Council Crest Park is a 43.51-acre urban park in southwest Portland. The park, which was the site of an amusement park from 1907 to 1929, features paved and unpaved paths, a green off-leash dog area, plenty of picnic tables, public art, an observation point, and a scenic wedding site. The vast green areas are beautifully manicured and the flowerbeds are spectacular when in bloom. There is a beautiful sculpture of a mother with a child, but the biggest attraction of the park is the breathtaking view of Mount St. Helens, Mount Rainier, Mount Hood, and Mount Adams, as well as of the entire Portland and Beaverton. At 1,073 feet, Council Crest Park is the highest spot in Portland. An extensive network of trails connects the park with downtown Portland and Forest Park.
