Large city park with duck pond
Don't let your dogs eat stray sausages here. The park was host to a number of poisoned sausage related dog deaths in 2003.
This is a showpiece for the Portland Parks and Recreation Dept, as it has been for most of a century. The first city park ever to be designated a US historical site. It was designed by the Olmsteads, after they did Central Park in NY, and it shows. Check out the pictures here

Correction -- it was not designed by F. L. Olmstead, but by a disciple of his. | ||||

The bright green area near the middle is a pond -- there's a bit of an algae problem. | ||||
