Fernhill Park

Nice walk around the track with my brother. Fresh cool air. Was my first time here at the park/ track. But going to come here now often now.

Nice, chill my 2yr old daughter enjoyed herself and wasn't scared of the dogs running around. The dog owners stayed responsible with their pets. I will bring my daughter again and again. Playground: Playful and age appropriate for my little one. Dog-friendliness: Dogs running around but weren't out of control.

This is a very dynamic park. One of the most expansive off-leash play areas in the city. The park is very popular with dog people, and people people but never feels crowded. My border collie needs space to run and play frisbee and not bother anyone and we always find enough. There are rolling hills, dozens of deciduous tree varieties from all over the world, Chestnut trees that drop thousands of acorns in fall. It has a modern quarter mile track, space for softball and soccer, gathering places, and still there's enough space to find solitude too. Theres a newly updated, expanded playground. Which I believe included a water feature... so look out for that kids! Water bowls for dogs are down in the center, lower level thanks to folks who fill & return jugs. Street parking only. On NE 37th near Ainsworth for the playground. The dog park is best reached from NE 42nd and Simpson or Rosa Parks. It can get busy on the dog park side. A bit of patience helps find parking w/in a minute or two. The five coastal redwoods growing in the middle are pretty iconic. They took a place in my consciousness a few years ago and have never left. They're like family now.

Fernhill Park is definitely a hidden gem in North Portland. A very open space with a lot to offer. Besides all the usual stuff: a recreational area, a dog park, tennis courts, football and baseball fields, running trails; there is even an athletic track, which looks and feels very well maintained.

There are a lot of dogs off leash. We love dogs so it is fine. Mostly ada accessable. From what I was able to see, it was well maintained and hardly any trash on the ground.

Great place for a run in NEPo, so long as you're cool with random, mostly friendly dogs and the odd off-leash toddler. Some of the trail is slippery when wet, fair warning. Nice to have a mix of hard-pack earthen trail & pavement to run on. Bonus points for the actual on-site track, deduction for the big pools of water that form on unmanaged trails.

This park has lots to do: kids play structure, tennis courts, baseball/soccer fields, track with football field, dog park, nature area, and splash pad area. The bad thing about it is that dog owners do not follow off-lease rules specific area so dogs are running wild which can scare children while playing.

My frenchie make a lot of friends love this place

It is such a lovely park in the middle of a nice neighbourhood in Northeast Portland. I went there for a Sunday morning run and the track was in an excellent condition. There were many girls there playing some kind of team sport, a lot of people with their little kids and also a lot of dogs around. Overall a very lovely and safe atmosphere for running playing or working out. I highly recommend everyone to check it out if you are looking to spend your weekend mornings in a nice open area. It is also an ideal place to just spread out a picnic or read a book.

Nice park. The whole thing is basically an off-leash dog park, so be prepared for dogs to come up to you. If that's your thing, this park is awesome. If not, I'd find another park.
