I'm not sure what makes this a "park" but I do love this block. Good fountain for cooling off in the summer and comes with its own Elephants for easy plaza snacks and drinks.
- Great Bratts - they have beer and wine and cocktails (!) and fabulous people watching - a more intimate "PDX Living Room"...a foyer, perhaps? :-)
- They have everything (except grass). Play giant chess or board games, play in the fountain then grab a bite at Elephant's.
One of our more European style plazas. Modern space for people watching and events.
Eric SchraderFebruary 2, 2016Fun area of downtown. Fox Tower movie theater is nearby and giant-sized chess board.
Anne SmithJuly 18, 2013This park has a neighborhood feel and lends itself to being a nice place to relax. Grab a beverage and watch some chess.
Great place to eat the meal you've just purchased from the downtown foodcarts
Emma CainAugust 18, 2017my fave place to chill and eat my freshly purchased froyo from tartberry just up the block
JamesNovember 2, 2011Nice in the summer at night, can go and relax with feet in the water with no one around
The free WiFi is decent and there are many tables under trees or a glass roof.
Does anyone else see any irony in the fact that Teachers' fountain is lacking an apostrophe?
Great place to eat lunch- there's always plenty of seating.
They have the new fountain going, just waiting for you to make a wish...or go skinny-dipping!
Go to Directory Park on a rainy day. The covered area keeps you dry but lets all the light through.

"The coffee here is surprisingly good. They have one of those capsule-based machines, so it's consistent as well. It's no Stumptown, but very good for a cinema."

"Amazing espresso drinks. These baristas know what's up. Also incredible grab-and-go food."
