    Very accessible by MAX and free park shuttle

    We took MAX to the Park station where the free shuttle was waiting and it makes a loop to all of the main sites within the park and you could actually even get off at stops and hike into the woods.

    Beautiful Rose Garden Stroll

    The stroll through the Rose Garden was nice and relaxing. My family enjoyed the fine weather and beautiful views. Spending the day in Washington Park was great, and the weather cooperated with a fine sunny day.

    Japanese and rose test gardens are a must

    This is an day excursion from downtown Portland on the streetcar directly to Washington Park. P.S. The station there is over 250 feet below gorund. Pretty neat.

    No specific bike trails, but there are plenty of bikers on the winding roads through the park. Check out the park map.
