Westmoreland Park

Westmoreland Park is a municipal park located in the Westmoreland area of southeast Portland, Oregon's Westmoreland neighborhood, United States. The property for the park was acquired in 1936 and encompasses 42.01 acres (17.00 ha). Located along McLoughlin Boulevard, the park straddles Crystal Springs Creek just downstream from the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden. The park is operated by Portland Parks & Recreation and includes sports fields, a playground, and a pond. The Royal Rosarian Milk Carton Boat Race takes place every summer in the park's casting pond.

History
Prior to becoming a park, the land where Westmoreland Park sits was used for farming, a golf course, and even a landing strip. It was named after a student at Reed College, Hugh Broomfield, who was a pilot who died during World War I while in combat. Construction on the revamped park was completed in 2014, with it re-opening in October 2014. The restoration of the wetlands allowed for the return of migrating salmon to the stream. The United States Army Corps of Engineers assisted on the project, which cost $1 million to complete. ==Amenities==
