With Spring and Summer come busy weekends so we have been making an effort to pack up meals to take along with us while we are out. As much as we enjoying the occasional dining out we don’t want to make it too much of a habit. Two weekends ago now we packed up lunch and headed out for the morning to run a few errands and eventually we found ourselves at Dawson Park to have a picnic lunch. We had been to this park last Spring but they have completely overhauled the park and it is really great! Edith loved running around and trying out all of the play structures, Alder didn’t know what to think of the faux turf but grew to like it and we all enjoyed the swings. Check out more details here or under the PDX With Kids page.
I don’t think I’ve seen that large of a faux grass spread on a park before.
Just came from FB Portland Bloggers, we used to live on Albina not far from here – we watched the demo and reconstruction of this park and it is AMAZING now. From the drums to the safer alternative to the spinning merry go round of death – my kids are big fans from 14-3 years old.
cute spot!

Good to know! When I have kids, I will have to keep this park in mind. Luckily Portland has so many! 🙂
That climbing thing looks like something my kids would love!
