South Waterfront Park

Paved pathways connect the RiverPlace Esplanade to Tilikum Crossing, tracing the water where clear skies bring distant views of Mount Hood and Mount St. Helens. Inward from the river, plantings of irises, azaleas, wild geraniums, and rhododendrons wrap around duck-inhabited ponds lined with meditation benches, keeping this dog-friendly green space quiet despite the nearby shops and dining.
