Difficult to find a parking spot. No picnic areas. But this is a great location to view Mount Saint Helens and Mount Hood from the same spot. Also, the hillside homes on stilts are amazing!

Another beautiful not to be missed. When you are visiting Portland, Oregon. It gives an amazing of the city

So beautiful! We did a photoshoot here and it was perfect! I gave it one less star because of all the trash all over. But truly such a gorgeous place!

It is a perfect place to bring a blanket and have a picnic there is a 360 view of Portland you can see all the mountains from the view point there isnt much parking during the day such a beautiful view from way up top you can see the planes flying to the Airport its fun to watch

It was very smokey from the surrounding fires but you can tell the views would be spectacular otherwise from this park

Wild hidden gem in the deep Northeast. Rad old design similar looking to mount Tabor. Great 360 view of the valley. The road is also a lovely bike ride, both ways!

Very beautiful park with good view to mt hood and other mountains on a clear day. Can see planes landing too.

Gorgeous views of the cascade mountains and Columbia River. A lovely drive ends at the top of the Butte with a very short, somewhat steep walk to the park. Once at the park there are plenty of places to spread out on the lawn, but very few benches and no picnic tables. The views are amazing!

This is definitely a hidden gem in the community!

Beautiful views and scenery, and crazy views of the smoke during Oregon wildfire

In all my 24 years in Portland, I never had the occasion to go check out the views from Rocky Butte. Rockys Butt , the joke your inner child, that is, ny inner child cant resist making. In all honesty I didnt know there was a view to take in. Not only that, but from an old turn of the 19th century military fortress built by a local wayward school for boys that was taken over by an old army veteran who probably charged up the hill with Teddy and his rough and ready cabinet members. And you thought Trumo was abrasive? I digress, pardon.so what brought me up to this really neat relic was a suggestion by a gentleman who was out taking photos of Portlands nightlife and easy going culture that wont stop for any anarchist or any fascists for that that matters . My buddy and I find time to work on a collaborative effort to crank out Beatles and Monkees, Don and Phil Everly (Im Don... oh, Im Tommy Roe,too. and I can be either John or Paul and I digress once again. sorry. its 11/11/22... and its getting colder out. this guy took a few pictures and tipped us $20 Quid and we started talking. my friend and I usually find time later in the evening so we go to spots furthest away from houses so not to disturb your slumber. He says theres a Sax player that plays in the tunnel up by the old fort on Rocky Butte... too easy, Ill pass, lol... oh sure sounds swell to me abs the day after my friend flew out to record an album, I went to investigate. hmmm. ok, this tunnel has great potential for throwing a rave. twist and turn. I didnt intend to go all the way to the fort, I was just cruising, enjoying the brisk air. then I came to it. man, this thing was a lot bigger than I imagined... mainly cause I wasnt . I forgot the part about the fort. that would be a chill place to play and perhaps make some DIY music videos. you can see all 5 or 7 mountains in a good day and theres a keystone compass pointing to all the interests. it was a bit too blustery to play. I had brought my mandolin along. Ill surely be back though. and that is how I ended up upon Old Rockys Arse in the middle of a cold Autumn night. cheers!

Its a beautiful view no matter what time of year it is!

S.O.O.S. So Out Of Shape. Hiked around Rocky Butte for a half hour including these stairs, four times, going up. Much needed. Losing my pogo stick goat legs.

Was beautiful and easier to see the fires around us...

Took a girl there on a date to watch the sunset. We kissed. 5 stars. Would definitely recommend

GORGEOUS park, at all times of the year!

Went to view Neowise Comet. You would think that a big once in a lifetime event, the lights, especially the bright beacon keeping aircraft from crashing into it, would have been dimmed a bit for viewing. Didnt matter after the fact, since Neowise perhaps got stage fright and didnt show while we were there.

Nice views and rock wall surrounding the top. It can be a bit unkept with some garbage at times. Both the upper vertical wall and lower angled wall below can be used for bouldering.

So beautiful here. Love coming up here.

A lovely view! Be aware that theres little parking on busy days.

Great views of the city. We still need justice for Tete however!!! She was murdered here and our city still treats it like a suicide.

This park has spectacular views and gorgeous old walls and lamps.

Wonderful night time adventure if you would like to see Portland from a distance with all its glamorous lights. Very picturesque.

Beautiful view , it was windy but still a nice place to go and clear your mind

Great place to get away without actually having to leave.

Amazing view of the Portland valley and mountains surrounding it. Great to go for a sunrise and sunset. Late evenings usually youngsters sitting in the cars enjoying the view of the city...

From the park you can see parts of Portland but as usual (for Portland) you really canot se much. It is still nice placevto visit.

So beautiful. So grateful for these places

Very nice view as well as good weather and a very pretty place to have a picnic

Great views. If its not too cloudy you should be able to see the mountains

A beautiful vista of the whole area. If youve never been up here, find a (rare) sunny day and go. Head up early to miss the rush. (Brunch picnic, not lunch)Local treasure.Check it out, sez me.

Great 360 degree view!

On a clear day, this is the best place to get a good view of both Mt. Hood and Mt. St. Helens. Never crowded, and its a beautiful drive to the top of Rocky Butte!

