This page contains information about Creston Park in Southeast Portland, Oregon.
Located in the Creston-Kenilworth neighborhood of Southeast Portland, Creston Park is a welcoming 14.38-acre community space with something for everyone. The City acquired the land in 1920, and it has served neighbors for more than 100 years. Today, it remains a busy and vibrant place where people gather, play, and relax.
You'll find open lawns, tall evergreen trees, and paved paths that loop through the park. It's a great spot for a morning walk, an afternoon picnic, or a casual game of catch. The large picnic area on the east side of the park has plenty of tables and shade, making it a popular place for birthday parties and family get-togethers. You can reserve space with our Customer Service Center team.
The playground was fully renovated in 2020 with funding from the Parks Replacement Bond. It features modern play structures, swings, and rubberized surfacing designed for safety and accessibility. An ADA-accessible pathway connects the parking lot on SE 43rd Avenue to the play area, and you'll also find accessible restrooms and drinking fountains nearby.
Park hours: 5am to 10pm
Park history
One of the new wave of multi-use neighborhood parks during the City Beautiful movement, this property became a park due to a bond issue for parks and playground expansion approved by voters in 1919. The natatorium (swim facility) was constructed in 1925 along with two brick comfort stations. By 1926, tennis courts, horseshoe pits, and a ball field were added.
In 2020, Creston Park’s playground was fully renovated, including the addition of new accessibility features, with funding from the 2014 Parks Replacement Bond. An ADA-accessible pathway was installed from the SE 43rd Avenue parking lot to the playground. Other ADA improvements included a new drinking fountain and benches.
This park has facilities you can reserve. Booking happens on the city's official systems — every link below goes straight there.

Assessment dates are copied from the public Parks Amenities layer. Old dates mean this source does not publish a newer assessment for that asset, not that we have confirmed no newer internal inspection exists. PP&R does not publish itemized repair costs, so this ledger shows needs without dollar figures.

The public asset layer includes `PictureID` and `Hyper_pic`, but those values point to PP&R internal file-share paths, not public image URLs. Asset-level inspection photos need a PP&R export or public ArcGIS attachments before this app can render them.
