Parklane Park - SE Portland - 4.15.06 and 11.11.11

Parklane Park

Just a bike ride away from my childhood home, this playground -- before it was replaced by the current equipment -- was color-schemed in red and white stripes, earning the nickname "Candy Cane Park." No matter the weather, there always seemed to be a puddle at the bottom of the slide. This tiny, oddly-shaped park is in the middle of the suburbs and only a block or two from Harold Oliver Primary School, which has a far more interesting playground. Neither place is in the healthiest of locations, as they are situated next to a former quarry-turned-landfill, now covered. You'd never guess it used to be a landfill, though. Now it just looks like a swamp.

Location: A few blocks east of 148th Ave. and Main St.







From 2011...
