Beautiful park in the middle of Portland. I was worried about bringing my kids here but it offers all types of terrain and trails that have flat or steep climbs. There is something for everyone. You can walk aimlessly and still not get lost. You can get in your miles for the day while the kids play in the playground. We parked in the visitors center with no problems and sign says gates close at 10pm. Great stop during our stay in Portland.

Nice park in the northeast part of the city with majestic views of the city. Take a stroll and check out the reservoirs, walk through the woods, or train on the many flights of stairs. Sunny days will find plenty of Portlanders hanging out.

I always enjoy taking a walk around this park and the meteor showers make it even more spectacular. Closed to vehicles on Wednesdays.

Love this place. Dog park is amazing - big but fenced and steep, perfect for tiring out the puppy energy. Great hill for big workouts too, whether running or biking. And of course second to none city and sunset views.Only wish is that there were better sunrise views, and the people bombing down on bikes were safer.

Beautiful view on a decent day. I rode my Electric Bike up in Low Power Mode so I could get a nice workout. Peaceful at the top and nice to get away from the crazy downtown Portland area...

There are picnic tables here and there, and playground. Many tall trees. You can even enjoy the night view of Portland. Great place for walking, but hard to find a parking spot.

This is a scenic, quiet place for walking, jogging, and pet exercise. There are several flights of stairs that are great for fitness buffs, and trails that criss-cross all over the hill top, with access to views, tennis courts, and Mt. Tabor Park. There is parking, a playground, and public restrooms in the park. A great place for exercise or picnics.

I need to go there much more often. It was great lots of trails and the roadway is open on Wednesdays for pedestrians. My friend lives nearby and goes everyday. Maybe Ill visit her sometime.

A wonderful place to walk, run or bike. Parking and driving is a bit crazy when its busy but generally has been very easy and free!! Lots of room you can always find a place where noone is! Great views.

Such a beautiful place to hike! The views at the top are amazing and the playgrounds are well kept. I only deducted 1 star because my partner and I had a hard time figuring out where the stocked pond was located and gave up the search; Maybe a few signs would help.

Mount Tabor is essential Portland, and beautiful in all seasons. Really, something for everyone here: hikers, bikers, dogs, kids -- the list goes on. Mt Tabor has hikes for every level (with fantastic views of the city and mountains), tennis courts, and one of the best dog parks around. Make sure to check out the Soapbox Derby in August.Kudos to the staff who keeps this treasure so special, clean and open for all of us to enjoy!

Nice place to relax after a long week of work. Amazing view of the city at the peaks. Very dog friendly.

Beautiful park. Lots of trails, good elevation, picnic tables, restrooms. Parking is free. They close the park to cars on Wednesdays which is pretty cool. My kids love the playground. Lots of people pushing kids in strollers riding bikes, rollerblading, skateboarding or longboarding.

Great place for trail running training. Multiple areas to set up a picnic. Good views overlooking the city and Mt. Hood on a clear day. Off leash dog area.

Perfect amount of nature without a lot of humans. Whats not too love, being surrounded by ancient trees and their mini littles. Restorative.

The best park in SE to get away from some of the more urban landscape in Portland. A nice mix of short hiking trails, biking and running paths, some more natural forest area and maintained grassy open areas.Can be crowded at times but you can usually find a quieter path away from the main gathering spots. If you want to drive here, try to park outside the park and walk in, theres often no parking available.

A well-run park with many interesting sites and attractions. The city Vista is pretty excellent.

Peaceful walk over a dormant volcano in Portland. Though the reservoirs arent in use anymore you can still check them out and get scenic views of the city. Though its visible from almost anywhere in the city, the park feels like a hidden gem. They also have massive dog park there for our friends with paws.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.Thanks for nothing, Jane Austen. Her original quote was better, It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune should buy low on the slopes of Mt. Tabor.An absolute sublime delight on Portlands east side. Or, as Trump would say, Gross.

Mt. Tabor Park: Smack dab in the middle of a neighborhood was this huge park. We took a great hike up to the summit and saw a wonderful view of City Center Portland. These trials were scenic and not that difficult. I really enjoyed this outing. The kids were able to get up and down there trails and completed. Fun, Fun, Fun.

It was pretty cool, a great place to take your dog and allow them to run around without a leash

This is an incredible park. Its an urban, extinct volcano! You can even play basketball in the caldera right next to a lovely outdoor amphitheater near a very nice, wooded playground that stays cool even on the hottest days. Theres miles of trails and two reservoirs.They hold the Adult Soapbox Derby here, but they also have a Boy Scout Soap Box track thats no longer in use.You can walk for hours, find weird nooks and crannies and theres a car-free day very popular with bicyclists and longboarders.

