Park history

The land in the Irvington neighborhood was originally owned by Captain William Irving, who was famous in early Pacific Northwest maritime history. Part of the land occupied by Irving Park was the site of the Irvington Racetrack, one of four defunct racetracks now sporting Portland parks.

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 atlas

Across 232 assessed assets at this park, 21% 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.

Amenities & furnishings2007 (2007–2026)Buildings2018Fences2022Pathways & trailsPlayground equipment2020Sport fieldsSport courts

Condition is rated 1 (good) to 5 (very bad); no score means not yet assessed and is excluded. Park trees are inventoried separately and not counted here. These assessment records do not contain repair costs. Historical project estimates are shown separately.

Repair ledger

Each row is one record from PP&R's public asset layer. No itemized repair cost is published for these records, so none is shown. Dates are the source's last published assessment; treat older ones as unverified.

Take a virtual tour of the trees at Irving Park

From 2020-2024, Portland Parks & Recreation and the Bureau of Environmental Services collaborated to create Portland's largest nature patch and various stormwater facilities to capture rainwater, foster wildlife habitat, and add natural features to enjoy. Several areas on the west side of Irving Park were converted to natural landscaping that included flowering native plants, stormwater swales, logs, boulders, split-rail fencing, and paths.

Nature patches and rain gardens capture the large volume of rain that flows off the park's hilly and compacted terrain. Capturing rainwater is especially important during storms to reduce flooding in nearby streets and to help prevent the public sewer system from being overwhelmed by stormwater. This project brought nature to the neighborhood that works to protect public health and the environment by helping prevent flooding, sewer backups into basements, and overflows into the Willamette River during heavy rain. You can learn more on the Irving Park Stormwater Project page.
