A Berkeley-esque, steep crest of natural refuge nestled directly above the southern reaches of 23rd Ave, Washington Park is wondrous in its ability to be both a place of forested mystique, and mere steps from the urban core. Hidden in its hills can be found a MAX station, the zoo, a rose garden, and the Children’s Museum. But, for a brief get-away on any day from the urban canyons of downtown, simply stroll to Lewis and Clark Circle at the eastern edge, and lose yourself exploring the niches and stairways, taking in majestic views of the city as if from afar. Southwest of NW 23rd Ave., a few blocks up the hill west of the PGE Park baseball stadium; also accessible by MAX light rail and an exit off of Highway 26. Park hours: 5:00am-10:00pm.