This is a truly stunning and beautiful park situated on a dormant CINDERCONE. There are some nice historic reservoirs here too!The atmosphere is very bucolic and serene. There are many lush fields that are well kept and great for a picnic to watch the sunset

Great spot to watch sunset! Gates close at 10:00pm, so don’t get your car stuck inside! We almost did because we thought the park closed at midnight according to google. We got together with some friends for a social distance picnic & ended up staying till 10:30. We found 1 last gate open so we could leave!

Great park. Lots of paved and unpaved area to walk, run, bike etc. There are several water fountains, for humans and pets, as well as a water bottle filling station. Park hours are until midnight, vehicles need to leave by 10pm. Only issue is with restroom access. There are only a couple available. One set near some ten is courts and picnic area is closed. Another near the visitor center has no locking mechanism for the door onthe stall (mens). The nicest ADA accessible restrooms at the top of the park open to late in the day. Many people come to the park early in the day for their exercise routine and have limited restroom access.

Normally a nice space, but the last time I stopped by (in September 2020), the restrooms by the visitor center are closed. There was a honey bucket. So find somewhere else if you need a rest stop before visiting.

#civilunrest #mkehome This Park is pretty tight!! You can see stuff from up here!! If your out of shape be careful on the stairs!! We don’t need anyone having a cardiac arrest! They may deem the stairs unsafe...

Walking through Mt Tabor park on a cool fall day with clear skies and beautiful autumn colors all around almost made us forget about the giant mess of a year we are in. Looking out with multiple great vantage points and seeing Portland and the great city and area we are in was refreshing and just what we needed.

Great park to walk, run, bike and just enjoy being outside in nature! Lots of space to safety social distance. Multi entrances and exits. Wonderful views of the city!

I love this park. It’s beautiful and big and a great place to workout or have a picnic.

One of the best parklands on the Eastside. Mt tabor has parking lots, playgrounds for kids of all ages, hikes with good incline and an unfenced dog area. If you havent been here, just stop by!

Its one of the best places to hike!

This park is a great park to hang out. They have hiking trails but also have things like a basketball court and a tennis court for those sports lovers. There are many nice places for picnicking as well.

Great place to take a walk with stroller! Beautiful view on top and also great picnic spot

One of the best parks in Portland. Bike, walk, run, hike, picnic, use the tennis courts, explore. Lots of picnic tables and play areas. Who knew a volcano would make such a great park?

The kids love to hike the trails. Huge area to explore, a different adventure each time. Easy to access.

An amazingly natural space for in inner city park. Fabulous views and lovely trails all through it for ambling/hiking at various ability levels.

One of the best places to chill out in Portland. Awesome views, plenty of trails, huge hilltop park. Every 4/20 people smoke here in large groups.

Mt. Tabor, an old volcano in the heart of East Portland, is a very large, beautiful park. Its also a pretty steep park, in places, but its worth it for the scenery and the views. Climb on up and enjoy.

Love to walk the road and trails here, especially now that the road is closed to auto traffic during the pandemic. The uphill provides a challenge while the downhill is relaxing, and big trees and nature all around offer a lovely forest bathing experience.

Nice place!! Even the puppies are well behaved. Everyone says hello. They have clean restrooms. Great place for the kids. They have lots of steps to run up and down for exercise. They have skateboarders who do tricks and fall, it’s quite entertaining. The view is amazing. My husband and I go here for picnics all the time.

Big park, lots of space. Lots of great views. This dingus gives it 25/14 stars.

Best neighborhood park with trails, basketball and tennis courts, and awesome views of the city. Check out the visitor center to get information on all of the gorgeous trees in the park. Great place to walk stairs or go for a run. Parking is located all around the park all the way up to top of Mt Tabor.

My Tabor Park is beautiful park! Beautiful view of downtown Portland, nice plays to go for a walk for a run. play ground for the little ones, basketball court. a lot of people ride longboard, skateboard ride their bikes. big huge tall trees, beautiful park.

Beautiful park with lots of wooded spaces. Head up to the top for an amazing view of downtown Portland.

Super beautiful. Dont go a may of blanket to sit on because this place is majorly lacking benches.

