Perfect place to get some fresh air. Besides the overwhelming homeless around its still nice. No one bothers you. Great place to read and first dates.

Very nice for walking and hiking. A little bit noisy due to traffic. Be careful about bird’s poops

Lovely place to chill during the summer. Plenty of space and ample tree cover. Just be sure to bring a blanket as seating is limited.The northern portion isnt as nice, I generally prefer staying a few blocks south of Burnside.

Gorgeous place to watch the cherry blossoms. The colors during a bright sunny day are amazing and worth the wait. This beautiful spectacle only happens once a year and lasts for two weeks but its so worth it! Families come here with their kids and walk around or just sit under the shade of a tree and relax. Tourists can also be seen here as well as couples and friends just meeting for a chat. Others come here to run or bike around and be weird. It is lovely and just what Portland is all about.

A perfect day with a perfect guy! One of the few things that makes Portland worth it.

This park was beautiful your dog would love it, if youre one of those people that walk your cat to your cat will love it.A bunch of places that you can take your girlfriend to or your boyfriend too and have a picnic. Theres some playgrounds there that you can let your kids play on.Theres a plenty of Pokemon stops in Pokemon around if you want to play Pokemon while youre there.I hope you enjoy yourself while youre there. Please if you would follow me or like my review it would really help me cuz Im trying to move up with my Google badges. It will also encourage me to do more used go to other places to try other things.

This is a great park - wonderfulviews and a nice place to visit when in Portland, especially on a sunny day. Unfortunately it is also filled with homeless and there is tons of evidence of drug use all around, which unfortunately makes it not very family friendly. It is unfortunate, but dont think well be visiting any time soon with our two small kids.

Bittersweet memories here.. miss slingin them 20 dollar dimebags to the despos when their dealer flakes em off.. aah.. good times! F

This is one of the places that really makes Portland. The views are phenomenal and its very walkable. The bridges are all unique. Theres a marina on the South end of the path, and shops/ restaurants. Further north on the roughly one mile walk theres boat rides. Ive been on a jetboat, and Portland Spirit river cruise. On a clear day its wonderful, but always worth seeing.

I had a very pleasant run here. I ran alone and wasn’t bothered at all. There are multiple loops you can take if you cross the bridges in the area. The path is shared by bikers so it’s important to be aware of their presence. The views of the river from the banks and from the bridges were lovely even in the cold and rain. I didn’t see very many bathrooms or any water fountains in the park.

38 junky needles at 1149am.Kids play here not cool. Called Portland parks, no one answered.Now I have dispose of them. I kids and dont want any accidents.Portland clean your junkies and or your streets.What a shame. This was my favorite spot

A decent easy trail for walks, running and jogging in the city of Portland. When I visited 3 weeks back on a Sunday night it was all dirty and trash everywhere.

Great place to go for a peaceful walk. On weekends, there is the market on the north end. Popular place for joggers.There are a lot of homeless here but they didnt bother me. They kept to themselves, although they take up a lot of the benches.

Cuz Im PTOWN born and raised. Also maybe cuz It was a most gorgeous day to be out walking the waterfront.

Was enjoyable walking along the Willamette River. Plenty of walking room and big fields for picnics

I loved the area on the marina, close to the Marriott Hotel, was with grandkids, getting ski doo rides

Nice place and I love the Goose they are so calm and friendly

Weekends are best to go, as the market is on. Lots of local vendors and musicians around.Have wonder over the market, everyone is really friendly and is not trying to push you to buy anything, as I enjoy this very much.Try the elephant ears with cinnamon sugar.

Great place to get some sun, people watch or jog!

Beautiful scenery. Got to visit for the 4th of July 2020. The view is just unbelievable and people were behaving.

I love it here. It’s very calming and relaxing. Lots of cool wildlife. Go boating if you can! What a wonderful experience out there! It’s just beautiful. So much more to see if you are out on the river. This place is so beautiful ️

Late March/early April is the best time to go. Trees were in full bloom. Went on a Saturday and it was very very busy. Dont plan on taking many pictures if you dont want people in the background because it was packed.

