City-published park details
Wallace Park on Portland.gov
A lovely neighborhood park with a wide selection of amenities to enjoy.
Created in 2025, the nature patch at Wallace Park is a stormwater-focused series of garden spaces. Several areas around the park were converted to natural landscaping with stormwater swales and rain gardens, flowering native plants, logs, boulders, and split-rail fencing.
Stormwater facilities will help capture the large volume of rain that flows off the park. Capturing rainwater in the park helps keep our watershed clean and reduces the burden on the public sewer system.
This project is funded by a Percent for Green grant provided by Portland's Bureau of Environmental Services. This grant supports large-scale green infrastructure projects that provide broad benefits for watershed health and the community.
Park hours: 5:00am-midnight To reserve a picnic area or sports field, call 503-823-2525. Picnic Sites and Info
Park history
This park is named for Hugh W. Wallace, the city councilman responsible for getting the property allocated as a city park. A search of the park and school yard will reveal a curious collection of 11 bronze objects tucked away in unexpected places. Entitled Eleven Very Small Sculptures, they were created by artist Bill Will in 1998. Another art installation in the park is a 1980 sculpture by Manuel Izquierdo called Silver Dawn. Izquierdo is professor emeritus of Pacific Northwest College of Art.
This park has facilities you can reserve. Booking happens on the city's official systems — every link below goes straight there.

The public asset layer includes `PictureID` and `Hyper_pic`, but those values point to PP&R internal file-share paths, not public image URLs. Asset-level inspection photos need a PP&R export or public ArcGIS attachments before this app can render them.
