Woodstock Park, Urban park in Southeast Portland, United States
Woodstock Park is a 14.11-acre (5.71 ha) public park in southeast Portland, bounded by SE 47th and SE 50th Avenues and by SE Steele and SE Harold Streets. It has soccer and softball fields, tennis courts, a playground, a horseshoe pit, paved paths, picnic tables, a dog off-leash area and public art.
The park was established in 1921 from an undeveloped parcel in Southeast Portland. Over the decades, it developed into a recreational center for the neighborhood.
The park hosts Woodstock School reunions, high school softball games, outdoor movies and an annual event called "Unimproved Road". Its public art and open lawns serve as the setting for these gatherings rather than any single monument.
Woodstock Park is open daily from 5 a.m. to midnight. Entrances lie along SE 47th and SE 50th Avenues, with SE Steele Street on the north side and SE Harold Street and Woodstock School to the south. Paved paths link the playground, picnic tables, restrooms and sports fields; a dog off-leash area is set aside.
The park hosts an annual event called "Unimproved Road" and has been used for Woodstock School reunions, high school softball games and movies. Portland Parks & Recreation budget cuts in 2012 threatened to close its restroom and reduce daily care.
