Mill Park Elementary School - SE Portland - 10.6.22

 Mill Park Elementary School's playground (as of 2022) boasts an eclectic collection of old and new equipment spread across two adjacent play spaces. Most of these structures are made of metal and have years of chipping paint giving the pieces an artisinal look. 

Mill Park is located at 1900 SE 117th Avenue in Portland, Oregon.









































These rings are pretty old; we had some at the nearby Menlo Park in 1985, and I assume Mill had a similar setup: large cement stepping stones underneath on one side, and NO barkdust whatsoever. Oh, how we lived.






This playground has remained virtually unchanged since I first photographed it in 2005. Those photos are not archived on this site, but I'll try to find them for comparison. My suspicion is that the only major difference will be the paint colors.