A great place to go for a walk or bike ride. There is a dog park and play ground. Mt. Tabor doesnt have too much litter and is over all clean. There are three old reservoirs and a great views of the city!

Huge, beautiful park with a lot of history. Many times I have come here to relax because it is within walking distance, but I never stumbled upon the restroom and plaque about the history of this park. I had to go find the statue that was sculpted by the person who designed Mt. Rushmore! How cool!You can see half of Portland from this park. Cool sight.

Beautiful is always great place to take your kids for awesome nature walks! Im writing this in June 2020 during Corona virus. Can be very crowded. We have to be very careful not to come into close contact with people because there seem to be so many. If youre driving through, the roads leading up are closed off at the moment. Have to park at the beginning near the front sign on the residential streets.

Great place for picnics, hiking, and just enjoying the view! Love how convenient it is to city life. Great spot!

The views of Portland, west hills, SE side is ahhhhhhmazing. A MUST SEE!Great place to walk my babies, biking walking basketball, picnic, meditation time, or coffee with a friend and catch up.... the list goes on ...

Favorite park in Portland! Awesome views at sunset. Perfect place for a picnic

One the best if not the best park in our beautiful city.

Adorable neighborhood very safe kids playing in the streets like the old days

Best place to view the sunset in Portland. Parking gets wild. Big area to walk in. Picnics are fun there.

This is a beautiful place to go, even with a family. Great hicking area and at the top is a nice place to relax and read a book. Today there was someone playing a sax and it was beautiful and really fun to listen to while reading.

GREAT Park! Beautiful scenic trails, nice view of Portland and surrounding areas.

Nice serene park. Huge area for walking and exercising. The park for kids is a little small but otherwise very nice.

This place is an oasis in SE Portland. Its beautiful to walk though under the tall trees and cool grass. The reservoirs make the area a tad cooler during the summer. Its a great place to walk. PS - Wednesday they close the entire park to motorized traffic so you can walk along the roads and path without worrying about approaching cars.

Always something new up at Mt Tabor. Saw a Chukar up there last weekend!

5 years ago on 1st visit to pdx in 40 years one of my daughters took me to cinder cone and it has been ichiban park ever since ( #1 ), even tho broke wrist ice slip n sliding episode couple of years ago. Magical trails and trees and critters in the city limits.

This dead volcano has some wonderful views, from its west side Portlands metro sky line and on its east peeking through the trees Mt. Hood. Trails for hiking, running or cycling while taking in the beauty of this park thats pretty much everywhere. Great set of stairs that will take you from the street level to its summit. Plenty of amenities, playground, amphitheater, basketball, tennis, picnic tables and benches throughout the park.Only thing I would change about this park if it were up to me Id close it off to motor vehicles always.

Super cute! Lots of space to sit away from people. Shady, perfect for hiking or just getting out

Best place to get a good workout ...nice scenery.... cool vibe

Great place for a picnic, walk, nap...great views of downtown. Everyone observed social distancing and/or were masks.

Took a friend from Salem for a walk in the park. He was able to snap some gorgeous pictures of Portlands fall colors.

The park has many great trails and beautiful views of the horizon one Portland. It’s great to catch a sunset here or take a long walk. There is also a great playground for kids. Just be aware, driving the roads thru and around this park can be a little confusing until you’ve done it a few times!

Lots of trails with trees for the hot days in the summer. The hike up the hill has a rewarding view.

Green Oasis in Portland. Big trees, water, a view and both trails and stroller walkable pavements ... A no brainer short get away in Portland.There are scattered benches, tables and a kids playground. Most people bring their blanket and just my in the grass.

One of the true jewels of Portland. A wonderful place to spend an afternoon or just watch the sunset. Always good people watching.

Thank you portland. Just moved here from kansas city and i get it. Congratulations and thank you for the park. Thank you portland

Huge park with lots of trails and some scenic spots looking out over Portland. Loads of people there walking, running, and biking. I found restrooms at the visitor center, but I think there may be others too.

Excellent place to social distance while enjoying some outdoor time. Close to home and a great place for some walking laps while enjoying the scenery.

Beautiful area with a lot of different route. Even on reading days its nice to take a walk up here. Great views from the top.Its a great place to do hill runs on the road or trails and stair climbs in multiple areas.I usually park on the street on the west side and hoof it up the stairs. There are some parking areas nearby but I havent used them yet.Weve watched some meteor showers up here and it was beautiful. Just make sure you have something to keep the bugs away.

