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.

The work, cost & reason (7 source rows)
Playground renovation$313,955
Asset as named in source: Play Area A
Renovation or repair playground that was rated as 4 during playground assessment in 2020
KGW table row 793. Source field: “Escalated Estimate.” Estimate date, inflation basis, funded amount and completion status are not supplied.

KGW table row 792. Source field: “Escalated Estimate.” Estimate date, inflation basis, funded amount and completion status are not supplied.
Original source table ↗Replace ballfield backstop fencing$30,000
Asset as named in source: Ball field 1-Fence
Backstop fencing of ballfield 1 is coming up and is unsafe to play: - Post to hold it down is missing, post on other parts of the fencing is missing too - Main post has a major crack in it. Both vertical and horizontal. - One upper pipe on backstop overhang is cracked also. -Footing/concrete mow strip is loose and moves back and forth with minimal force.
KGW table row 794. Source field: “Escalated Estimate.” Estimate date, inflation basis, funded amount and completion status are not supplied.

KGW table row 795. Source field: “Escalated Estimate.” Estimate date, inflation basis, funded amount and completion status are not supplied.
Original source table ↗Install rubber matting around the whirl$16,402
Asset as named in source: Play equipment
The whirl is a stand alone whirly so it is very difficult to keep play chips around due to the type of use it gets and it is a small area so having the contractor in to just do a yard of playchips is impractical for the amount of times it needs it.
KGW table row 796. Source field: “Escalated Estimate.” Estimate date, inflation basis, funded amount and completion status are not supplied.
Original source table ↗Restroom Upgrades$16,332
Asset as named in source: Overlook Park

Original source table ↗ESPC-III_Buildings Lighting to LEDs$11,760
Asset as named in source: Shelter - Restroom - Storage

Condition across all assets
Citywide condition atlasAcross 93 assessed assets at this park, 29% 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.
