Butterfly Park, Urban park in South Portland, United States.
The one-acre park contains deciduous woodland with native grasses, wildflowers, and dogwood trees along the Willamette River shoreline.
The South Portland Riverbank Project acquired the land in 1984, transforming it from a gravel parking lot into a natural park by 1996.
The park serves as an educational site where visitors learn about butterfly species such as mourning cloaks and orange sulphurs in their natural environment.
Located at 7720 South Macadam Avenue, the park remains open from 5:00 AM to midnight and requires dogs to stay on leash.
Volunteers initiated the restoration by planting wildflower seeds harvested directly from the Columbia Gorge to create this natural butterfly habitat.
