I hear parking at the Portland Japanese Garden is difficult. What’s a better way to get there?
Parking near the Garden fills up quickly, especially on weekends and sunny days. Instead of dealing with limited, metered parking, consider taking public transit! Ride the MAX Blue or Red Line to the Washington Park MAX Station, then hop on the Washington Park Free Shuttle Loop to reach the Garden. You can also take TriMet Line 63 directly to Portland Japanese Garden. If you prefer a scenic walk, you can hike up from the MAX station—just be prepared for a bit of a climb!