Love this place! Can bring family, your dog or cat! Or relatives that you hate. Do many activities you can do. Paid parking and not paid parking there. Spend the day, enjoy.

Beautiful mountain that seems to be within eyesight of our beaitiful city of Portland. Go here its worth it

Combination of water, woods, greens, picnic area, kids playing area, and many free parking lots makes it worth to spend a hot day or an evening with your friends and family or solo at this gorgeous park.

One of my favorite parks in Portland. Its beautiful and wooded and a great place to catch a sunset or sunrise if you know where to go. Probably the best place to ride your bike if youre looking for a good hilly climb with little traffic. I do laps on a loop that starts at the lower reservoir and goes all the way to the top and back. And Wednesdays are car free! Make sure you pack bug spray in the warmer months to ward off mosquitos.

Great park on the edge of inner SE. The views at the top are incredible; you can see Hawthorne Blvd leading toward the west hills, with the Portland skyline in the background.Lots of cool plants up there too, but beware of poison oak! It grows in random spots off the main trails, so make sure you know what it looks like before wandering too far from the path.Cool fact: Mt. Tabor is an old volcano situated in the middle of Portland. It’s beyond dormant, so there’s no reason to worry while hanging out up there. Just admire the views from atop it’s peak!

Love this park! Been hanging out here since the 80s!

Great park with bathrooms. Lots of people but enough shade to stay cool.

A+ place to hang out even at night. started getting dark ~ 5pm late dec/early jan. flashlight would be recommended. nice place to take walks. there are benches sprinkled around where there are good views of the city.

Gorgeous. Nice (and popular) spot for doing laps on a bike for hill training. Playgrounds, lots of walking paths and trails. Lots of grass and tall trees, bathrooms and at least one picnic shelter.Parking is a pain, especially on weekends, especially when the weather is really good. Much better to arrive on foot if you can.

Gorgeous and very quiet. I could just curl up under the trees here and take a nap. Daisies and clover hawthorne trees as far as the eye can see. The occasional rabbit and woodpecker will hang out with you if youre quiet. Theres a playground in there somewhere, but the trees seem to swallow up all the noise the kids make; they didnt bother me while I was reading at all, and I was there for hours.

Great off leash dog park. Very spacious. Responsible owners

Great place for a walk, whether you want level ground or hill climbing with the reward of a lovely view. The reservoirs are perfect for easy strolling and the hillsides and stairs will get your heart pumping if thats what youre looking for. Climbing will also yield increasingly spectacular viewpoints. The road that goes up the east side of Mt Tabor has a couple of breaks in the trees with one of my favorite views of Mt Hood (about 50 miles away) from anywhere in Portland. Some of the sidewalks and trails get narrower the higher you go, so social distancing can be an issue when you encounter visitors without masks. In more normal times, the adult soapbox derby is a wonderful spectator sport.

A lot of steps take you up to a variety of trails through beautiful tall older trees to a nice panoramic view of the city below. Quiet and lovely. ️

One of my favorite parks in Portland. There is trails for walking and biking and I even see people on skateboards . The view is spectacular. Its also good for running up and down the stairs if you like running .

My dog was a rescue, came with anxiety issues from previous family. Today we visited this beautiful favorite (of mine, solo), together! It was awesome and she did great!!

Very busy park! Great views and a nice escape from the city (but you dont have to leave the city)

Tons of trails for walking or running and beautiful views of the city

Took my kids for a stroll. So beautiful

Great place to hike or bike (lots of uphill challenges!) Also had a great time watching local fireworks on the 4th of July.

If you are looking for some in city nature, people watching, picnic sitting, place to play, playgrounds, and sunset viewing this park is wonderful. There are big hills for riding down, playgrounds for playing, bathrooms, trails, and views of Portland to satisfy!

The stairs are endless, great place to chill out, beautiful cherry blossom every year, usually late March. Love the tennis court and basketball court is always busy.Biking is another activity I want to try.

Trails everywhere (mostly dirt) with stairs for all steep sections. One flush toilet restroom building. Quite busy on the Sunday afternoon in August when we visited. The lakes are fenced off reservoirs. The dog park is only partially fenced and all bare dirt. The density of homeless people was very low.

This is, by far, my favorite park in Portland, and there is lots of competition in this city for fabulous parks. The walk up is strenuous enough for me to get a work out. It’s also a great place to take pictures!

The north staircase is the best way to the top!

The dog park area is decent and th trails are pretty easy

Take the stairs on twos for a good wake up.
