This page contains information about Knott Park in Portland, Oregon.
Knott Park is green and spacious, and is located in Portland's Parkrose neighborhood. It covers almost 13 acres, and is a great place for families, sports lovers, and neighbors to gather, play, and relax.
Open grassy areas make Knott Park a great spot for picnics, games, and community events. In addition to a community garden, you'll find a baseball field, football field, horseshoe pit, playground, and plenty of picnic tables and benches throughout the park. The fields are perfect for tossing a frisbee, kicking a soccer ball, or enjoying a nice afternoon outdoors.
The park's paved walking paths make it easy to explore, and visitors will notice many mature maple trees, which are the most common tree in the Parkrose neighborhood. In the fall, their leaves turn vibrant shades of orange and red, adding to the park's natural beauty. This park is also home to a Turkish hazelnut tree, one of Portland's 400 heritage trees.
Park hours: 5am to midnight. Parking lot closed at 10pm. To reserve a sports field, call 503-823-2525.
Park history
A. J. Knott owned land in the area of the street and park that now bear his name.
In the 1880s and 1890s, Knott operated the Stark St. Ferry, which connected Portland and East Portland for many years. The ferry was originally fueled by "mule-power," with mules pulling the ferry from each shore. Business dwindled when the Morrison Bridge was made free to all since the Stark Street Ferry was only free to small children and funeral parties.
All dogs must be leashed in this park.

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.
