Butterfly Park Naturescape

7720 SW Macadam Ave.

Once something of a junkyard for the Macadam Bay Club, this scenic, little-known riverview park nestled along the Willamette Greenway was acquired by the city in the 1980s and beautified over the years by a team of dedicated volunteers. Wildflower seeds from the Columbia River Gorge were planted to attract butterflies, and today, it's a prime bird-watching spot, too. Butterfly species include mourning cloaks and orange sulphurs.
