Native plant highlights include Pacific Coast Hybrid Iris, Thimbleberry, Birch-leaved Spirea, Oregon Grape, Sword Fern, Huckleberry, Fringecup, and many more.
Planting events will be happening through winter.

Portland Parks & Recreation is adding nature patches to developed park landscapes to provide natural experiences for people and habitat for wildlife. Nature patches are unique natural garden spaces that support native pollinators and offer fun opportunities for education and exploration.
In 2018, Kenton Park’s playground was fully renovated, including the addition of new accessibility features, with funding from the 2014 Parks Replacement Bond.
