Irving Park is a massive 16 acre park in Northeast Portland great for various activities.  The playground area is large and shaded with unique play structures great for all ages.  There were a ton of dogs playing in the grass and people of all ages enjoying the large community space.  There did not seem to be a whole lot else going on in this quiet, suburbia area, but I enjoyed walking around the town surrounding it and would also recommend the area in general for stroller jogging.  

 

Includes accessible restroom, baseball field, basketball court, dog off-leash area - unfenced, horseshoe pit, paths - paved, picnic site - reservable, picnic tables, playground, soccer field, softball field, splash pad, tennis backboard, tennis court, tennis court - lighted, and volleyball court.

Emily Coleman
Emily Coleman is a Jersey girl born and raised who caught the outdoor bug upon moving to Vermont to pursue a degree in Adventure Education and Environmental Studies from Green Mountain College. She spent most of her years before college deeply entrenched in the world of competitive cheerleading before discovering a passion for outdoor sports including mountain biking, white water kayaking, bikepacking, backpacking, slacklining, rock climbing, and skiing. Having been surrounded by children her entire life in her mother's daycare, she always had a strong affinity for kids. She moved to the mountains of Jackson Hole after graduating to coach for the local Kayak Club during the summers and nanny in the winters. Becoming a part of the Happy Active Family team felt like the perfect collision of her passion for building strong community bonds and encouraging an outdoor lifestyle.
