About the Park
Fans of Ramona Quimby already know Grant Park — the Beverly Cleary statues here honor the author who set her children's books in this Northeast Portland neighborhood. The off-leash area covers about an acre of grass near the soccer field, with no fencing, so it's best for dogs that won't chase a stray ball into the match. Hours follow the city standard of 5 a.m. to midnight, and there's no cost to visit. The open turf suits fetch and casual romps more than serious sprinting. If your dog needs containment, pick one of Portland's fenced parks instead; if recall is solid, this is an easy neighborhood stop in the 97212 zip.
