Council Crest Park
REVIEWS
Clean, quiet, and scenic. I am a young woman who visited by myself. I felt very safe at this park, even on the trails. Council Crest park is very peaceful, and there were some interesting birds. Lots of benches, as well as lawn space for picnics if you happen to visit while it’s dry outside. When I visited (November) the Four T Trail (train system thingy) wasn’t running, but I will 100% go back in the summer so I can experience that. I’ve attached pictures of the sign explaining it. It looks really cool. The only thing is I wish there were a water fountain, because I forgot to bring water. Overall I had a great time, and I will be back.

You can see Mt. Adam, Mt. Hood, and Mt. St Helen from the park. There's no playground for kid. Parking lot is free however it's limited; Probably only about 20 vehicles can park there. The park does have a portable restroom. Once you get to the park it's only a one way in and one way out.

You can get a beautiful view of Mount Hood from here! It's such an iconic spot, perfect for a picnic or simply relaxing. I'm determined to bike here next time! In general, it's just a really nice place to enjoy the scenery and unwind. Definitely a hidden gem to add to the list!

Council Crest Park is the highest point in Portland, also a beautiful respite in the middle of the 4T Hike (which is also amazing and everyone should do it). I love coming here. Peaceful. Beautiful views. The Marquan trail has an entrance here. That is a fun trail.

Awesome views of the surrounding mountains. Clean park and easy parking. Trails are well maintained. It was a great place to take pictures from.
