Photo from the City's park pagePark history
The park is named after Ulysses S. Grant who visited Portland three times, a rare thing for a president to do in the days before air travel - or even before standardized rail travel! Grant was first assigned to Fort Vancouver where he made friends with many of Portland's politicians.
Grant Park was the setting for many scenes in children's books by Beverly Cleary. In 1991, a group of teachers, librarians, and business people formed the Friends of Henry & Ramona, and began to raise funds for the Beverly Cleary Sculpture Garden for Children. Portland artist Lee Hunt created life-sized bronze statues of three of Cleary's best-loved characters - Ramona Quimby, Henry Huggins, and Henry's dog Ribsy. Scattered around the concrete slab are granite plaques engraved with the titles of the Cleary books that take place in Portland - and a map of the neighborhood showing where events in the books "really happened." The Sculpture Garden was dedicated on October 13, 1995.

Potential additions to investigate
Passing the initial size-and-type screen is not a feasibility finding. Usable space, existing uses, habitat, public access, utilities, permission, construction costs, and ongoing maintenance funding require site-specific review. Missing acreage or uncertain classification remains unassessed.
Enabling assets recorded
- Evening use — Programming after dusk — leagues, classes, walks.
- League play — Organized sport seasons.
- Summer water play — Cooling and swim programs.
- Youth drop-in — Free unstructured play with somewhere for adults to sit.
- Nature education — Environmental programs and guided walks.
- Markets & festivals — Vendor events and neighborhood festivals.
One addition to investigate
- Gatherings & events — needs stage or amphitheater or plaza or terrace
- All-weather indoor — needs indoor space or community center or arts or cultural center or gymnasium
Inventory-based screening only. Recorded assets do not establish opening hours, program staffing, permission, or operating funding. Potential additions require review of usable space, habitat, utilities, access, and ongoing maintenance. Unverified properties remain unassessed.

Our reading of the calendar
Which facilities count as in season is our model of Portland's year (splash pads and wading pools in summer; fields, gardens and interactive fountains spring through fall; everything else year-round) — not the City's schedule. Check posted hours for pools, splash pads, and restrooms. From 16 weekly catalog snapshots (2026-06-11 to 2026-10-12). "Programs" are distinct titles; "sections" are the catalog's individual records — a swim level at one time slot for one week is one section. Complete through 2026-10; later months fill in as registration opens. Winter counts fill in when winter registration opens.

Condition across all assets
Citywide condition atlasAcross 225 assessed assets at this park, 19% are in poor or very-bad condition (rated 4–5). Pooled from the City's public assessment layers — buildings, bridges, playgrounds, courts, fields, fences, paths and amenities.
This count comes from the City's rated asset layers; the “Public assets” list below is a separate furnishings inventory, so its items and scores are counted separately and the two totals need not match.

Official Portland.gov profile
From the City's park page
Grant Park on Portland.gov
Mark Cotton was a highly respected math and physical education teacher, and a valued, highly regarded community member. He was the track and cross-country coach at Grant High School from 1965 to 1990. During that time period, the programs had numerous team and individual state championships.The Mark Cotton Field at Portland Public Schools’ Grant High School was updated to a top-tier facility in 2013, thanks to an innovative public/private partnership. Portland Commissioners Amanda Fritz and Nick Fish led the effort to bring NIKE, the Friends of Grant Athletics, NFL football star Ndamukong Suh (Grant Class of 2005), and the Ndamukong Suh Family Foundation on board to make the turf athletic field at Grant High School possible. The all-weather field has an adjacent synthetic track and opened in September 2013.
After a decade of robust use by the community and school teams, the field failed safety testing and was closed for permitted sports uses in August 2023. Portland Parks & Recreation and Portland Public Schools are working together to find alternative sites for Grant High School sports practices and games.
Portland Public School Board Chair Gary Hollands and City Commissioner Dan Ryan have committed to replace the Grant Bowl's artificial turf field and reopen the popular field for fall sports in 2024. Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) and Portland Public Schools (PPS) will work together to develop cost estimates, project roles, a funding plan, and detailed timelines. Both organizations share a commitment to Grant High School students and the greater community.
