What travellers are saying
- TLDawsonSurrey, Canada225 contributionsI have been searching on things to do in Portland and this plaza made it on my list. I like to walk along the waterfront. Just make sure you are not walking by yourself when it gets dark.Written 26 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dan WPortland, OR1,933 contributionsThis historic and relative attractive bridge is definitely worth a walk across. Each end provides insight to different slices of life as it's easy to explore inner city Portland from the east and the west. It's not a long walk and it allows for nice views of the city, especially at night.Written 28 May 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- iamhere555united states125 contributionsVisited on a Friday afternoon after going to Powell's City of Books. The walk over was along a bit of sketchy areas (walked along Burnside) and the fountain area itself was a little sketchy. Litter, dirty, homeless, abandoned buildings. It was ok in the day but I wouldn't recommend going at night. The fountain itself is ok--not a major destination in itself. There was a fire station just to the south that appeared to have historical fire fighting equipment inside which was interesting.
We continued on to the waterfront and walked along the path--the area seemed to get nicer the further south we went. We walked back to our car along Morrison -- much nicer street, felt much safer.
Not sure where to park specifically for this fountain. Parking in downtown Portland seems to be a nightmare. Street parking and lots are all pay 7 days a week. The cheapest lot we saw was $4/hour with most of them being $5/ hour and $14 for the day. Some stores may have lots (Powell's books has a lot, not sure if it was paid or not, it was full when we arrived).Written 7 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is basically a mast from the old U.S.S. Oregon with a history of the ship, a plaque with the added details of how it came to be in Portland. There is not much here, but it was an interesting read on the many different uses of the ship and how it came to rest in the park.
One thing I will say is that there were a lot of homeless in the area. I mean, a lot! More than I have seen in any other city out west. While none of them were aggressive, it is something to keep in mind as they literally were everywhere you looked around the memorial, waterfront, etc..Written 26 April 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Some garbage were not taken care.Written 30 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- HermanGExton, PA185 contributionsWe found this area while on a food tour. There were several street vendors with food and drink, as well as many artistic booths as well. Well worth walking through. Available on Saturday and Sunday.Written 3 July 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Pedro BNogales, AZ47 contributionsDuring weekends enjoy the flea market, very nice handcrafts at accesible prices.
After your strolling along the market, I strongly recommend reaching to the restaurant/bar on top the Tower,Written 10 December 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Unless you’re in the area, I’d skip it.Written 22 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
