Park history

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.

Enabling assets recorded

The available evidence does not establish a complete set of enabling assets for this screen.

One addition to investigate

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.

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 and gardens spring through fall, everything else year-round) — not the City's schedule. Check posted hours for pools, splash pads, and restrooms. From 12 weekly catalog snapshots (2026-06-11 to 2026-09-07). "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 2026-09; later months fill in as registration opens. Winter counts fill in when winter registration opens.

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 atlas

Across 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.

Good · 0Above fair · 4Fair · 58Poor · 4Very bad · 1
Assessed asset families here
Amenities & furnishings2007 (2007–2026)Buildings2018

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.
