Kelley Point Park is named after New Englander Hall Jackson Kelley (1790-1894). The park was owned by the Port of Portland for much of the 20th century, and to keep the Willamette and Columbia Rivers open to barge transport, the Port covered the flood prone peninsula with tons of dredge material from the bottoms of these rivers. Kelley Point Park officially became a Portland park in 1984.
The confluence of the Willamette and Columbia River has long been a place of cultural and spiritual significance for Indigenous peoples of the area. The City of Portland is currently partnering with regional jurisdictions, community groups, and private organizations and leading a process to develop a formal, meaningful acknowledgement of our region’s traditional inhabitants. If you have questions about this process, you can email: Tribal.relations@portlandoregon.gov.

Visitor amenities
Published amenities are checked separately from entry conditions. Each links to other documented locations; confirm current hours before visiting.
No visitor activities are verified from the available entry and amenity evidence. Inventory records alone do not establish public use.
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.
The available evidence does not establish a complete set of enabling assets for this screen.
No single-addition candidate passes this preliminary screen.
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.
Through the year
Seasonal facilities and listings captured by the Atlas. These records do not measure attendance, utilization or all activity at the site.
Counts describe captured listings, not attendance or all activity. No listings captured does not mean the site is unused.

How it's holding up
The City's own inventory of what is here and the condition it last recorded for each item. Dates are the source's; old dates mean no newer public assessment, not that nothing has happened since. PP&R does not publish itemized repair costs, so needs appear without dollar figures.
Condition across all assets
Citywide condition atlasAcross 67 assessed assets at this park, 7% 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.
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. No repair costs — those aren't published.
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.
| Asset | Condition | Status | Replacement | Assessed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Picnic Table Condition very bad. Priority urgent. Record 351 | Very bad condition code 5 | Active | no | 2007-07-17 |
Picnic Table Condition rated poor (code 4). Priority high. Record 5050 | Poor condition code 4 | Active | no | 2007-07-17 |
Picnic Table Condition rated poor (code 4). Priority high. Record 6223 | Poor condition code 4 | Active | no | 2007-07-17 |
