Tom McCall Waterfront Park, Portland, Oregon, USA Mar 18, 2026

Tom McCall Waterfront Park, a 12.5-hectare urban oasis along the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon, is one of the city"s most beloved green spaces. Each spring—typically from mid-March to early April—it transforms into a sea of soft pink and white as cherry blossoms bloom. These vibrant trees along scenic walking paths offer a peaceful escape in the heart of the city. The park also features notable landmarks like Salmon Street Springs, an interactive fountain with numerous water jets, and the Portland Saturday Market, a favourite local destination.
