Pettygrove Park, Urban park in downtown Portland, United States.

The park spans 1.17 acres with grass mounds, stone walls, asphalt paths, and dense tree canopy covering the central walking areas.

Francis Pettygrove, an early Portland settler, won the park naming rights through the same coin toss that determined Portland's name over Boston.

Lawrence Halprin designed this space in 1966 as part of the Portland Open Space Sequence, incorporating natural elements within an urban environment.

Located between SW 1st and 4th Avenue, the park remains accessible from 5 AM to midnight, featuring numerous benches and walking paths.

The bronze sculpture 'The Dreamer' by Manuel Izquierdo stands in a reflecting pool, creating musical sounds when rain falls on its surface.
