Deering Oaks Park

The Forever Park

Deering Oaks Park is a 55-acre public park in Portland, which has a baseball diamond, tennis, volleyball and basketball courts, a playground, splash pad and a pond with fountain and duck house and is located west of downtown Portland.

In 1875 the Deering family had offered fifty acres to be used as a “park forever” on the condition that real estate tax on their remaining property would not be increased for ten years.

The fifty acre Deering Oaks was deeded to the City of Portland in 1879.

The park was designed by William A. Goodwin, City Civil Engineer.
