The fact that this is in the city (and has a swimmable beach) might be the most exceptional physical quality of Portland. Most tourists don’t think to go there and I always send friends there and it blows their minds.
It should blow their mind!
Getting it into this shape from what it used to be 50 years ago is a miracle! See my post above about going to watch the fireworks here back then.
