While this park seems fairly dark, during evening hours it has more lights than many other city parks. There is a circular walking path, playground/swing area, 4-5 tables for use, and a walkthrough to cut through the park for pedestrian and bicycles.While not the 100% best kept park, it is a cool one in the summer and a wind protected one in the winter.

Nice shaded park and nice playground, but there were a lot of dogs not on leashes.

Its a great little place hidden away from the city noise surrounded by healthy community this park is perfect for children small dogs and grandparents this podcast lots of history and lots of memories

Great shady park for the kids to run around and play on equipment and build forts in the trees. Not usually too busy. Good amount of benches and picnic tables. Also a lot of room to put down a blanket for a picnic.

Awesome neighborhood park, well maintained and the kids play structures are safe for the kids.

This park makes me feel like i or my kids are going to be kidnapped for some reason. It needs and upgrade badly. There is so much space but it feels so closed in because of all the trees. I didnt want to stay at this park at all. If you live in the neighborhood and just going for a walk... it would make you feel like someone was following you. It would be great for Halloween.

It was such a nice little park. Clean and family friendly place. Not near a busy street lots of trees and really nice neighborhood.

Not a bad park but nothing to write home about either

Nice wooded park. Its a little too dark in the evening but a good place to cool down on a hot summer day

I walk my dog there almost all the time. Pretty good place for a shade when it is hot outside.

I like this park it is like being in the forest up in the mountains except it is in the city. It doesnt have any creeks or rivers running around it,so you cant go fishing or start . But it does have picnic tables and benches so you can enjoy the summer days and nights and also have picnics or just sit around.

Small out of the way. Used to be called Russell Park I thought

The best thing about this park is the shade. Its one of the few places to stay out of the sun on a hot day. The play equipment is older, and better for little ones who are a little bigger/steadier compared to some parks.

Trees, trEeS & trees... and swings & huge slide & big toy. Fun and beauty!

I lived near this park for 2 years ..not to many visit this little gem tucked away..never overly crowded unless schools out ..the trees here make you feel young and like on a camping trip ...little squirrels everywhere ..play ground and pets welcome on a lease ...though its not huge ..its a wonderful beautiful midsize park ...i love to come here when I am sad or need to think.Ive even heard some of best horn playing ive ever heard at this park ..ive made friends here walking the house dog ...ive made art here ....if your just looking to sit and think or do art ..let your kids play or walk the dog just 5 stars 4 sure *no hiking trails - ponds or extras but doesnt need it !*

Nice, quiet, clean. Cute little park.

It is a best park I know so far. On summer time is the best place to take kids over here to play ( 90 % in shade ) very cool place and very nice neighborhood ( senior neighborhood). But if you come here to mess around, you will be reported to police by nice neighbors. Please come here, play and leave as it is. Dont littering or mess up. Be a well- education person.

Mmmmmmm shaded

I love the forward feel of this park. Its always cool and shady so great for hot summer days. Theres a pretty substantial playground with many old style play structures. There are paved paths that wind throughout, and even a dirt mountain bike style track that my son (4) loves. Its never busy.

Always enjoy it here.Mostly like that it is full of old big trees.Grandkids love to play hide and seek.

A nice quaint little park in the middle of a residential area. It provides a quick reprieve from the hustle and bustle of life!

Lots of talk tree s. Some pa ed paths. Kids play ground. Cool in summer weather.

Cute little park. Lots of Pokemon. Nice play ground and walking trails. Nestled in the trees between a high school and and elementary school right off San Raphael and 122nd. Lots of birds if you like birdwatching too. I saw three falcons early morning so pretty and talkative.

Nice place..its perfect for hot days..trees shade everywhere in the park. It has a playground for kids too.

A great place with lots for toddlers to do, not a tall structure, super great for my 3 yo. My 10 and 11 yr olds had fun too, teeter totter, lots of climbing jungle gym type things

Hidden gem vary nice forested park. Small but has lighted trail and large play ground area.

Well maintained and up to date. A fun quiet park in ne Portland popular during afternoon hours to walk dogs and go for walks by the residents of the neighborhood.

Quiet park. Pretty decent size. Play structures are in one area, but without feeling crowded. A couple paved pathways meander throughout the surprising number of trees (for an in the city park). More than ample spots to either just sit, or to have a picnic.

This park is an oasis of tall trees in a neighborhood. Childrens play area, benches & water fountains allow everyone to enjoy the wonderful space.