Love going there anyday. Needless to say, spring is so so beautiful and the cherry blossoms are icing on the cake!

Beautiful waterfront property and view of bridges is excellent at night with the lights shining off the water.

The Saturday market sets up on the North end of this Riverwalk below the Burnside bridge. It offers excellent views of east Portland. There are plenty of places to grab a quick bite just across the street.

I used to do long walks with friends or sometimes by myself just to relax and connect with the surrounding, very nice place

Excellent gathering place for hundreds of different events during the year, from dragon boats to music festivals to rallying points. Tom McCall waterfront park is very versatile!

Love the waterfront. Great place to run, walk, ride a bike or just sit and enjoy the view

Nice waterfront park with great walking pathways.

Great place to walk the dog on a Saturday morning or afternoon

The dream of the 90s skit from Portlandia was filmed here, so yeah, i totally love this place!

It would be a beautiful place but the city has let the homeless sleep wherever they want so you see bums, yes bums because I have been homeless before but I found a way to stay clean and get a job so I could get out of the situation but these people are filthy and they litter and have no respect for others or the city itself, so they are all over this park and the streets nearby. And the streets smell like piss. Its so sad that this area is like this. It could be so much more.

It was a fun day renting a bike and seeing all the wonderful people of Portland, Oregon

Great place to bring family and pets, or enjoy lunch for downtown employees. Do checkout the Cherry Blossoms in mid March to start of April. They are towards the north in front of American Japanese Historic plaza.

Lovely place in downtown. Its a awesome place to visit during Cherry Blossom season.

Excellent community gathering spot! Great food and amazing city sights! Great place for a jog or coffee on a bench!

Street people and trash all over. Not a place to bring the family for a picnic. Very sad to see such a historic and beautiful place in such disarray. I posted pictures of what I saw the day I was here. Masks on the sidewalk all over the place and mentally ill or drunk people wondering around or sleeping on benches. Get it together Mayor Ted Wheeler.

Always a great place for walks. Lots of people watching and sometimes the random crazy going on. Good old Portland keeping it weird!

Went to the Portland Winter Light Festival. This waterfront is always participating in fun things like this, Rose festival, etc. You can walk on bridges and even take small cruise boats!

I love Portland OREGON. And I love the water front especially in the summer! Me and my boyfriend always take walks on the waterfront! The Saturday market is super interesting every weekend! You never know what to expect from the people of PDX! KEEP PORTLAND WEIRD!

Went there for Saturday Market! We had fun with delicious Food!!! Go check it.

The Saturday market was amazing. Great gift shopping and food to eat and the river is right there

Nice place to talk a quick walk in city...free!

Beautiful view. Great for people-watching.

Has to be one of the best downtown parks in the country. On sunny days that is. Its like everybodys there. Parking is a pain but the walk there is worth it. The city is remarkably clean, even with all of the outside rural living quarters found throughout. Everyone loves being out doors.

Always a great place to participate in a demonstration! Was there to support the teachers in an effort to get the state legislation passed for full school funding.

This park is so nice. Great views the whole way. Wide walking & biking paths allow plenty of space for transportation. There are only a few spots with bad traffic noise but mostly the nose is drowned out by either the river or public fountains and wading areas. Tons of friendly geese and pigeons at all times of day. Not aggressive like some birds in other parks - bring some grain for them and they love you!There are a few urban camping enthusiasts in the park, but none that seemed threatening. Maybe it was just due to the sunny weather, but everyone seemed chilled out and happy to enjoy the park.

We walked through the park on our way to the Saturday morning market. Its very well kept and has a nice walk along the river. I dont know what accommodations it has as far as picnic tables or restrooms. But a nice walk nonetheless.

Beautiful scenery and great pokemon go area

Nice place to relax on week-ends

Although the Tom McCall Waterfront Park had an absolutely gorgeous view of the two bridges and the water, the atmosphere was less than ideal. The grass was super dry and gross. I saw lots of glass and animal poop, which made me weary the walk or sit in the grass. It was worth visiting for the view, but it isnt a place I would want to hang out.

