Farragut Park, Urban park in Portland, United States
Farragut Park is a roughly 14-acre green space in Portland with walking paths, open fields, and multiple sport facilities. The grounds include basketball courts, baseball diamonds, play areas, and picnic zones for year-round use.
Farragut Park was acquired by the city in 1940, and both the park and the adjacent Farragut Street take their name from David Farragut, a naval officer of the American Civil War. The 14-acre site lies in the Piedmont neighborhood, bounded by North Kerby Avenue, Farragut Street and a railway line. Renovations to the park were completed in July 2024.
The park and the street beside it both take their name from David Farragut, the Union naval officer of the American Civil War. Today the 14-acre grounds hold a playground, baseball diamond, basketball courts, water playground and picnic tables, so neighbours use it for ball games, children's play and summer splashing.
The park is bordered by N Kerby Avenue, Farragut Street and a railway line. Paths are lined with lamps, though some do not work as intended until new bulbs are fitted. Accessible restrooms were added near the water features in the 2024 renovation.
The July 2024 renovation replaced the playground's bark chips with mats, added play structures, rebuilt the basketball court and put new restrooms near the water features. Several path lamps still do not work as intended and are expected to be fixed with new bulbs.
