Parks & Nature

At 5,157 acres, Portland's Forest Park is the largest urban forest in the United States. A great way to get a hike in, and not have to drive too far to get there! One of the easiest and most accessible entrances is on 29th and NW Upshur, just beyond the Pearl neighborhood.

A must see! This 190 acre park features picnic areas, basketball court, dog off-leash area, horseshoe pit, trails both paved and unpaved, playground, tennis court, volleyball court, and a reservable wedding site. Included in this welcome guide is a map of the park. The fastest way to get there is take 76th south, and then turn right on Yamhill, and left on 69th. If you are feeling up for it, take the steps all the way to the top for an incredible view of the city!

Super fun "private room" karaoke you can rent out with a small group of friends, for maximum singing time! They have a bar where you can order drinks and food as well!

One of our favorites, with a multiple page menu filled with old-timey cocktails. Every Monday they have “coloring night”, in case you want to color with markers/crayons while you drink.

Somewhat divey, but beloved. Decent southern style food, but where they shine is with their rotating tap list. Really great beers you usually can

Entertainment & Activities

Oregon Zoo is great because it is up above the city, in the vast Washington Park. They have immersive exhibits and wide variety of animals. A solid day of fun activity!

Getting Around

The nearest MAX station which will take you to the airport in one direction and downtown in the other. There are bus stops closer by that will also take you downtown however.

The most popular restaurant according to Yelp in Montavilla. Delicious foods and amazing cocktails. Be prepared for a long wait though. If you don't mind a smaller food menu, and a less fancy atmosphere, you can go to their back lounge called the "Over and Out" where there usually isn't a wait.
