Description

Pendleton Park, which is right next to Hayhurst Elementary School, is a 5.21-acre neighborhood park in the Hayhurst neighborhood of Southwest Portland. With a playground, sports fields, open lawn, and plenty of room to play, it's an easy place for families and neighbors to spend an hour or an afternoon outdoors.

The children's play area is one of the park's biggest draws. Kids can climb, swing, and explore while adults can relax nearby. One feature is hard to miss: an 8-foot-tall rabbit sculpture called Vincent, Waiting for Alice. The playful sculpture, inspired by Alice in Wonderland, has become a favorite spot for people of all ages.

And there's more to do beyond the playground. Pendleton Park has a baseball field, soccer field, basketball court, picnic table, restroom, and paved and unpaved paths. Open grassy areas provide space for casual games, running around, or spreading out a blanket. A line of trees along Southwest Iowa Street adds shade and gives the park a pleasant, neighborhood feel.

Whether you're coming for the playground, kicking a ball around, shooting baskets, or stopping to visit the giant rabbit, Pendleton Park offers a simple and family-friendly place to enjoy some time outside.
