Reviews of Mill Ends Park (Park)

Sun Richter

This is such a cute little park with such a fun backstory. I love walking by it just to look at it for a moment and smile. Definitely not dog friendly, though.

Edward Simon

Amazing park! Such an easy walk it feels like you could walk right over it. This park is so hard to find if you sneeze you'll miss it. There's no shade so bring your own. There's no place to lay so don't think about staying long!

Paco Hadley

Great little (and I mean, Little) park near Portland's Riverfront. Very easy to miss, as it's literally in the middle of the street. The sign is adorable. Read up on its history online - otherwise you might not understand what the fuss is about.

Gabriel Fender

What an incredible piece of garbage! I’d give it 6 stars if I could hahahahehebdbfkvkrkHAHRKRJEN

Verlyn Foster

It's an amazing little park. A hidden gem in Portland. A must see.

Mario Dumouchel

Without a doubt the most magnanimous, grand park in the world (...possible hyperbole)

M K

Small park in the middle of downtown, perfect place to walk your dog... or maybe a quick getaway.

Jacob Overturf

Great area for exercise. It's quite impressive to say that I run around a park every morning for my routine. If only it had a bunk bed, there'd be so much more room for so many activities.

Heather Gonzalez

Smallest park in the world, don't blink...

Sam

Great! Best park I've ever been to. The walks are great and pretty easy. You can walk the Southeast track which goes from the Northwest end of the park to the Southeast. It runs the the whole length of the park and only take about 2 seconds. You can also walk the perimeter track which goes around the whole park. It's about 6 feet and will take you about 4 seconds to walk it. There was plenty of space for my pet ant to run around in.

Layne Doyle

It really is an adorable park.

Dan Smith

Its tiny, i missed that it was a park all together. Just passed it in passing.

Stephen Hlastala

Smallest park in the world

Greg Wilkes

Dat turnin round was miraculous

Autumn Kk

Super cute and fun

Michelle Sosa

Really worth the short walk from the downtown core, even in the rain! It’s placed in such a weird spot lol but nonetheless it really cute

Sean Hagerty

It’s really funny to watch people’s reactions after saying, “Let me take you over to Mill Ends Park, you’ll love it.”

Ryan M.

Actually pretty great little spot. Hilarious addition with a good story.

Sarah DiGiorgio

So TINY! Didn't see any leprechauns, though. :(

Jacob Lares

There wasn't much in the center of the park, as I've seen in previous photos, compared to mine (mid-April 2019). Still cool to see the world's tiniest park in the flesh.

Renata R

Tineast park in Portland. Just goes with the weird theme.

Mike R

Can’t really call this a park, since it’s one tree or bush with concrete around it. It’s worth seeing driving or biking by it. Don’t make a special trip to see the “smallest park in the world”. This is the sort of thing that embodies the keep Portland weird culture of the city. If you like novelties this might be your cup of tea. Otherwise, prepare to be disappointed.

Clydle Ibanez

Its cool

Trent Nutter

Very nice park right next to worlds smallest park. Beautiful fountain as well.

Sir Francis Drake Association org

I don't understand why they don't have parking

Saumya Jain

Small park in the middle of the road

Sam Clark

Love suntanning at this park

Neriya barlevav

come see the smallest park in the world, read about it history, and have a sense of achievement. please notice that this area is not so pleasant at night, and that the park is in the middle if the road.

James G

Not sure you can really call this a park.

Samaresh Das

Lovely experience .... world's smallest part in the heart of Portland, Oregano

Elizabeth Tam

This is definitely the smallest park I have seen! There is an interesting story that goes with the park too!

Dan Dimick Sr

Probably not a place to picnic, but worth looking up the history, also world's smallest park, if I remember correctly.

David Burns

More fun per square inch than any other park in the world.

Jason van Warmerdam

The pizza is ok for the price, but the back patio is what really makes this place special.

Jee Young Yim

This is in the middle of the crosswalk.

Valerie Tam

Check out this park when walking along the river! Its in the middle of the pedestrian crosswalk.

Miriam Maceroni-Pedrazzini

Very friendly walk nice and relaxing

Marion Larson

Wonderful little bit of whimsy on the waterfront in Portland

Ludagen

amazing park so much room to take a jog and walk my dog amazing park i cannot lie

James Holyman

Very small - 5 stars

Maria Osorio-mares

Excellent climate

Allen Mahan

Great lil' park!

RaeLyn Brummell

For such a small park you would think it would be better maintained. Trash everywhere, homeless hogging all the good benches and it's hard to find parking. Greats views though. This obviously sarcasm. I was a bit underwhelmed but happy to see it.

Robin Hankins

The only park too small for a human sized playground.

