Washington Park

One of Portland's oldest, most popular, and frequently visited parks is Washington Park. The Japanese Garden and International Rose Test Garden are located in Washington Park and are close to one another on the park's more developed east side.

New rose varieties are grown in the well-known International Rose Test Garden. Roses bloom in the city's mild climate throughout the fall, but tourists should plan to attend the annual Rose Festival in May and June. Another all-day retreat in Washington Park is the Portland Japanese Garden. It is one of the biggest parks outside of Japan and is built on the grounds of an old zoo. The park's modern zoo, Portland Children's Museum, and Hoyt Arboretum are among the other well-liked attractions. Animals from all over the world, such as Asian elephants, American beavers, and African crocodiles, can be found at the Oregon Zoo in Washington Park. With 190 acres of forest, the Hoyt Arboretum has 12 kilometers of hiking trails.
