Parklane Park Grand Reopening Event On June 12 - Free for Everyone

Portland Parks & Recreation has completed the long-awaited expansion of outer Southeast Portland’s Parklane Park. Following a five-and-a-half-year design and construction process, the park is now open and has been transformed from five acres to 25 acres of recreational space in District 1. It is now Portland’s largest developed park east of I-205.
