With the sunshine back, anyone looking for a quiet respite at Jamison Park better keep on stepping four blocks up to the bioswail park (Tanner Springs) where they may quietly contemplate pebbles and flowing grasses. Whenever the sun is shining and the fountain flowing, Jamison "Beach" is anything but serene. Packed with kids and strollers, nannies and grannies screams and cries, it is a literal hot spot in PDX early childhood. Last time we went, the fountain was broken. It still runs, but was no longer filling and emptying in the way that made it such a unique and attractive swimming spot. Apparently, all the babies and toddlers were yanking up the nearby monkey grass and throwing it in the water to watch it float, gumming up the entire works. Ah, youth.
