Explore Your Park at Mt. Tabor Park Playground

About this adventure

Portland Parks' environmental educators kick off the fall Explore Your Park series beside the playground at Mt. Tabor. Families drop in any time during the two-hour window, collect a scavenger-hunt stamp card at the check-in table and set off to find the signed stops around the park, stamping each one; staff are on hand to help younger children. Activity tables near the start have hands-on nature materials and 'creature features', and warm cider and cocoa help on a chilly morning. Children who show staff a finished card get a sticker. It runs rain or shine, and suits toddlers on shoulders as well as school-age kids who like to race between clues.
