Older, but not as well known, the Peninsula Park Rose Garden located in North Portland is Portland's first public rose garden. As you step into the sunken rose garden, you walk through lush paths, sweeping archways and over two acres packed with nearly 9,000 traditional rose plantings. The octagonal bandstand was constructed in 1913. It was used for World War I patriotic demonstrations and is now the site for many weddings and concerts. The fountain in the center of the garden is over 100 years old.
