Westmoreland Park & Natural Playground

Westmoreland Park, located at SE McLoughlin Blvd & Bybee Blvd in Portland is part of naturescape movement taking over in the Pacific Northwest.   Although the park was originally acquired in 1927, and has been in continuous use since the 1930's and has a fascinating history.    The park began with lots of concrete but by the early 2000's city planners decided to restore much the natural wetlands and creek bed of crystal springs, which runs through the park.  The park was revamped in 2014 and 42.01 acres is now a mix of play area, ponds, stream and wetlands.