Very nice excellent place to spend as a family and bring your girlfriend

Amazing view anytime, thunderstorm watching or a picnic on a warm day

Amazing View and well maintained property

Excellent location for viewing much of Portland from above. Downtown is largley obfuscated by trees and the trees all around the butte are starting to get tall enough that the views will be dwindling all around in the coming years.

Unusual spot to visit, the old building & foundation is really cool. Best part about this place is the unbelievable views of Portland. Absolutely beautiful houses to see on the drive up to park. Lots of walking paths too.

Nice beautiful panoramic view

Beautiful place to hangout with family and friends

Gorgeous views all the way around the city!! Never even heard of this place till today. Been coming to Portland for 10 years now.

You can see all over portland and surrounding area beautiful veiw

Loved it lots of nice photos

Nice views and never crowded. You have to park on the street and walk uphill a half block or so.

Gorgeous views

Such an amazing place to see the city, 360° views day and night.

Great PDX scenery views when theres some sun, not ideal to visit during rainy winter times though.

I love the view and its such a great walk and to watch the city lights and sunset

Beautiful place the city views.

The top of a volcano!Get ready to rumble!Bring binoculars and comfortable chair.

Awesome view!

Memory of COV-19 still not yet gone.

Great place to spent in the sun. Great view of Mt. Hood

Moon rise is beautiful

A lovely romantic spot with breathtaking views of the city. Nicely gravelled paths leading up the hill. Well maintained strictures. The down sides: street parking only, people littering at the bottom of the hill, a few people getting drunk & unruly, no restrooms.

Great Views. Fun ride up.

My favorite place to by freedom and wild seew the view its perfect

Great view point for all of the various buttes and mountains.

Good park for picnic or evening veiw.

It was gorgeous as usual. I have been occasionly coming up here pretty much my whole life. My wife and I and been enjoying the sun sets together for 12 yrs here. After 12 years together date night consist of good conversation and tacos lol

Awesome view cool chill spot!!!

Absolutely breathtaking jaw dropping place to either share with friends or clear your head whatever the case.

Very awesome views of Portland!

Great little park on top of a Butte. Terrific views of Mt. Hood and Mt. Saint Helens. You can also kind of see downtown Portland through the trees and there is a clear view of the Fremont Bridge to the west. The park looks kind of like a fortress, with parking surrounding the top citadel area where you can walk around. It is pretty exposed and there was a significant chilly east wind blowing when I went up, so wear a sweater. Its an easy park to access from NE and SE Portland. There didnt seem to be any trails surrounding the park, so its not so great if your looking for a hike. Everyone is there for the view, and its pretty small so not really ideal for a picnic either.

Had never been here before even though Ive lived in the area for 3 years now. I had a friend mention it late at night and figured why not. It was quite cold as it had just snowed the day prior but it was really beautiful and I really enjoyed the views. Definitely worth a trip if you havent been to it and honestly even if you are just visiting I highly recommend this place, especially at night as there are great views of the city and the mountains too depending on time of day and visibility.

Great view especially on 4th of July if theres room lol

Great views of the city! I want to go back at night to see all the city lights.

Great view place over the area. Love the stairs

Beautiful place tho visit with your significant other.

Reminiscent of incarceration and confinement with a view of a train called MAX & a road with the number 205 and stripes kinda black stripes on grey and a lovely blue sky ? Hmmm IDK throw in some grass and you now have green and red a little purple too. Hey this place is kinda fun , nothing really to do , I got the munchies how about you ? Ahhh wrong kinda park, I get it , Im buzzed like Bugs Bunny and the swine friend of his ...the Pig dude, dep dep dats all folks ! 5 on the view worth the admission fee.

The view here is amazing on a clear day or night. Always a little rif-raff in the park, but have never had any personal trouble with it.

Great place to get away the view is amazing

Great view point minutes from downtown

Still has the beautiful views I remember from 15-20 years ago.

Had one of my best times of my life here back in the 80s

This hilltop edifice offers the best views in the Portland area.

Fantastic Vista

The view is still remarkable!

Amazing view, perfect spot to hang out with close relatives or people you love most

Been there forever but still the best place to view the area on a clear day

Great views!!

Local in there with my baby tonight. Thats romantic Portland..

This place has beautiful views of all of Portland!

Beautiful place with an incredible view!

Amazing views of city lights in the evening and mountain peaks on clear sunny days.

Beautiful views!

Just Beautiful.....

Its an amazing place. Beautiful scenery of hood and helens.The love of my life showed me on our first date!

Trying not to put people on this. So Ill say its a gross park with a horrible view.

Nice, sorta unknown, lookout. Able to see all of Vancouver, Camas, North Portland, and there is a small gap in the trees for a view of downtown pdx.

Best views in the city! Especially right at sunrise or sunset. An essential Portland experience.

We see the veiw

This park is a beautiful lookout area and landmark. Whether youre exploring the area, going for a walk, or looking to take some photos, this is a great place to stop and enjoy.

Nice place, nice view. Any time of the day. Superb at night

The view is amazing the drive on the way is pleasant. Great place for a picnic in the middle of a busy city.

Beautiful area and such fantastic views!

Nice views, but they shut off most of the parking area.

Love this place. Tis the top of the world

Not a lot in the way of creature comforts but the best views in Portland

Gorgeous 360 view of downtown Portland, St Helens, the Columbia Gorge and Mt Hood.
