About the Venue

Fernhill Park Splash Pad is one of Portland Parks & Recreation's seasonal neighborhood splash pads, set inside a busy community park in the Concordia area. Families can pair water play with the park's playground, lawns, sports fields, and walking loop, which makes this a better pick for a longer summer outing than a quick fountain stop. Expect a classic city splash-pad setup rather than a staffed aquatic center, with open access and caregiver supervision required.
