Fall stroll in Laurelhurst Park















Less that 3 miles from our house is Laurelhurst Park. Today Robert, Jenny, Jolie, and Tiffany visited the park to take advantage of a warm and sunny Fall day.

"Laurelhurst Park is a perfect example of the City Beautiful Movement in landscaping. In 1919, the park was named the most beautiful park on the west coast by the Pacific Coast Parks Association. Thanks to the efforts of the Portland Historical Landmarks Commission, in February 2001 Laurelhurst Park was named to the National Register of Historic Places, the first city park ever listed on the national register."
