Park history

Lents Park is named after Oliver Perry Lent, a stonemason who came to Oregon in the 1850s to farm a 190-acre land claim. The area became the center of a growing farm community. George P. Lent, the eldest son of Oliver Lent, platted the town of Lents in 1892. In 1912, the Lents community was annexed from Multnomah County and incorporated into the City of Portland.

According to neighborhood reports, the original 5.2 acres of Lents Park had previously been used as a gravel quarry. During the 1940s and 1950s, an additional 32 acres was purchased from private property owners by the City of Portland in an effort to assemble all of the land between SE 88 & 92 and SE Holgate & Steele for park purposes. In 1953, a central plan was prepared by the City, proposing locations for a baseball stadium, athletic playing fields, tennis courts, community buildings, pathways, and parking areas. Construction on the stadium began in 1956.

The stadium was named after Charles B. Walker. From 1930-1934, he supervised playground softball teams as a playground leader and in 1934, organized the first industrial and commercial softball leagues. In 1935, he was appointed as the city's first Sports Director. From 1944-45, Walker served as an American Red Cross Field Director in Germany. Upon his return from the war, he helped organize the first men's and women's softball tourneys ever held west of the Mississippi. In 1950, he was appointed as the commissioner of the Amateur Softball Association (ASA) for the Portland Metro area. He also served as the Pacific Coast Vice-President of the ASA. He retired from the Parks Bureau in 1969 after 40 years of dedication and service to the game of softball.

In 2017, Lents Park’s playground was fully renovated, including the addition of new accessibility features, with funding from the 2014 Parks Replacement Bond.

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.
  • 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
  • Summer water play — needs splash pad or wading pool or all swimming pools or interactive fountain
  • 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 239 assessed assets at this park, 12% 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. 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.

Open official page

Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) is improving the Lents Park Dog Off-Leash Area (DOLA) to increase safety for dogs, their owners, and other park users. The project will create a clearly defined, fenced off-leash area while preserving existing trees, maintaining access to nearby park amenities, and responding to community feedback.

Lents Park was selected for DOLA improvements due to its location within a service equity area and its high level of use. PP&R prioritizes equitable access to safe, well-maintained parks in areas with higher proportions of low-income households, people of color, and youth.

The updated design includes a new fenced DOLA with two separate dog areas for large and small dogs. The layout closely follows the existing off-leash boundary where feasible, minimizing tree impacts and maintaining functionality. The fenced area will total approximately 40,566 square feet, a minimal reduction from the existing off-leash area.
