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.
Markets & festivals — Vendor events and neighborhood festivals.

One addition to investigate

Gatherings & events — needs stage or amphitheater or plaza or terrace
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 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 165 assessed assets at this park, 20% 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. 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.

This page contains information about Normandale Park in Portland, Oregon.

Normandale Park is a popular park in Northeast Portland’s Rose City Park neighborhood. The park is about 14 acres and has been part of the community since 1940. It has something for everyone. Here, you'll find open green space, paved and dirt paths, picnic areas, and places to play sports. You’ll also find soccer and softball fields, basketball and volleyball courts, and a playground. Additionally, the park has accessible restrooms and a fenced dog off-leash area where dogs can run and play.

One special part of the park is Erv Lind Stadium. It was built in 1948 and is known for its history in women’s fast-pitch softball. The stadium was named after Erwin “Erv” Lind, a coach for a team called the Erv Lind Florists. In 2024, the stadium was added to the National Register of Historic Places. It’s important not only for sports but also because it was a space where Portland’s LGBTQ2SIA+ community gathered in the past.

Normandale Park is open every day from 5am to midnight. It’s a great place to walk, play, or relax with family, friends, or pets.