Nice place to walk around and on May 5 you can enjoy the celebration as I did this day

If you like a view of a river with more city on the other side, then its nice. Lots of homeless hang around or camp underneath the bridges in the area, but most are harmless and mind their own business. Its a nice place to walk, bike, jog, picnic, and take your kids for park related activities.

Under utilised area of riverbank (was hoping to enjoy cafe by the river). Nice park. Bike hire available. Just felt it was missing something.

A little meet and greet with the Corridor Digital crew. Its refreshing to meet some You Tubers who work hard, can carry on a meaningful conversation with youth and give solid advice to their followers.

I absolutely love the waterfront! Wether you are going down there for a lovely stroll, or a specific venue, it cant be beat! There is almost always something happening down there! Ive been down there on a multitude of occasions, but most recently I went for the pride festival 2017!! It was such a spirited event filled with love and kindness all around! Of course right along the waterfront like every weekend(March through Christmas eve) was Saturday market! Which we also paid a visit to for some amazing food!! Great sights, sounds, smells. Handmade items for sale, what more could you ask for! All around great experience!I guess the only thing I would warn anyone about would be plan on paying to park, and walking alot!! Or taking public transit. Be prepared to see quite a few homeless people around because they are around down there, but they are no bother, they are actually friendly!

2019 Waterfront Blues Festival. One of the best times and experiences in Portland.

Beautiful place..just lots of homeless people in the area:/

Nice place to visit the river and take a stroll.

Great walkways along the river, but the open green spaces get pretty torn up with concerts, festivals and general activity. It’s not very welcoming or inviting and it doesn’t show off the beauty of the city to tourists.

Great place to walk alongside the river and have an awesome relaxing time . Cant believe there is such a place in the middle of the city but it is worth going and taking good pictures with the Hawthorne bridge or the steel bridge

Great walking running cycling trail along the Willamette River in downtown Portland. Bridge access to for the pedestrian trail offers a nice 3 mile loop. These trails also extend south and East for 20+ miles to Boring along the Springwater Trail.

SOOOOOO beautiful during the spring time with all the cherry blossoms blooming! Definitely worth the visit especially at this time of year!

Yeah, this is Portland. Not a whole lot else to say about it other than what you hear is true. Waterfront is a nice place but there are a lot of homeless people who now call it their home, so its a little less nice. Not tht I dont feel for them and their plight, I do. Either way, its a nice place for a stroll to see the water and strange people.

Great place for a walk, run or bike. clean with nice views.

Good for a nice walk or a picnic very peaceful

It was a nice walk. It is a nice day for a walk. Some people with and some w without masks.

Beautiful river, what else? But they shrunk the big float

Long park that is all along the waterfront.Home to events and the everyday jogger. Bikes, scooters, and skateboarding along with the walker or even the meditation group.

Great little park. Would be nice if the crazy homeless people had somewhere nicer to sleep and scream randomly. It smells kind of like a dirty public restroom. Other than the urine smell and crazy people that yell at you its a nice place.

Sunday Market still has the best gifts for hard to find gifters! Its a beautiful run around the Waterfront!

I seriously thought this was a joke so I had to check it out. Definitely a good laugh and I dont think theres anything else like this in the world. Be careful if you get close to it, if a crowd builds youll be blocking the street since its located between the steets on the middle island.

Beautiful placeExcept lots of panhandlers and most people on bikes are not even a little careful with others walking.

My husband and I just walked the waterfront for the 1st time since moving here in July and had such a great time!! It was a beautiful day and the water was so nice to be next to. The walkways are nice and wide so theres more than enough room for everyone to get through. Theres a cool looking maritime museum that was closed when we were there but we plan on going back to check it out. 1 star is knocked down because of the smell when you go under the bridge where that old sewage plant is. Im not sure if its up and running or not but that threw off our carefree vibe lol otherwise though it was great!

