Westmoreland Park
FYI this post is out of date... The playground at Westmoreland Park has had a recent makeover, with novel play equipment made from trees. Updated photos and review coming soonish...
If you can get over the ominous birds, Westmoreland offers a fun neighborhood park - with added water features.

Pros
- A fun little neighborhood playground, with plenty of equipment in various states of graceful dilapidation.
- A lake to walk/run around (not sure if more explicitly aquatic activities are possible).
- Playing fields/courts to kick/bounce a ball around.
- Bird watching? Duck feeding?
- Public restroom. Picnic tables.
Cons
- The birds! Massed ranks of ravenous, squawking gulls add a sinister, Hitchcockian air.
- The roar of McLoughlin, steel framing and (by Portland park standards) a relative lack of trees all lend a certain post-industrial atmosphere. Windy and exposed in the winter months.
