Description
The park, named after William S. Harney, was acquired in 1979.[1] The Oregonian's Anna Griffin described the park as a "postage stamp-sized swath of green, a former vacant lot and eyesore that neighbors pushed to turn into a park".[2] Features include a basketball court, playground, soccer field, and softball diamond. It has hosted a climbing wall,[2] as well as Movies in the Park,[3] and was one of 30 parks announced to receive basketball court improvements as part of a $1 million project funded by Nike Inc. and the Portland Trail Blazers in 2018.[4][5]