Zackary Fife

Walking through this park was a dream come true! The trails and scenery are absolutely incredible! This little hike made us want to move to Portland!

Gary Davis III

this was pretty funny yo check out. portland things to do kinda haha

Holly Ramos

This park may be the tiniest in the world but it brings the biggest smiles. Right in the heart of downtown Portland literally in the median lies this gem. They decorate it for the holidays. It's a perfect place for ants to chill.

Albert Shiue

Nice and spacious. Beautiful place to throw the frisbee around

Manohar Tn

As deemed the world's smallest park!!

Chrys Chabot

The World's Smallest Park. Just another fun little quirk that "keeps Portland weird."

Jonathan Toral

Really small, and cool.

A K

Great place to have parties, concerts, and even a wedding!

cesar huerta

This is the smallest park in the world!!!

Bryan Aalberg

Cute park with an awesome story. JFGI

Kanoelani D

Playing at the park. lol So cute!

Sonia Marcella Martinez

This park is awesome. Yes, it is just 1 tree, but it is the most unique and interesting park I've ever been to. I debated going since it was so small, but once I got there, it was totally worth it. There was something so enchanting about visiting this sweet little park.

Sarah Stevens

A must! Who can resist the smallest park in the world

Maria Jose Colmenares Bruguera

Super cute and curious park

Sam Keske

Appropriately Portland weird. Tiniest park in the world!

Jayesh Palshikar

Best. Park. Period.

Tristan Cliff

Tiniest park in the world! Well worth a visit. Great story about Patrick the leprechaun too...

Heinrich H

it's a bit too small and a bit too close to traffic for my taste. ( :

David Brown

I love that this exists! World's smallest park. That being said, it's a few plants in the median of the road so know what you're getting into when you look for it. You could literally miss it in the blink of an eye.

daryl jones

Smallest park on Guiness book of records. Cute little park. Great history along with it.

Anne-Claire Weil

Nice !

Michael Angelechio

Told my wife i was taking her to a "world famous park" and she should wear her walking shoes. Got there and once she understood why we were in the middle of a crosswalk she was dying laughing. Such a fun spot on a nice day.

John Carter

Not very well maintained lately, it used to have a cute bonsai in it years ago and even around Christmas there was a decorated tree in it. Nowadays it's some dying plant in there, not even a shrub or decent brush.

Anna Camardella

Its.... ADORABLE ! a teeny tiny little park.... A fun Portland conversation piece. Just silly enough to warrant s visit!

GeoDash ILime

I was trapped in there for hours. I can't believe someone would let a park with that size be so confusing to walk through. I found my way out the next night... in an alleyway. 10/10 would reccomend again.

Robert Byland

I've spent endless moments wandering through the beauty of this park. However, it would be nice if they posted a map of the park at the entrance. I'm just saying...

Damon Kupper

Tiny fun. Traffic light changes quickly. Don't get stuck in the middle of the street.

Fabio Lopes

This is supposed to be the smallest park in the world and it’s amazing! Blink and you’ll miss it while crossing the road! Only in a city like Portland you’d find something creative and witty like this! It’s a fun landmark and I hope it keeps being the smallest public park for a long time! Definitely worth visiting as it seems to change throughout seasons!

Jake Erbacher

It's neat

Jeremiah Scout II

Great area for a walk or jog. Lots to see on the waterfront, including the ships and today there was even a fire station boat blasting water high into the sky

Patrick Vroman

This place is so quintessentially Portland. Definitely visit at least once, so you can say you've been here.

Marc Thayer

I really like this park, but I particularly like when it gets decorated for holidays. There's a plaque on the west side of the street with additional information and history. Now you can tell people you've been to the smallest park in the world!

Alicia Jane Ryder

The world's smallest park.

AlinaLycan Lovesaries

We had a bunch of fun on the dinner cruise. Very nice!

Christopher Skelton

Cool to say that you visited the smallest park. However, it's not really all that impressive.

Adam West

It was unique, small, and pretty!

Danielle Virgil

An awesome park! Worth finding for the history and to say you've seen the worlds smallest park!

Sandy Tang

I was quite excited to see this "world's smallest park." I'll admit, standing there for four traffic light cycles just to admire and take photos of this cute concept is a bit scary - it's located at the beginning of the median. We were here during Saint Patrick's Day weekend so we were pleasantly surprised to find that this "park" was decorated with a miniature rainbow and pot of gold at the end of it! Obviously, we looked like total tourists but my derpy photo was totally worth it (:

Julie Spencer

Too fun!!

VINCENT NORTON

largest national park ive been to

Monika Ruwaimana

Quirky. Sadly no decoration on the day I visited. Was hoping for some gnome or weird stuff there.

