This park is great for hanging out with friends or playing volleyball. It used to be much more run down, but over the years it has really improved. The landscaping isn’t always up to par, but if you are willing to look past that then bring somePeople or have a picnic here. It’ll be worth it with the great views of Portland.

Literally just a single tree and sign. Its more of a 1 minute stop to take a quick pic and then thats about it. But its still pretty cute!

Its a cute park, but its fairly dirty. I understand, things are hectic in Portland, and now the fires, but Id have hoped theyd be on top of cleaning it up better.

Quirky - but get a grip people, lets not be giving out false information about walking dogs and playing volleyball. Thats not irony.

Please keep your eye on traffic while looking at this park. There should be a barricade around this small park to protect visitors

Cutest little park Ive ever been too. Great leprechaun vibes. Highly recommend going to see yourself as it is a Guinness world record holder.

This is a typical Portland tourist attraction, clever but generally useless. It used to be a place for a light post and now its just a patch of dirt. Occasionally someone decorates it with small toys. There is a sign claiming to be the worlds smallest park. The park is in the middle of a busy road. Be careful not to get hit while you get the obligatory selfie in front of the sign. Note to parents: dont leave your kids here to play. They would probably get hit by a car.

Small park in the middle of downtown, perfect place to walk your dog... or maybe a quick getaway.

Too big. I got lost. A map or a tour guide or something would be helpful. I walked around for hours lost in this park. I was thankful I found the exit.

This park is awesome. Yes, it is just 1 tree, but it is the most unique and interesting park Ive ever been to. I debated going since it was so small, but once I got there, it was totally worth it. There was something so enchanting about visiting this sweet little park.

This is supposed to be the smallest park in the world and it’s amazing! Blink and you’ll miss it while crossing the road!Only in a city like Portland you’d find something creative and witty like this! It’s a fun landmark and I hope it keeps being the smallest public park for a long time!Definitely worth visiting as it seems to change throughout seasons!

Mi
Review №30

Can’t really call this a park, since it’s one tree or bush with concrete around it. It’s worth seeing driving or biking by it. Don’t make a special trip to see the “smallest park in the world”. This is the sort of thing that embodies the keep Portland weird culture of the city. If you like novelties this might be your cup of tea. Otherwise, prepare to be disappointed.

Saw the smallest park in the world. It was actually kind of funny to see it in person. It was a nice location to take a walk. It was the perfect place to see the bridges.

Great little (and I mean, Little) park near Portlands Riverfront. Very easy to miss, as its literally in the middle of the street. The sign is adorable. Read up on its history online - otherwise you might not understand what the fuss is about.

Review №40

It’s an adorable idea, but when we went, all the plants were dead, and they had fake flowers in the planter. It’s also sketchy since it’s in the middle of the road. Lol

Review №41

One of the most amazing parks Ive ever visited! :)) or maybe it felt best because of the company I had with me that day? In any case, it was a wonderful experience visiting this place, especially since I had built up quite some expectations. Do yourself a favor and visit this grand place; have a laugh, take some great shots and leave the place clean and protected. Remember, be respectful of nature and all that is in it, no matter the size.

Fun funny and completely emblematic of P-Towns true, atomic level, genetic maybe quirk! When your weirdness is so grand you legislate it...mmmmmm my town.

Review №48

Saying it’s a little park is an understatement!IT’S THE SMALLEST PARK IN THE WORLD.If you’re driving on Naito Parkway, don’t blink because you’ll miss it. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve passed right by without noticing it.It’s only two feet in diameter but is large in character!You can add that to the World’s Shortest River (it’s contested of course) which can be found in Lincoln City, OR and the World’s Smallest Navigable Harbor, Depoe Bay, OR (both of which I’ve also reviewed).

This park is just and amazing plases to visit. It has one of the mostgrand tree i have ever seen and me and my friends had a lovely picnic there... although one of them got ran over while we where eating. Smh people are so rude these days. The docter said that he may not walk again which is like...lame because how are we supost to have anymore picnics. but over all great place :)

Most fun I have had in a park in a long time. Well kept and no trash.

Review №51

So easy to miss! I want to say its more of a historical oddity than anything, but it definitely has its charm. Its not in a busy or central place like youd imagine, but just kinda shows up out of nowhere. It seems very well taken care of, and is right at a crosswalk, so you cant realy stay at it. All in all, very enchanted and endearing.

Review №52

It was easy to find the world’s smallest park on Google Maps. If you visit, watch out for traffic, it’s in the middle of the road.

Impressed. This place is huge, I love the rivers, and the nature feel to it. I brought my whole family here, it is so big and nice. So much to see! Okay, but jokes aside I hope to go here, its just funny how its so small. Ive been to Portland multiple times but Ive just heard of it.

This place is literally a small patch of land. Thats it. The plant is sometimes changed out but my friend and I came here just for fun and its the funniest thing int he world. I love taking my friends here because its just so unique and so Portland.

Told my wife i was taking her to a world famous park and she should wear her walking shoes. Got there and once she understood why we were in the middle of a crosswalk she was dying laughing. Such a fun spot on a nice day.

Lovely experience .... worlds smallest part in the heart of Portland, Oregano

Review №76

As it is in the middle of a crosswalk, you have oncoming traffic in both corrections with no pedestrian crosswalk button to get out. Therefore, it is also dubbed the worlds most dangerous park per square foot.

There wasnt much in the center of the park, as Ive seen in previous photos, compared to mine (mid-April 2019). Still cool to see the worlds tiniest park in the flesh.

This is the smallest park in the world!!! is located downtown Portland next to the water front, I went to go have a picnic there to check it out, once I got there I realized that is not only literally in the middle of the street but its so small you can hug it!!! if you havent been there across the street from there theres a plaque with the park history you can read about.
