good ice cream shops when it gets hot.

Love to spend time with my family/kids at Jamison square from summer time and its peetty during the holidays

My favorite park, peaceful water feature that end and flows & children wade in during summer. Great place to just read a book or write. Family and dog friendly. Only clean public bathroom in Portland.

It was really relaxing. Just sat with my wife on the top of the rocks. She was enjoying her feet in the water. I had moments of my body just decompressing from the week. It was amazing.

It was beautifully. Picnicking on the rocks. Thats just one option. The rocks are actually a waterfall. Great for kids and adults throughout all seasons.

One of the best hot weather places for babies. Most splash pads in Portland require your kids to be walking but this one is good for non walkers, just make sure they wear knee pads because they made the ground rough (anti slip) theres grass to set up a blanket and a public bathroom

Beautiful family and kids park.........

Great for night time

Its pretty crowded and its loud and smells like chlorine. If you have kids Im sure its great. If youre looking for a quiet place to read... There are better.

I really like the little waterfall. In sight of its location, it is a nice park to bring your kids. Especially, the Summer. They have a look that can be used and is kept surprisingly clean! YOU PIECE OF CANDY! Ice cream shop across the street.

Great picnic spot, right next to the max station.

My daughter suggested Bastille Day, which was hosted at Jamison Square. Firstly, the waffles were to die for. I have never had such high quality waffles before. The price was decent as well. Homemade vegetarian baguette sandwiches, yum!! (albeit a bit pricey) Live French music, families playing in the water, sunshine. The only beverages offered were wine and spritzer water. That was a bummer as I dont drink alcohol and I wanted plain ol water. Small issue for myself. I always carry my own water, but I can see how this would be an issue for others. Added bonus, a most handsome French man. Seriously, the most gorgeous man youve ever seen. You could take pictures with him for a fee. I passed on that, but definitely noticed he was gorgeous. Lots of women gawking, lol. All in all, it was a good time.

Its a great place. Although there are always a few unsupervised hellions. People bathe here so be cautious with little babies. If you take toys be prepared to share.

Its good to walk and take fresh air

Cozy square; it’s November and the Christmas tree is up ... romantic place ️..

Cute splash pad with lots of trees and a patch af grass. Fun times with little ones

A Pearl district classic!

Its has a nice fountain and a Lous

I didnt hate it.. nor did it leave a major mark in my memory bank.

Wonderful cool down spot in the city. Pretty clean and very fun

I live in Boston and I feel great here. Such a nice place to hang out with kids or just friends. It is a very well done space.

Let kids enjoy summer days..

This is a really nice place to eat your food outside, or just to simply clear your mind.

This was quite nice place and area on the hear of Pearl District, in Portland, Oregon. It was very nice to take a quick break by the water feature. The place is surrounded by different shops, like an icecream place, a few stores and a deli. There are benches all around the square.

Kids doing weird stuff in an artistic splash pad/ water feature

Great Park!

Great place to take little kids to cool off!

Great place to go a and relax, go take the little ones to play in the water, or just play around on the grass. Close to food places. Right off the street rail.

Went in the winter time so the fountain was off, but my kids had fun jumping around and theyve done a good job of keeping it clean.

I cant believe this place its in the middle of town great place for kids great place for dogs people follow the rules just because they want to keep having the park be quick though the water disappears very bass after it turns off

The fountain is wonderful for all ages and reasons, the little grass beach w birch trees fills up w people on blankets, the kids trill w delight as the water ebbs and flows. Good vibes.

Fantastic cooling spot for kids and folks of all ages. Benches in shade, bathroom and treated water in fountain. Cofrre and snacks near by, street metered parking.

This is a cool downtown Portland Square thats in the Pearl District. There are restaurants that line two sides of this park. In the summer youll see kids playing in the park and a lot of people just sitting around reading or just people watching. In the summer this is the perfect place just to hang out and watch people. There are two restaurants on the north side which are good to stop in at.Theres a lot to explore in this area and this is a fun place to take a rest.

Great water feature w/ wading pool & a lawn for families to lay out blankets a watch the splash show from the shade

If your in town during the summer months and need a place to relax with the kids for a few hours this is the perfect place. Plenty of restaurants and public transit options within walking distance.

Wonderful square/park/public space. Was there for Bastille Day celebration.

