Wag! Walkers know Parkrose
Bordering the northeast section of Portland, Oregon, the Parkrose
neighborhood is adjacent to the airport and only a few blocks south of the river.
The area has a lot of shopping as well as plenty of residential areas, making it
an ideal area for families and their four-legged companions.
There are plenty of
restaurants and stores and there are pet stores available just to the west and
east of the neighborhood along the shopping strips. There
are also plenty of veterinarians throughout the neighborhood as well as on the outskirts should your pup catch a cold or need shots.
The weather, overall, will not stop
you from enjoying a walk year-round. Summers can get pretty warm, but winters rarely
see snow or ice. It can get rainy, but it is rare that there is not at least
some time during the day to get a stroll in between rain showers.
What is the terrain like in Parkrose?
The terrain through Parkrose is primarily very gentle. There
are a few rolling hills which will help you build up a bit of muscle strength
and get your heart rate up, but nothing that is insurmountable, even for a
beginner. Most of these hills are towards the north end of Parkrose. If you want
flatter terrain, take a stroll farther south.
There are not a lot of sidewalks
in this area, so it is important to use caution when walking. Some areas have
wide shoulders, but the shoulders are often used for parking. You will be
walking on a mixture of asphalt and gravel with some grass.
There is an airport
in the neighborhood, so you may find noise to be your biggest obstacle. If your dog
never gets used to the sound of airplanes taking off, you can head to the part
of the neighborhood south of Sandy Boulevard. Neighbors say it is a bit quieter
there!
How many greenways are there in Parkrose?
The only park in Parkrose itself is Senn’s Dairy Park, named
after the business that used to reside on this land. There is a lot of grass,
trees, and a path, so it can make a nice place to stop if you happen to be
walking by.
There are other options in the area for places to take your dog if you
would like to give them a good walk in nature. Joseph Wood Hill Park is a 2-acre
park that is part of Rocky Butte Park. Rocky Butte is a volcanic cinder
cone butte that offers spectacular views of the city and river. There are plenty
of hiking opportunities and the top of the butte has an elevation of 613 feet, so this is your
opportunity to get a great workout in.
Just to the west of Parkrose is Johnson
Lake Property, a large recreational area with plenty of hiking through forests
for the two of you to enjoy.
