Palmerton Park

I love this park. I've loved it since I was a little kid and it's still just as beautiful (can't say that about any other park nearby). The number of trees and native plants, a nice and beautiful walkway with clean bathrooms is great. The bridge is safe to walk across-watch for railing slivers though. I love how they allow natural medicine to grow in the grass like clover and plantain. It's right along a great swim spot full of yummy blackberries. WARNING if picking blackberries across the water, be aware there are poisonous red nightshade berries mingled right in next to the edible blackberries so PLEASE watch your pets and kids and do not allow them to eat those ones. Hopefully someday they will replace those with other native edible bushes like thimbleberry, Indian plum and Oregon grape. That's just wishful thinking though 😁 There is a small park for kids to play on but beware, the plastic does get really hot in the sun. Enjoy this park to the fullest and please remember to leave it better than you found it. It's a gem!

Beautiful park,I love the Bridge it's Awt,The only thing that makes me sad is the bathrooms are locked up it's sad people have to make it bad for the ones that are not At least they had that out door toilet there.But the park is very nice.

This is a great park in Rouge River. The park is clean, has lots of trees, playground, and the kicker is the Evens creek the kids ( and adults) can play in. The creek is shallow enough for some great playtime for the kids. There is also a suspended bridge you can walk across to another small park. The park has restrooms as well. Great find on a hot summer day!

Beautiful place. Not crowded at all, very peaceful. Several nice rocks at the creek side if ya like rocks. One of my favorite places

A wonderful little park in this mountain-vibe town. Very tranquil and relaxing.

Such a beautiful spot by the river. There's a suspension bridge that is fun to walk across. There is a map of all the trees planted there. It has a little playground and swings. There is a public restroom as well.

Awesome place to have events. It has a great playground and water park. Tennis courts are great and has great places to picnic.

This is a great park. It looks small from the road but it’s quite large. The Evans Creek runs through it and you can cross over it on a cool bridge. Lots of trees and a playground for the wee ones!

Great place. So many beautiful trees! All around a nice place to picnic or have a child's birthday party.

Another enjoyable day in southern Oregon got to experience this beautiful tree Park arbitarium beautiful place check it out especially during the summer

Love this little arboretum off of Evans Creek Road. Fantastic picnic tables snd benches throughout the park. Small but fun looking playground with swings and a slide. The furry friends are most welcome on a leash

Such a nice park. The park has a nice scenic walk-a-bout. There is a suspension bridge, playground for kids and the area is just beautiful.

It's beautiful. This time of year the creek is perfect for swimming even with little ones

Beautiful park, love the bridge and all the autumn foliage!

Amazing park. Celebration of life for my dear friend was there.

Very nice. Peaceful. Has restrooms that are open and clean. If you need to poop and enjoy nature from other countries, Palmerton Park should be a stop on your route

Very nice park, lotsa shade, well maintained

Nice park. The labeled trees are pretty neat.

I'd never been to this park, but loved the access to the water, watching the little fish and cray fish. Very quiet and serene.

Beautiful trees of every type in this park. Redwoods, Sequoia and many others.great spot to stop on bike rides.(or starting from park)