Good park in the neighbourhood. I like that they have a fountain for kids to play in. Beautiful area

Its nice to see that Jamison Square is still the same family-friendly, seasonal water fountain/kiddie-splash park. BUT, the homeless seem to take over after 5:00/6-ish. We used to bring our children here when they were all quite young. The water comes up high enough (or gets deep enough) for the littles in diapers & young ones to pretend to be in a pool, even if they have to crouch down a little to do it. What ruined our revisit to Jamison was that a few homeless (drug-addicted looking-types) showed up after 5 or 6. One began to disrobe and wash himself, his clothes, etc., RIGHT THERE. Smh (*sigh*). So, we hurried and grabbed our young ones & our not-so-young ones and high-tailed it outta there. It was inappropriate and gross. I mean, the water is chlorinated, so it helps me block out the gross-factor that the water is shared with saggy/soggy diaper-wearing babies (some of mine used to be one of them), whose potty-business, Im certain, leaks into the pooling water. BUT, you have to draw the line somewhere. Would you stay in a swimming pool if a visibly dirty person, in dirty clothes, showed up and jumped in? So, thats Jamison Square nowadays. You take your chances, but we wont be back.

We love this fountain. It’s both kid friendly and adult friendly. While you sit and watch you kids play, adults can soak their feet and take sun, or have a picnic on the tree shaded green grass. Right next to the square is delicious ice cream everyone can enjoy, with small sizes to enormous hefty 4 scoop portions.

Nice,clean and family/pet friendly. Love the water fountain/pool its always clean and ready parking.

Love this place the water fall so peaceful, people with children and dogs

Place to relax in the shade or sit in the sun.

So many homeless people everywhere! I was there one afternoon with my young boys and there was some disturbed homeless person who yelling and leering at us the whole time while my little ones tried to enjoy the fountain. Did not make us feel very safe or welcomed.Does Portland not have any vagrancy laws???

Great experience, especially on hot summer days. We rarely have many of those in Portland, but for those suffocatingly hot days its a Godsend. Cool clean water from the beautiful rock slab water feature spring forth every few minutes, and its a favorite local watering hole for fun and refreshment in the Pearl District, close to downtown Portland.Make sure your offspring wears water-friendly shoes/slippers. The hygiene conditions are suspect at best especially on hot days with so many folks. There are terrific and inexpensive food and treats available within blocks. Its one of Portlands best spots for kids on the cheap.

Great other than like all other public parks in Oregon. Gotta worry about some of the folks living in and around there. the bathroom is often occupied by a junky. There is often people smoking various smokable things with no consideration for who is around. Ive only been verbally assaulted by a woman once while I was playing with my daughter in the water. Very strange and upsetting encounter. But like I said youll get this anywhere in Portland now. Overall its a fun little park for the littles on a hot summer day.

This is a fun stop for everyone. You can go in the fountain and splash about.

Great park for people watching especially on a hot day when the water draws a crowd....and with the icecream shop across the street there are lots of kids.

A super beautiful place where bring the kids to enjoy water and lot of fun.

Its such a calm and nice environment. I love that its so close to my work.

Its a nice park i like sound of the water

Great place to dip your toes on a hot day! Great place for kids to wade in the water.

Jamison Square provides an oasis in Portlands Pearl District (which is already pretty darn nice). Essentially a city block, the Square is bordered on three sides by streets and the fourth by a condo tower. At its heart, the Square features an awesome fountain that spills out of a tiered stone sitting wall that forms a splashing pool, usually occupied in summer by forty to sixty kids and parents. A bocce court, grassy sitting area, several trees, and public art complete the Square. Very family friendly, and look for the ice cream shop across the street. Very clean and safe, but no fences separate the kids from the street so parents need to be vigilant. An awesome family friendly location!

Sweet lil Oasis in the Pearl District ... Family Friendly!

A lot of fun to watch the kids playing and people watch. Great water feature. Good place to go.

Love the waterfalls to wet the dogs feet in after the dog park.

This park is so much better than it was when I lived in Portland. There is sculpture, a great fountain with space to lounge on our infrequent sunny days. There are several cafes adjacent to the park, with ice cream and lunches. I was here for a Bastille Day celebration put on by the Alliance Française. The music, food from St. Honoré, the bright day and the park full of people made for great fun!

Great place for kids playing with water in hot day.

Its a lot of fun for parents and children we had ice cream across the street I recommend Jamison Square to anyone whos new to Portland its a great Park, great place to read a book, great place to play with your kids, a great place to lay in the Sun, my wife and I love it there
