This page contains information about Mt. Scott Park.
PP&R is expanding an existing garden bed in the park to serve as a community resource for future Día de los Muertos observances and celebrations.
In partnership with Latinx PDX we are completing the first phase of this project, preparing the space for new plants. In addition to planting cempasúchil, we are seeking feedback on other culturally significant plants that the community would like to be installed in the garden.
Cempasúchil (tagetes erecta), also known as the Mexican marigold, flor de muerto, and cempaxochitl, is an annual flower native to Mexico and Central America. The inclusion of the flower in Día de los Muertos ceremonies is pre-colonial. The name, "cempasúchil" is derived from the Nahuatl word, "cempohualxochitl," meaning "twenty flower".
Park hours: 5am to midnight

Citywide condition atlasAcross 185 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.
Condition is rated 1 (good) to 5 (very bad); blank 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
Assessment dates are copied from the public Parks Amenities layer. Old dates mean this source does not publish a newer assessment for that asset, not that we have confirmed no newer internal inspection exists. PP&R does not publish itemized repair costs, so this ledger shows needs without dollar figures.
