Peninsula Park, Urban park in North Portland, US
Peninsula Park spans 16 acres with a central fountain, outdoor swimming pool, sports courts, and a two-acre rose garden containing 5,700 roses of 75 varieties.
The park, purchased in 1909 for $60,000 through a bond measure, transformed from a horse racing track into Portland's first public rose garden and community center.
The garden cultivated Mme Caroline Testout roses, which became Portland's official rose and contributed to the city's designation as the City of Roses.
Visitors can access sports facilities, swimming pool, picnic areas, and community center daily from 5 AM to midnight, with tennis court lights turning off at 10 PM.
The octagonal bandstand, designated as a National Heritage structure, remains the last of its kind in Portland and hosts summer concerts and wedding ceremonies.