Gary Contreras

One of the most amazing parks I've ever visited! :)) or maybe it felt best because of the company I had with me that day? In any case, it was a wonderful experience visiting this place, especially since I had built up quite some expectations. Do yourself a favor and visit this grand place; have a laugh, take some great shots and leave the place clean and protected. Remember, be respectful of nature and all that is in it, no matter the size.

Jen J. J. Johnson

This is the best park I've been to in my life. :)

Peter Carlesimo

Saying it’s a little park is an understatement! IT’S THE SMALLEST PARK IN THE WORLD. If you’re driving on Naito Parkway, don’t blink because you’ll miss it. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve passed right by without noticing it. It’s only two feet in diameter but is large in character! You can add that to the World’s Shortest River (it’s contested of course) which can be found in Lincoln City, OR and the World’s Smallest Navigable Harbor, Depoe Bay, OR (both of which I’ve also reviewed).

Adriana Medina

This is the cutest thing! Dint walk too fast otherwise you might miss it!! I just love the story behind the way this park was created! It originally was a pot hole that was an eyesore. It was approved to be made into a park. The landscape changes just like seasons do. Even if you've seen it before, take a stroll and see what's changed!

Dashiell Santelmann

Got hit by twelve cars, but the scenery and mountains were worth it. I love mountains and these were much better than any I've seen.

Andrew Jenkins

Smallest park in the world

Leah Goeres

Careful, dont blink or you might miss this teeny weeny tiny decimal point of a park. Its a nice circle shape, right in the middle of traffic (thats SW Naito PKWY).

Jonathan Hancock

This is the most adorable park in the entire world

DaMarcus Redeau

Kinda silly

Tony J

Small in stature, big in character.

Kristi K

Very cute, didn't stop for a pic but was quirky (typical pdx)

Michael Shewmake

The best park I have ever been to! Quick and easy to see the whole park. The kid loved it.

Cheow Ping Tan

What a sweet tiny little park

EnaRosa FumeroDíaz

This is really cute the tiny park, I loved it

Jenny Xu

This place is literally a small patch of land. That's it. The plant is sometimes changed out but my friend and I came here just for fun and it's the funniest thing int he world. I love taking my friends here because it's just so unique and so Portland.

Goi Andueza

So funny and cute I love it

Erik Kruse

Seriously - where else in the U.S. would you find the former base of a utility pole converted into a 15" circle of dirt and flowers and called a "park"?? It's a super unique, must-see part of any walk along the west side of the Willamette River. Locals and tourists are surprised to hear about it, but it IS tended to by the city. Grab a coffee, walk to Mill Ends Park, then enjoy the views along the river on a sunny day this summer in Portland!

Kaz

Beautiful park took a long and beautiful walk around it 46 times

Celeste Galindo

Saw the smallest park in the world. It was actually kind of funny to see it in person. It was a nice location to take a walk. It was the perfect place to see the bridges.

Stephen Yang

It's so easy to do laps around it!

Ben Stevenson

If only for the craziness which seems to define Portland, this is worth a quick visit. Careful or you'll miss this 'park' aka a pot plant in the middle of a road. Seriously. Don't know why, but we liked it anyway

Jeff Chase

It was absolutely wonderful that day was the Saturday market so much to do good food so much to see

Ben Lindahl

This beautiful park is always changing with the seasons. It's a little bit of peace in a concrete jungle, and I'm so glad that they decided to protect it and save it for our children. It can seem like the vegetation changes very quickly, so go back regularly to enjoy new sights and see a very dynamic ecosystem.

Michael Edwards

Nice .

James

The best park! Had a blast

Lawrence Locke

It's a genuine dedicated park in a city known for their lovely parks. But it's rather small... 1 foot square. In an island between lanes on about Front Avenue & Yamhill.

Aman Gudluri

Do yourself a favor and don't go in the winter. The park (or rather the plant) is dead.

Daniel Rivard

HEY! I visited the SMALLEST(a whopping 543 square INCHES!) park in the world-according to the Guiness Book of Records- in Portland, Oregon

Gaabriel Becket

Very disappointing. When we went, both the playground AND the off-leash dog area were apparently closed as they could not be seen, and the city has yet to reopen the midway and the docks as we could not find the signs to those, either! My kids were looking forward to visiting the equestrain trails, but no matter how many times we walked around the park, we could not find them, nor the stables.

Will King

Smallest park in USA very cool.

Katherine Lim

It was easy to find the world’s smallest park on Google Maps. If you visit, watch out for traffic, it’s in the middle of the road.

