In this experimental garden, you can see many beautiful roses, but it is mainly an experimental garden, so don’t pick them easily.

This is an important part of Portland's urban landscape and anyone interested in architecture or urban design should visit it. Yes, there are always some weird street people here, but it seemed very safe to me. Enjoy a picnic on the steps in front of the fountain, relax, read a book, or just take in the local atmosphere.

Pittock Mansion
Pittock Mansion is a century-old house. It was the home of a famous couple in Portland (Henry & Georgiana Pittock). The couple made great contributions to the development of Portland, turning a small city on the northwest coast of Portland into a bustling metropolis. They have always been called the pioneers of Portland. The house was owned and lived in by the descendants of the Pittock family until 1958. Later, in 1964, the city government raised funds to rebuild this century-old mansion, and it was officially opened to the public in 1965 as a family museum. The mansion is divided into 3 floors, and the top floor is not open to the public.

The park is very large, and is suitable for children or friends to play. When I passed by, I saw that there were not many people, which may be related to the weekday. The facilities that a general amusement park should have are also available.
