Park history

The name of the area around this park got its start as Mt. Tabor Villa in the 1890s. After the Mt. Tabor Street Railway Company started running an East Portland route from what is now Grand Ave to SE 55 Avenue, development in the Tabor area exploded. Montavilla was one of the names given to neighborhoods by their developers. Also created were North Mt. Tabor, Tabor Heights, Tabordale, and East Tabor Villa neighborhoods.

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.
  • All-weather indoor — Programming that survives a Portland winter.
  • Markets & festivals — Vendor events and neighborhood festivals.
One addition to investigate
  • Gatherings & events — needs stage or amphitheater or plaza or terrace

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 134 assessed assets at this park, 16% 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.

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.

This page contains information about Montavilla Park in Portland, Oregon's Montavilla neighborhood.

Montavilla Park is a welcoming neighborhood park in Northeast Portland that has served the community for more than 100 years. Located near Northeast 82nd Avenue and Northeast Glisan Street in the Montavilla neighborhood, the park is about 10 acres and offers a mix of recreation, gathering spaces, and outdoor play for people of all ages. The park was acquired in 1921 and continues to be an important community space in East Portland.

The park is home to the Montavilla Community Center and the Montavilla Outdoor Pool, both of which have been part of the park since the 1920s. Today, community members visit the park to swim, play sports, enjoy picnics, and spend time outdoors with friends and family. Amenities include a playground, picnic tables, picnic shelters, soccer, futsal, and softball fields, paved and unpaved walking paths, and accessible features throughout the park. Accessible restrooms, picnic areas, and play spaces help make the park more welcoming for a wide range of visitors.

Montavilla Park is also a place where neighbors gather for community activities, youth sports, and recreation programs throughout the year. Open grassy spaces and mature trees give the park a comfortable neighborhood feel while still providing plenty of room for recreation and events. The park's location next to the community center helps make it a lively and active destination for the surrounding neighborhood.
