PDX Christmas - Mill Ends Park

This is the smallest of the Christmas displays that I will be posting about this year, but it is pretty adorable!

This was my first time visiting Mill Ends Park. I have gone walking around that area a lot, and it is completely possible that I have passed right by without noticing it. That should be less of a problem now that the sign is there, new since May: https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/portlands-tiny-mill-ends-park-now-has-its-own-tiny-sign/283-557571669

The concept of the tiny park is fun, especially in a city that also has Forest Park, one of the largest urban forests in the United States. But if you go now, it is all decked out for Christmas, including a snowflake start at the top of the tiny tree. Surely that's worth the trip.

One helpful hint:  there is not access to a Walk button on the median, and the crosswalks for crossing Naito are not automatic like most of the lights downtown. It may be helpful to have your party take turns. There are often other people around who will push the light, but there are no guarantees for that, while traffic is almost certainly guaranteed.

It is all very Portland.
