This popular city park is located in the center of Portland’s
Southeast quadrant. Mt. Tabor is bordered by Belmont & Division St. from
the north and south respectively and squeezed between 60th & 71st
Ave to the west and east. The park can be approached successfully from any direction;
however, I suggest cruising trendy hawthorn Blvd to the footsteps of the western
slope.
City view from the lower Reservoir |
The western slope supports giant reservoirs that provide the majority of tap water to the city of Portland. Just follow any ascending path in view. All paths lead to the summit.

From the summit you have views of the downtown Portland skyline
and the busy street of Hawthorn.
There is plenty of recreation on the Mountain: Jungle gyms, picnic tables, gazebos,
monuments, running trails, amphitheater, and visitor’s center.
