Council Crest Park is an interesting place to begin discovering Southwest Portland. This recreation and green space comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only thing to do here. Pencil in time for other attractions like Oregon Zoo, Portland State University, and Portland Japanese Garden to really enjoy what's on offer in the area.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,667 reviews)

It is downtown in a good area for dining and walking. The famous Powell’s Bookstore is nearby. It is a classic hotel. Unfortunately, the economics of providing parking in the downtown environment requires that they charge $30/day extra to park your car. The mattress on our bed was very saggy in the middle, but I saw stacks of new mattresses in the basement car garage ready to be installed. I assume the problem will be taken care of shortly.

This rustic set of handrails was installed on a group of switchbacks in the center of the park. The switchbacks below the handrails and those above are no more perilous than those where the handrails are installed. Just less interesting to photograph, I guess.
