Parking
All visitors who travel by car to World Forestry Center are required to pay for parking in lots managed and monitored by The City of Portland within Washington Park, which has a pay-by-space meter system. Visitors are encouraged to take advantage of the MAX Light Rail station that comes right to our campus. The MAX park-and-ride lots are generally available evenings and weekends. For more information call TRI-MET at 503-238-RIDE or visit their website.
You can also visit Explore Washington Park’s website to learn about overflow parking shuttles, transportation options, and general park information.
When planning your visit, please be aware that special events such as Zoo Concerts and other peak times can create parking shortages. Parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis to all people visiting any of the institutions. We cannot reserve or guarantee parking for any events.
