Mt. Tabor Park

They don't call Mount Tabor a mountain for nothing. This park is actually an extinct volcanic cinder cone, a small mountain in the city. Miles of trails and roadways wind through tall trees and well-maintained landscape, and most lead to the top, a trip rewarded by breathtaking views of downtown and the West Hills from one side, Mount Hood and the outer Eastside from the other. Mount Tabor is filled with joggers and bikers building up their endurance on either the steep roadway or steps. In addition, there are tennis courts on the west and northeast sides of Tabor and basketball courts on top. With its views of Portland, barbecue facilities and shady areas, Mount Tabor makes a great picnic location.

National Register of Historic Places

The reservoirs in Mount Tabor Park were nominated and listed in the National Register of Historic Places in January, 2004.
