Powell Park is still a bright, busy park, as it always had been.There is a port a potty right now in lieu of the bathrooms being closed. There is a dry small homeless presence later in evening, but not of any significance.

We parked on the street to eat our meal, very few people in the park and the park was manicured and appeared clean.

Next to a very busy road. Lots of traffic noise. Today I was there and someone walked by and grabbed my friends bag and then kept walking as if we wouldnt notice. Got the bag back. Long story short, its a good park, just be careful.

This is just a nice basic little park next to where I work. Nothing super special but all you need for some fun or relaxation....baseball field, basketball court and small playground. Its also surrounded by HUGE oak trees so its a nice oasis in a densely populated area.

The park itself was fine. Disappointed with staff communication. My daughter had called & reserved the covered area for a party for 10:30 Saturday. Got there & building was locked. After several phone calls someobe showed up at 1pm to unlock. By then too late as party was almost over & we set up in grass. Nobody at park bureau told us we needed to pick up key. Weather was great & 5year old grandson had great time with his friends. Restroom was dirty & had used needles in it. Very disappointed in City of Portland & how they run things. Doug who came out was very nice & did clean up the restroom

The park on the 26th end is safe. The 22nd end is occupied by homeless that blocks the sidewalk with trash and items. The homeless keeps on coming back despite the illegal campsite notices.

Powell Park is a cool little park at the baseball diamond and a little bit of a walking area. Theres a small playground including a little Merry-Go-Round for kids to spin on and teeter totters. I raided three stars because of its location not the cleanest place not dangerous but also not the safest. It is right off of Powell so its easy to find.there is no Park parking but you can park along the side on a side street near businesses and some homes. Last I was there I parked along the side of the park and there was some used needles on the ground on with an empty pack. Hence why I mentioned it wasnt the cleanest. The playground area seemed to be free of any harmful left-behind items.

Fantastic park. Baseball field, Nike basketball court, play structures, and plenty of walking paths! So many huge trees to walk under and admire. I love this park, its in the center of the Portland area, so easy to access, and easy to miss! Its a large park with on street parking in a busy part of town.

Took a pup I was house/pet sitting here with a bag of random toys and a 50 Foot log leash. I do like the park and their is amble room to run. Downside? People hang out by the fences with bags of stuff and watch you- gave me erriy feeling. We didnt stay long unfortunately.

Better known for drug deals then as a place for sports and the like. Permanent homeless camps on the Western edge add to the dis-ease.

I like the drugs and sex. Lives up the place. What I dont like are entitled, whining reviewers who expect the homeless problem in this city to just solve itself whilst posting happy feels signs in their yard about how they are tolerant of other people. You dont get to pick and choose when it comes to humanity...

I used to take walks on my lunch here until it started to fill up with campers.I once walked past someone making a spit volcano which stayed in the middle of the sidewalk for a few days. Not very appetizing...When my young daughter comes to visit me on my lunch we used to go for walks in the park until I found a needle in the bushes...I used to eat lunch on the bleachers on nicer days but the rats are a little aggressive since there is so much trash...It really bothers me that this is a place for kids, next to a high school and I see drug use, discarded needles, and people who think this is their own trash dump!Not a great park but it does seem to be the norm for the inner Portland parks.

Great Camping along the MyersCorp fence-line, but set up early to claim anything close. Forget the spots against the fence, for many years each has enjoyed a waiting line full of top PDX camping legends, take it from me, you aint got a chance.Another tip for you MF-line seekers is... Up with the Sun! Sure theres plenty of room for you and your peeps along the wide path. And you cant believe its after sunset and not one camper has claimed any of it.Thats because the local Powell Park regulars know that the guy that aims the sprinklers in the ballpark, hates that the big tent & sleeping bag makers keep getting away with calling their cheap stuff water resistant, and the average 1st time tent buyer falls for their lies. Soaking you with water about 4 AM is his idea of getting the truth out.Speaking of the great staff, l hope Portland has quite a gold watch planned for the one fella brave enough to do the scheduled servicing on the parks famous HoneyBucket.No telling what you will see when you force open that door, ignoring that red occupied indicator, after 20 minutes of hoping to wake the tweeker nodding inside. The city should at least provide him with body armor and pay for his disposable nose plugs.

I work next to Powell City Park, and walk around it often. It is not the nicest of parks, but it is a change from staring at a computer screen all day. Students from Cleveland High School can often be found here usually just hanging out, but often playing sports too. There are sometimes a lot of small children playing in the playground. I think some of them might be from a local daycare. There are also a lot of homeless people that hang out in Powell City Park. They seem to have been successful in discouraging the camping that use to happen frequently. For a highly used park on an incredibly busy street it isnt a such a bad spot. I would not, however, visit it if I wasnt already in the neighborhood. It isnt a destination.
