Holladay Park

Holladay Park is a 4.5-acre green space with walking paths, picnic tables, and interactive fountains surrounded by mature trees near Lloyd Center. The grounds provide space to move around and relax in a densely built neighborhood.

Benjamin Holladay, who sold his stagecoach business to Wells Fargo, founded this park in 1870 as he developed railroad connections to California. The location became part of his broader vision for regional infrastructure and land development.

Three bronze sculptures called Constellation stand throughout the park and represent how personal gardens connect to shared community spaces. They invite visitors to think about nature's role in city life.

The park sits right next to the TriMet MAX Line and is open from 5 AM to midnight. It works well for brief visits or passing through on your way to other places in the area.

A musical fountain from 1964 originally featured synchronized lights before being replaced in 2000 by a modern spouting fountain created by artist Tim Clemen. The new fountain offers a different experience of water and movement in the park.
