Nice park with a baseball field, large grassy area and well outfitted playground. They even have a bathroom and some picnic tables. But by far the best thing about this park is that it is one of the entrances to the trails through the Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge, which is a beautiful short urban hike.

Big trees and lots of fun things to do, including: the best playground around, a public pool, tennis courts and a tennis wall, a baseball diamond, horseshoe, and great views of downtown and the mountains from the bluff on a clear day!

Always a great day with the pup at Sellwood. A little crowded on a warm Sunday but still pretty great.

Plenty of room for a long walk. Enough field area to play catch or let the dogs run.First time visiting this area it looked like a high end dog park.Almost all dogs brought here are friendly, open and social with other dogs and humans.Do use caution when bringing any leash aggressive dogs to this area.Many people will have their dogs off leash before you arrive.

Its a wonderful park with a great view of the Willamette River and downtown Portland. But to clear up any confusion, they dont sell wood there.

My first time going. Went to my hubbys company picnic. Its a very beautiful park. I love the fact its clean and very fur baby friendly.The only concern was the hornets. They was really really bad. Maybe hang the hornet traps just a thought. If the park and recreation would do it.And to the ranger who came by thanks for the laughs

Beautiful location with a friendly surrounding neighborhood. You can access the amusement park from a pathway leading from this park. You can also access a river from a path heading in a different direction. There is plenty to explore and enough space for a large family gathering.

Have been coming here every summer since time immortal for a Simone family gathering, & you can immediately see the difference living in an affluent area makes, as everything is beautiful & well kept. Swimming pool, playground, rentable bbq areas, a few kinds of sports fields/tennis courts,& grassy picnic spots throughout treed trails.

This place is great. It’s fenced about 80% which is awesome since it is on the street. But luckily not a busy one. Lots of great structures, probably ten different areas. Plus access to great hiking trails. Always a great time. Definitely recommend for families with kiddos of all ages!

Beautiful park. There are picnic tables, benches, and bathrooms. Perfect place to bring kids, bring your dogs, or have a party. There is a playground, a see-saw, there are bike paths in certain areas, as well as off leash parts for dogs. There are tennis courts, baseball fields, and a horseshoe field. Great place to go

Nice place to play. You can play lots of sports here. And go swimming. Its a shady spot during summer, that way the playground would be safe to play on. It doesnt get too hot.

Review №31

A lovely, densely wooded park overlooking the river. A wonderful place for playing, picnics, jogging, biking, sightseeing, whatever. There were a ton of robins flitting about today. There are plenty of benches and picnic tables. If you have kids or are young at heart, there are swings and a play structure. Come here at sunrise or sunset for magnificent views.

A lot of older equipment here meaning that the swings and slides are bigger than they make them these days. They also have seesaws which I dont see very often very nice touch.Its in a beautiful wooded park with a nice little nature walk and field nearby. Bathrooms and some water right next door and its next to the swim center for the community. A nice regular park.

This is a lovely park. The seasonal pool is beautiful and well kept. There are plenty of lockers and the facilities are great for summer swim lessons for kids.

Such a wonderful park. Lots of swings, slides and swing sets. There are baseball facilities and lots of picnic tables. Lots of big trees so it heavily shaded. There is a dog exercise area near by.

Review №45

A perfect, traditional park with stands of stunning mature Doug Firs, large open lawn areas, a couple baseball fields, and a nice playground with play structures to fit a range of ages. Its a fun spot for a picnic, outdoor play, or taking a quiet stroll to enjoy the beauty of Portland. The Sellwood Community Pool is right on the south edge of the park, which is open Memorial Day through Labor Day.

This park had a really large playground with lots of fun stuff in it. The kids (age 8-13) enjoyed the large slide, the tire swing, regular swings, teeter totter, and other equipment. The bathroom nearby was closed. The playground is nicely shaded. Theres a pool and a nice kids friendly hiking trail here as well.

Review №47

This is a pretty big Park great for holding large events. I went there for a company party and it was pretty nice and they have some great shaded picnic areas. A huge baseball field but only a small playground. The porta potties were clean and even the restroom they have at the park. Even the grass was pretty green in some places which thats impressive during the summer time. If Im ever in the area I definitely will take my dogs here and go for a nice walk around the park

Review №48

Its the best park in Portland, well Sellwood anyway, grew up in this park practically. The summertime is the best you have the pool , concerts in the park, and it offers plenty of shade in the heat, and it also has a path to Oaks park and Oaks wildlife refuge

Na
Review №49

Really neat pool, very good for the Sox and under crowd. The park has a lot of green space and good shaded areas to beat the heat. Although it is near the road, the majority of the active play areas are really well defined, and makes it is a safe place to play without worrying too much about kids inadvertently running into traffic.

Had a really good time yesterday with my family yesterday evening. There was quite a bit of people, but not so many that you had to wait an hour to ride on the rides. It was nice! The workers where pleasant and helpful. This summer Oaks Parkhas specials going on all days of the week. Sunday -Sunday.

Review №65

Sellwood Park is really neat. Its right by the river and oaks Park amusement Park. From sellwood Park you get a pretty good view of oaks Park amusement which has roller skating, pretty fun rides, carnival games and of course my favorite sweet of all the sweets, cotton candy. The park offers trails to walk that are friendly for families, walking dogs, walking alone (as far as I know). Theres a dock you can walk out onto the river (wouldnt suggest swimming considering it is the Willamette) with houseboats. The houseboat owners are all nice for my experience, as long as youre respectful when on the dock. Ive met a lot of really really friendly people walking their dogs as well it seems like a place that people go to just enjoy themselves and easily pass on the enjoyment to others.

I was pretty impressed with the park itself. Its a lovely setting for a day out. The toys were well kept and the kids had a good time. The bathrooms left a lot to be desired, though. No soap, no way to dry my hands. It wasnt good. Its a pretty place, though.

This is a great park with everything you need for a fun outing with the kids. Restrooms, one of the best playgrounds around, large fields for running or kicking a ball. The huge trees keep the park shady and cool in the summer too! There’s a path for walking or riding things on. Parking is decent too, both street parking and a lot on one end.
