History

Tryon Creek State Natural Area, established in 1903 according to the Olmsted Portland park plan, represents a significant legacy of natural space preservation within Portland, Oregon.

Initially conceived as part of a broader vision for the city’s green areas, the area’s development reflects a commitment to connecting residents with nature.

This expansive natural area, encompassing over 10,000 acres (4,000 ha), is part of a larger network of parks and natural areas managed by Portland Parks & Recreation, the State of Oregon, Metro Regional Government, the Portland Water Bureau, and the Federal Government, highlighting a collaborative approach to conservation.

The park’s origin dates back to the early 20th century, a time when landscape architects like Frederick Olmsted were shaping Portland’s urban landscape with an emphasis on natural beauty and recreation.

Its evolution continues today, maintaining its place as a vital green space within the city.
