Laurelhurst Park is a city park in the neighborhood of Laurelhurst in Portland, Oregon. The 26.81-acre (10.85 ha) park was acquired in 1909 from the estate of former Portland mayor William S. Ladd. The City of Portland purchased the land in 1911, and the following year park superintendent Emanuel Mische designed the park in accordance with the Olmsted Plan.

In 1919, the Pacific Coast Parks Association named Laurelhurst Park the "most beautiful park" on the West Coast, and in February 2001 it was the first city park ever to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The park costs the city approximately $274,000 per year to maintain.

We had a pre wedding event at this park. It was so beautiful and clean although the restrooms could use more cleaning.

You almost won't believe you are in the city, very pretty, often popular but I have never been too crowded, worth a stop for some air if you are in the neighborhood.

This is an amazing experience. You get to witness history with nature that you can walk through that have been there for 200 years! This is a great place to bring your family to experience nature at its finest. Admission if free but the memories are priceless. Giant Redwoods are my favorite part to visit. I hope you start your journey there soon!

-Set inside a very large park with a nice pond and scenery. Lots of paved trails leading this way and that. Lots of trees. Plenty of picnic tables and people sitting out in the grass areas and flying kites, etc. A large park. Be prepared to walk to the dog areas. -There is a map near the entrances that are helpful -NOT fenced, just a particular area of open grass set inside of the large park -There are certain areas and times that the areas are for dogs (see pic for date/times) -No water stations for doggos -Street parking only. Set in a residential area. -Trash cans spread throughout -Restrooms
