I love this park!!!! Theres literally something to do here everyday and the options can meet the needs of anyone. The beauty of the park alone summons the interests of many but the unlimited potential for adventure keeps people coming back.I personally love the nature of green plush trees and being able to enjoy the environment with other park enthusiasts.The museums are also awesome! The park has an ample amount of parking.There are also food trucks during the weekends. The Japanese Tea Garden is breathtaking and has one of the most beautiful landscapes on the west-coast.Theres always something to do here and every moment is simply the best at this park. The more you engage in activities at this park, the better you feel.Great place to visit!

An island in the road. Cars and trucks run over it. Bring your own drink specials and special foods. Restroom is unisex gutter. No wheelchair accessible. Parking just may be on top of you. Stay long enough a bird may wax your hair. A great view. Have cup or hat. Passerby s may drop coins for your fare to looney bin. Service is horrid. Your hat or cup will be stolen as a tip. Feel like a spitoon from everybody that looks at you. Even from afar. May be on the 6 oclock news or at least on the web. Chance to be famous as people yell at you as they pass by. May be beat up cuz people may think its a good place. To pan handle trade spot for sign that se

I was quite excited to see this "worlds smallest park." Ill admit, standing there for four traffic light cycles just to admire and take photos of this cute concept is a bit scary - its located at the beginning of the median. We were here during Saint Patricks Day weekend so we were pleasantly surprised to find that this "park" was decorated with a miniature rainbow and pot of gold at the end of it! Obviously, we looked like total tourists but my derpy photo was totally worth it (:

Seriously - where else in the U.S. would you find the former base of a utility pole converted into a 15" circle of dirt and flowers and called a "park"?? Its a super unique, must-see part of any walk along the west side of the Willamette River. Locals and tourists are surprised to hear about it, but it IS tended to by the city. Grab a coffee, walk to Mill Ends Park, then enjoy the views along the river on a sunny day this summer in Portland!

My wife and I came here for a picnic once. It was beautiful, although it did feel a little cramped. It feels like the vegetation has taken over most of the park. The North side of the park is my favorite. There is a small clearing there that is great for people watching. Definitely not the best park to go to if youre trying to make a late night drug deal though.

This a must-see spot that I bring all my guests too. Yes, its just a former utility pole hole in the middle of an intersection, but Portland Parks & Recreation took the time to make it an official park and someone from their team actually changes out the plantings a few times a year! Its fun, cute, quirky, and very Portland!

世界一小さい公園にやっときた。中央分離帯にポツンとあるので、撮影する際は要注意。下手すると車に轢かれる。隣にある川沿いの公園も散歩するには最高です。

This is one of those things that can be best described as a Portland sense of humor. It is officially the worlds smallest park. Even if youre from outside of Portland, you cant help but laugh but coming across it and the nearby plaque. Definitely worth a visit for a good laugh and photo op.

The smallest city park in the world is locations claim to fame. If you are travelling through Portland, be sure to stop and take a picture! The citys park staff maintains this location with the help of local residents and miniature sculptures regularly show up in the park.

本当に世界一小さな公園で、かわいかった（笑）世界一と認められるだけのことはあるみたいやね♪ この公園好き(^^)

I got lost and almost eaten by a wild bear. Why arent our parks workers maintaining this park and keeping all the ravenous beasts away from the trails. also, the leprechaun wedding was catered by a fairy and it made the cake too sweet. Thanks Obama.

For such a small park you would think it would be better maintained. Trash everywhere, homeless hogging all the good benches and its hard to find parking. Greats views though. This obviously sarcasm. I was a bit underwhelmed but happy to see it.

Kathleen Anson

Just another one of those quirky things about Portland. The day I was there, multiple people stopped and posed for the picture here at the "worlds smallest park." A must for visitors, be sure to read the plaque on the West side of the street.

Marc Thayer

I really like this park, but I particularly like when it gets decorated for holidays. Theres a plaque on the west side of the street with additional information and history. Now you can tell people youve been to the smallest park in the world!

Corey Anson

This is such a funny thing about Portland to take visitors to. It is pretty much just a tiny spot in the median where they have planted a few shrubs, but since its the smallest park in the world, you just have to see it.

David Brown

I love that this exists! Worlds smallest park. That being said, its a few plants in the median of the road so know what youre getting into when you look for it. You could literally miss it in the blink of an eye.

Nicholas Kasse

Of course the worlds smallest park is in Portland. Portlands awesome! Mill Ends Park is basically a tree on an traffic island. Sometimes wed get stuck because no one pushed the crosswalk button...

Liesl Arceneaux

What is this, a park for ants? It needs to be at least 3 times this size! Great microbe watching here. Facilities are scant and far between but there is a Loo about 20 feet away so thats helpful.

ITS GREAT AND I LOVE IT AND I SHIP THESE TWO LEPRECHAUNS THAT I SAW GET MARRIED THERE AND IF YOU SAY THAT ITS JUST A COUPLE OF SHRUBS AND A TREE THEN YOU CAN LEAVE BECAUSE ITS PRECIOUS

Mehr Obdachlose usw. Als alles andere. Eher unangenehm dort zu sitzen.

easy to miss if you dont know its here! well-maintained and cute. Theres a info plaque on the sidewalk by up front bar & grill that gives you its history.

Angela Morris

Oh sooo Portlandesque there is no where else in the US that would call a median a park, but it is our park and we love it,. Not good for picnics.

Dan Berger

This is one of those things that makes Portland what it is. Weve shown the park to out-of-town guests and they always get a kick out of it.

Courtney Holeman

Perfect for the people of tiny height (4 or 5 in). Oh you know the cutest of cutest mythical creatures, leprechauns and fairies.

I have a complaint. I went to Mill Ends Park and noticed that they trimmed the tree. Now I have no shade! I am very disappointed.

Triston Pascoe

This is a park recorded in the Guinness Book as the smallest city park. (So not sure if all other commenters knew this) luv pdx

Its something you swing by if youre in the neighborhood and looking to show off your Portland knowledge to out-of-towners.