Its a good place to people watch. The river is awesome to look at.

Very nice place to just walk and get lost in your thoughts. There was a market to go to so, I went and saw what the locals had to offer. Lots of talent. The view and atmosphere was nice.

Lots of food tents/carts. Plenty of vendors peddling their wares. Lots of people watching. Bands on different corners. Plenty of fun for a Saturday.

Just saw one of THE BEST SINGERS I HAVE EVER HEARD. THANK YOU BETH HART FOR THE GREATEST SHOW! And I would have to say about 2000 other people will agree with me because they were giving her a standing ovation.

I love the blooming Cherry blossom trees here in the spring and the waterfront for the kids to play.

The city really needs to address the homeless situation. Provide housing and treatment. The citys landmarks are peppered in neglected humanity.

Great place to enjoy the Saturday market..amd all types of holidays and events. This park is like the heart of Portland..great for walking ans jogging. Not that I jog...just sayin...

One of my favorite places to enjoy a walk.

Loved the park. A shining example to the world of what can be fine when the citizens come together for a good cause. Thank you Portland.

Tom McCall Waterfront is always beautiful but especially in the spring, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom

Portland blues festival 2019! Had a blast and enjoyed the food.

Good option for people looking for a sunbathe laying over bird poop.

Nice views of the river and bridges. Great place to walk with your sweetheart.

Awesome place on Independence day as it was lit up with firecrackers

Still beautiful year after year.

Nice walk, but a lot of geese and geese residue. Pretty view out over the river and right in the downtown, with nice restaurant options along the way. Good for a late afternoon walk.

Park was nice but now is a home to covid 19 protesters. large group gatherings and no social distancing. park cant be enjoyed anymore

Riverfront with beautiful bridges right in the heart of downtown Portland... perfect place for a perfect city!

Nice stroll down the Waterfront and Saturday Market today...Mothers Day!

Used to be beautiful, now its disgusting. Great job Portland. Id blame the local government, but its really the fault of the voters.

Saturday Market is the best place for unique, handmade items you cant find anywhere else. Food is great too and theres music / entertainment as you explore. Only open from Spring to Christmas. You can spend a whole morning and afternoon there. When the market is closed, you can still walk the beautiful waterfront park.

One of the best places to go for a walk if in Portland. This place has a lot of events going on during the summers and you will find a lot of people waking by, running or biking. You can rent the Nike orange bikes across the street or there is one more bike rental at the park itself. There are a lot of options for ship rides. Check availability and pre-book. The famous one is the Columbia River Gorge scenic tour. You can view fireworks during 4th of July from this place. At the end of the park is a jetty for motorboats and you can walk until there. The only turn off is the green grass areas are it well maintained and a lot of geese poop around at times.

Great place to run and ride bikes. Absolutely beautiful during the evening. Also, a nice place to cool down when it is too hot.

Nice to be along the water but a little dirty. Was there for an event Doggie Dash which was fun

Great place to people watch. Great view of Mt Hood on clear day.

The Portland Christmas Ship Parade is truly spectacular!****************At almost 37 Acres big, Tom McCall Waterfront Park has been named one of America’s ten greatest public spaces. It has helped beautify downtown Portland and sits along the Willamette River.My family first became acquainted with it on a visit over a decade ago on the Fourth of July. The festivals, food, and fireworks were all just so spectacular!Since then we’ve moved to Tigard and have been to the Park plenty of times: on route to the Portland Saturday Market, to rent bikes from Wheel Fun Rentals, to see the world’s smallest park (Mill Ends Park), to take a Helicopter Tour (Oregon Helicopters), to eat at such fantastic restaurants such as Dar Salaam and Rovente Pizzeria, to walk our dogs, listen to music, etc.We even rode our rented quad-bike over Tilikum Crossing Bridge and saw some fantastic views of the city and then crossed over to the side where OMSI and the USS Blueback Submarine are.A must-visit Park any time of year!!!
