I've heard Forest Park will eventually have a parking lot, visitor's center and restrooms. But, I can't find any type of timeline for when construction will be started/completed. Does anyone know? Thank you!

I don't know, but there should be a dept. of parks that you can contact.
I am travelling to Portland for the first time this summer. Forest park has so many trails, which trails would be you suggest to be the top 3. i fear i will not be able to walk all the trails, but would like to make the most of it. Any suggestions? Thank you Carla

Hi, Carla, I'm new to Portland so I'm not sure which trails we took. I'll text my daughter and ask for her recommendations and get back to you. Cheers, Sharon

To help set expectations, Forest Park, is mainly literally a forest with a large number of hiking trails in it. The longest trail, the Wildwood trail is 30 miles long in one direction, so you could spend days covering all of the trails. In my opinion, if I only had one day and 3 hours to hike the trails, I would try to park near the Portland Audubon Society at the Macleay Park parking area and hike the Wildwood trail from there to Hoyt Arboretum and back. Along the way you would enjoy the spectacular views at Pittock Mansion. On a clear day, from Pittock Mansion you can see downtown Portland and 4 8000ft and higher mountains (they are really volcano)