Shelby St.francis

So cute. I love the fact that it's the world's smallest park. Just be careful when looking it's in a traffic area

Aaron Akbar

So easy to miss! I want to say it's more of a historical oddity than anything, but it definitely has it's charm. It's not in a busy or central place like you'd imagine, but just kinda shows up out of nowhere. It seems very well taken care of, and is right at a crosswalk, so you can't realy stay at it. All in all, very enchanted and endearing.

morya chalasani

A nice calm place to be after the rush hours

Amy Cunningham

Cutest little park I've ever been too. Great leprechaun vibes. Highly recommend going to see yourself as it is a Guinness world record holder.

Rachelle Crites

Gotta visit there once so you can say you did

Eric Morris

very nice park well kept. hiking trail is a little to short tho.

W Bruns

Worlds smallest municipal park. There. In the middle of the street.

Natalie Kruzz

Of course the world's smallest park is in Portland. Portland's awesome! Mill Ends Park is basically a tree on an traffic island. Sometimes we'd get stuck because no one pushed the crosswalk button...

Cynthia Salguero

Smallest park in the world!

Prateek Sharma

Tiny cute park. Not much to do here though lol. There's a fountain nearby to hang out at.

Jodgg 777

Was the best park ive ever seen, loved the greenery and the plat sunbathed for hours played frizby and tag took unkels aunts grandmas grandpas about a total of 15 peopel and had a pic nic there litel jimmy had close call when he wondered out of the park and into the rode. Loved the smell of car exost and homeless peopel i mean trees and freash air. Overall the best park ive ever been to.

Allan Wright

Or of all the oddities in Portland this national Park is definitely one of them. A national Park the size of a man hole.

Steve Goodpaster

THE WORLDS SMALLES PARK!! FOR REAL

troy smith

What a nice park! This is where the naked bike ride left from in 2017

Andrew S

4/5 because it's a little bit cramped.

Victoria Z.

Unique little spot. It's the smallest park in the world and the flowers are changed our seasonally so there's always a new view to check out. Right in the middle of the intersection walk way so it's easy to miss, but a fun photo opp.

Andrew Hassel

Too big. I got lost. A map or a tour guide or something would be helpful. I walked around for hours lost in this park. I was thankful I found the exit.

Caitlin Chow

the cutest little park there ever was!

Grace Harris

great place to sit, relax, meditate or do yoga

MynxLynx

Impressed. This place is huge, I love the rivers, and the nature feel to it. I brought my whole family here, it is so big and nice. So much to see! Okay, but jokes aside I hope to go here, it's just funny how it's so small. I've been to Portland multiple times but I've just heard of it.

Katie Nick

"Very well maintained." - My husband

taryn stasch

As far as tiny parks go..this one is the tiniest!

Jason Galla

The cutest and World's Smallest park! You have to see it once.

Mister Guy

It's apparently one of the smallest public parks in the world, but it's REALLY small. It's maybe worth a drive-by only.

Edward Kruger

Cool park... nothing special

Dorothy Yu

It's really just a tree in the road, not sure what constitutes it as the smallest park. It's not very beautiful either, but I guess you can check out if you're in the area.

kendall krage

Always lovely to see

Heart

Worlds smallest park. It's cute.

Ryan Carris

Dont quite understand

Fletcher Stafford

great park! lots of fun for the whole family! 10/10

Martin Blais

If you play along and find funny the fact that this park has been designated as being the smallest park that ever existed in a city and hunt for a "cool" attraction for a selfie, you will enjoy taking the detour to find this small city attraction... However, if you don't have much time in town and are searching gems within Portland while you visit, don't spend your time looking for this place because there is really nothing to see here... Pictures available on Google photo will do the job more than enough...

Logan Smith

Yeehaw

Raian Speirs

I went to the worlds smallest park. i couldnt find it.

Lauren Grey

This is the smallest park in the world and it lives up to it's name. I wouldn't necessarily call it a park, but it is an adorable little bush and some flowers right in middle of a median. I wasn't even looking for it, when I noticed on our way to Tom McCall Waterfront Park.

Daniel Whitehouse

Just a tiny little park. But cool.

Mary Kim

Such a lovely park

eddie marquez

It is good for a laugh.

Corey Anson

This is such a funny thing about Portland to take visitors to. It is pretty much just a tiny spot in the median where they have planted a few shrubs, but since it's the smallest park in the world, you just have to see it.

Boaz Frankel

This a must-see spot that I bring all my guests too. Yes, it's just a former utility pole hole in the middle of an intersection, but Portland Parks & Recreation took the time to make it an official park and someone from their team actually changes out the plantings a few times a year! It's fun, cute, quirky, and very Portland!

Nicholas Keene

When you sit around this park, you can LITERALLY sit around it.

Josue Gutierrez

Could spend hours here but it's a little crowded at times. And the parking here, well tthere isn't any without crossing the street

Ben Force

Unfortunately you can still hear the nearby traffic, otherwise it's a nice way to escape the City.
