Woodstock Park (Portland, Oregon)
Description and history
Operated by Portland Parks & Recreation, the park was acquired in 1921 and measures 14.11 acres (5.71 ha). SE 47th Avenue and SE 50th Avenue form the west and east boundaries; Woodstock Park is bounded by SE Steele Street to the north and by SE Harold Street and Woodstock School to the south.
Amenities include a dog off-leash area, horseshoe pit, paved paths, picnic tables, a playground, public art, restroom facilities, soccer and softball fields and tennis courts. The park is open between 5 a.m. and midnight daily. The park has hosted high school softball games, movies, Woodstock School reunions, and an annual event known as "Unimproved Road". In 2012, Portland Parks & Recreation budget cuts threatened to close Woodstock Park's restroom facility and reduce daily care.
