Gabriel Park Playground is a newly remodeled super playground that is popular for all ages!
Gabriel Park Playground is the biggest playground I think I've ever been to in the Portland, Oregon, metropolitan area, maybe even all of Oregon. It's is so fun for all ages and stages. Caregivers to crawling babies and newly walking toddlers will rejoice because it has a nice rubber play surface, not wood chip or muddy grass since it rains a lot and snows sometimes in Portland. And it has a mostly fenced play area that prevents running off. It has so many features and you could spend hours here. My oldest truly took much cajoling to leave. My toddler could climb up the little rubber hill and go down the short metal slide. And there were infant/toddler swings for her to swing next to her friend on our play date. My other preschool-aged kids had a grand time on the climbing wall, two-story play structure with an enclosed slide, the big kid swings, and a water pump play area. It was fun when we all got to get on the 4-person seesaw that has a safety bar for each kid. And, it is gentle for even the youngest children. This is the perfect playground for families with kids of multiple ages.
It clears out more during the lunchtime when crowds disperse. There are also tons of picnic benches by the playground or up the little hill overlooking the playground where it is shady. And, Gabriel Park includes basketball courts, winter and summer dog parks, a skate park, tennis courts and huge grass fields next door.
