Peppermint Park

Every time I see this park it looks considerably nicer than it did the time before. It’s meant to be apart mostly for toddlers and grade school children. Although at first I was turned off by the no dogs sign I realized that in Portland with our Somalian community that if dogs are allowed to play in the park Somalian children may not want to or be able to for religious reasons. It’s a tiny park not really good for dogs anyway.
The first time I saw this park it was midsummer and probably minutes from sunset, it didn’t look as nice as it did the next couple times and perhaps it’s because it’s actually been cleaned up or repainted, or perhaps it’s because the rough elements hasn’t been seen in any of my following passing by’s. I believe now that the neighborhood daycares and/​or preschool uses park that parents are getting stricter and the police as well about keeping the drug addict and troublemakers and homeless winos from using the park 4 there less child oriented usages.
The park is at Cumberland and Montgomery and had a to jungle gyms and 10 benches and some grassy areas to sit or play or picnic on.
If I was a kid I would give it a 5 star