A very peaceful place to visit.

Shaded like a walk in the woods except paved paths. Also has lights and 3 garbage cans and 2 drinking fountains.

Lovely shaded park with lots and lots of trees. The playground equipment is in great condition. I appreciated all the park benches and picnic tables. Paved paths for easy stroller walking. Only thing I would change is an actual bathroom instead of a porta potty.

Same neighborhood park as it was 45 years ago take a rest on a quiet park bench

I have frequented this park for over 30 years. I went there as a kid and now take my own there. Recently, I have had repeated incidents involving teens smoking weed, apparently dealing weed, and cursing loudly. Usually they are doing this on or right next to the playground. Would love to see a police presence every now and then as many people use the dead end park access road as a park and smoke location as well. The park itself is awesome, heavily shaded, and fairly clean.

Nice park, just a little to quiet or hidden place!!!

Its a very different kind of park. Very shaded because of all the tall trees but still very open and its easy to see everything going on. Theres an old really tall slide that my daughter loves but if its cool outside it feels even more so there because the trees block the Sun.

John Luby is tucked away, but thats part of what makes it so great, when I visited it was cleaner than most parks in the area (especially those by schools) and had some of that awesome old school park equipment. For example slides where you can actually get some speed, and tall swings so you can get some good air on your jumps... also present are walking paths and lots of firs to walk under, enjoy the adventures a small forest can offer and enter in John Luby park...

Ckean and quiet family park

Great park with shade and a fun play ground

Beautiful place to hang out when its hot ... nice and cool in the trees!

Great place to take your kids when its a sunny day enjoy the beautiful nature

Very nice woodsy park. Lots of picnic tables.

Grandkids live it! Especially on hot days, the talk firs keep the temperature c ool and pleasant.

Trees trees and more trees, awesome!

Love it.

Its a peaceful area.

Its a small part but its a nice one everything is kept clean well mannered Park moms kids play there doing today

Its a lovely park.

Ok park for pets and kids

Very nice park.

The park in the woods, my kids call it. Its a beautiful park, lots of area to walk around. But the road that runs past it is always a risk. Drivers speed through there, ALOT! Keep an eye on your kids.

Very quiet park nice shade in hot summer so many pine trees to give nice shade, they have a old fashion slide thats very tall old school slide very nicenice path with also dog park at the end of park diffently worth the visit

Lovely, peaceful park. Full of big tall trees, perfect for hot days- you can play in the shade. Like a little forest in the middle of a neighborhood.

Cute little neighborhood park. Play equipment, short walking trail, picnic tables. Nice and simple.

A quiet place under tall trees. Shady on sunny days. Good play structures. Across the street from an elementary school.

My favorite park, almost always empty!

Very nice park. Nice and shady. Lots of squirrels for the dogs to chase. Look out for animal control. Mostly, pick up after your dog.

Shady and usually pretty clean. My kids love it.

Nice little park.

Couldnt park close to play area, path only into the park... at least the route I was taken on maps.

Grew up around there!

Lots if trees so no sunshine. Nice park across from Russell grade school. Clean.

Absolutely a wonderful park. Love it.

Lots of woods in the area, and plenty of squirrel for my dog to chase. There are two water fountains there which have been turned off lately located on either end of the park. One small playground for kids and 3-4 benches located around the trail. Theres also a small open area in the back that shares a fence with the local highschool.

I love love love this park go here all the time its a perfect place for summer time as it has plenty of shade

Beautiful park

Very clean, facilities well maintained. Great for early morning quick walks.

When in Portland, this old stand of firs is a wonder.

Im pretty sure there was a drug deal going on...it was night but still

Great playground just always shaded. Does not have its own parking lot

This is very family friendly park. With places to picnic and lighting for evening strolls.

Terrible place. Drugs and homeless camp. Dont ever go here!

Playground in a park filled with fir trees. Tons of shade.

I love this park.quite, beautiful.lots of fun for the whole family.

Lots of trees to keep you cool

Trees, treeees!

Nothing really here just another wooded area next to a grade school not a great idea

Nature. Quiet. Beautiful.

Too many off leash dogs in an on leash area.

Nice park

No parking

Cash flow

Its okay

Okay park, not the greatest.

Its simply beautiful

Small neighborhood park

Beautiful little park with old growth trees in the middle of a lackluster neighborhood.
