Overview: Although there is no swimming in the reservoirs for obvious reasons this park has plenty of other things to offer the whole family including picnic areas, a dog park, monuments and public art, and even volleyball and tennis areas. I've drawn a quick path that will take you to views of all three reservoirs and to the top of Mt. Tabor but I also encourage you to check the link in this guide for a more detailed map and information about the park.

Tips: Directions to the Park: Take I-85 east to 60th ave from downtown Portland at the 58th Ave Exit. You will need to take a left onto Glisan then a right onto 60th. Take 60th to Belmont and turn left onto it. Go east on Belmont up the hill to 69th and Belmont where you will take a right onto 69th and head up the hill into the park.

Top of Mt. Tabor

You will have a view over Portland and down to the airport as well as a view towards Mt. Hood through the trees from the top of Mt. Tabor. You are now on top of a 600 foot tall cinder cone just outside of downtown Portland!
