Millenium Plaza Park Fountain.

Best of all, most are free to visit.   Let other moms know about your favorite water hole!

Portland Fountains:

Take a tour of the most popular Portland Fountains with Walk Portland
In the summer, fountain tours can be arranged that are great for kids. On that tour, we visit
at least five interactive Downtown Fountains. We also ride MAX and the Portland Streetcar (both free in that area of town). Bring a swimsuit, towel, snacks, and sunglasses. It's a wet and wild experience you won't soon forget!

~A seaside in the city! Jamison Square and fountain is a fun place to go if you live in the city or out.  We (country folk) drove 20 minutes into town on a weekday and the kids thought it was worth it. Shady spots are at a premium.  We pushed a baby stroller right  up to the "surf" and the older kids (8, 6, 5) splashed around and enjoyed the "waves" rushing over the stones.  This would be  fun place to visit when you have out of town guests...a great place to people watch and enjoy a slice of Portland urban life.  Caveat: The rough stones and wading area floor snagged up the kids new swim wear terribly.  Maybe wear old suits?

~Great fun. Often crowded on weekends.  Warning no public bathroom anywhere near by. - Betsy,  NW Portland Mom of 2

~Betsy, There are bathrooms across the street from Jamisen park in the Hot Lips Pizza mall....   Caroline, NW PDX Mom of 1

~We Loved this fountain!  Went on a weekday around 5ish and it was not crowded at
all and even got front row parking.  Our 2 year old loved it.. and so did we!

~Wonderful place to cool off, picnic and play on the toys! - Dawn, Beaverton Mom of 1

~This fountain would be fun for bigger kids. My kids (8 and under) thought the upward streams of water were somewhat intimidating - like  firehoses shooting up their backsides!   A small bit of shade can be found surrounding the fountain.  Their is a shady park adjacent with a small play structure.  We probably wouldn't return to this fountain unless we moved to the  neighborhood.  A nice place to get wet...if you don't happen to have running water at home.

~Cute!  At first glance this new fountain looked a little "weak".  Wrong! This one has fun little surprise "squirts" and intermittent streams that make it a blast for younger kids,  older kids, and even grumpy mamas. :)  The park is new, so there is little to no shade unless you are under the pavilion. Wear hats and sun block!  Near Streets of Tanasbourne.

Great fun and a learning opportunity too!  My little water baby loved splashing in the water feature. No area is too deep, and there are little geysers and waterfalls to play in.  - Krystal, Wilsonville Mom of 1

This is a great park that features fun interactive water features for all ages. There are covered picnic areas and lots of open grassy areas. The down side, however, is that is somewhat close to a busy road. For a schedule of operations call the water feature hotline at 503-685-6356.  Mama B, Wilsonville Mom of 2

Tualatin Commons Fountain

The fountain is at the Commons in Tualatin. Next to the “lake”, by Haydens and across from Haggens. This is a really big fountain that does kind of a synchronized water dance. It was made especially for the purpose of playing in and the water is chlorinated. On hot days, there is usually an ice cream truck or Italian ice stand. There is also three restaurants nearby and a grassy area. Since it is pretty much on the lake, some people let there children actually play in the lake water, which I recommend against. It is filthy, stagnate and full of ducks and poo, but its nice to look at and the fountain is lots of fun!  Brynn
