華盛頓公園

波特蘭華盛頓公園位於波特蘭城郊的華盛頓公園，以山丘為基礎打造的天然公園，已有上百年的歷史。公園包括波特蘭動物園、世界林業中心、波特蘭兒童博物館（成立於1946年，位於俄勒岡科學與工業博物館（OMSI））、Hoyt Arboretum（擁有超過150英尺高的海岸紅木系列，是1931年植樹園種植的第一批樹木）、國際玫瑰試驗園（成立於1917年，是美國歷史最悠久的公共玫瑰試驗園）、波特蘭日本花園（1962年在前華盛頓公園動物園的遺址上建立，此後動物園搬到了現在的位置）。初春的暖陽里，花色撩人，在這裏逛上一天實在是愜意之極。

這個公園緊挨着日本玫瑰花園，只有幾條小道，人們可以在多山、濃密的樹蔭下漫步，與大自然融為一體。我在一條維護得很好的小道上走了兩三公里，與慢跑者、遛狗的人還有散步的情侶共享這美妙的一天。公園的停車費是每小時2美元，我認為對於在大自然中度過的時間來說這是合理的。一次很棒的體驗。

On the walkway three miles away, there is a lake for boat chartering and boat sightseeing. Thousands of flowers give the park a garden-like feel. Wildlife including squirrels, ducks and geese are free-range, so the grass may be a little messy, you should pay attention when walking. It's great to have an idyllic environment in the city. Just sitting in the chair, I feel relaxed.

I spent hours walking on the walkway in Washington Park. The assistant at the Visitor Center helped me plan my route and the scenery I wanted to see. I really enjoyed the tour, but I noticed that it was a little smaller than the park on the map. So I overestimated the time needed for this hike because I completed the longest route in shorter time without walking very fast. It's really a great place for people looking for places to walk.

A good place for citizens to relax and embrace nature. The trails on the hills can walk, run and walk dogs, and the houses around them are also beautiful.
