The last stop on our brief NE Portland neighborhood visit was Grant Park, home turf of Beverly Cleary and setting for her books that inspired many an afternoon of adventure for Ruth's mother when she was a girl. There is a sculpture fountain located next to the playground that features Ramona, Henry, and dog Ribsy that Ruth shrieked through innumerable times. The rest of the park is lovely, well used and friendly. Tennis courts, pool, (see us there for the last Aquaducks session taking place the first two weeks of September) paths, mature hardwoods and picnic areas. This park has it all. We love NE Portland.
