Tucked below the International Rose Test Garden in Portland's 410-acre crown-jewel park, this is one of the city's largest playgrounds, with generous tree shade, a sandbox, and swings sized for toddlers through big kids roughly ages 2-5 and up. Washington Park is pay-to-park, so budget for the meter or ride the free park shuttle.
