What we’re about
Mt Tabor Park is a gem of natural beauty in southeast Portland. We have a variety of activities and opportunities for engaging with the park and with others in the community. Come and pull weeds with Weed Warriors, or join a Foot Patrol to help keep the park free of litter. We also have an education program called the Urban Nature Series, where you can learn about native plants, history, geology, and more.
