Marquam Nature Park is a 203.5-acre (82.4 ha) park, located in the gulch northeast of Marquam hill in southwest Portland, Oregon, United States. The park was acquired by Portland Parks & Recreation in 1979.[1] Marquam Nature Park is in Southwest Portland in the Tualatin Mountains, also known as the West Hills, and has several miles of hiking trails.[2]

## Description and history

[edit]

Marquam Nature Park includes part of the Marquam Trail, which connects to the 40-Mile Loop. The natural area includes many native plant species, including bigleaf maple, Douglas fir, red cedar, and western hemlock. The park's entrance features a shelter with interpretive displays and maps.[1] The volunteer organization called Friends of Marquam Nature Park formed in 1968 after neighbors of the park successfully prevented housing development on Marquam Ravine.[3]

In 2013, Friends of Marquam Nature Park and the Regional Arts & Culture Council funded a mosaic project for one of the shelter's walls. The project cost $17,600; assembly began in August, and the dedication took place on September 28, 2013 following its completion.[3][4]
