Ladd Circle is a pleasant spot to take a break. Enjoy a picnic, toss a ball around or just lie on the cool grass and close your eyes for a while.
If you're spending a while in Southeast Portland, Ladd Circle Park and Rose Gardens is a good place to kick off your exploring. This recreation and green space is one of many attractions that'll keep you on the go here. Oregon Zoo, Portland State University, and Portland Japanese Garden are also waiting to be explored close by.
