St. Johns Park

St. Johns Park is an urban green space in the St. Johns neighborhood with paved pathways, playing fields, and designated areas for recreation. The grounds include zones designed for both team sports and casual outdoor use.

The land was acquired in 1941 when Portland was expanding its network of public parks. This period marked a broader effort to bring recreational spaces to different neighborhoods.

The community center within the park serves as a meeting place where neighbors gather for local programs and social events. Residents use the space regularly for activities that bring the area together.

The park is open from early morning through midnight, with street parking available nearby. A community center on the grounds provides public restrooms for visitors.

The park contains an emergency communication station designed to provide essential services if a major earthquake strikes. This infrastructure reflects the region's preparation for seismic events.
