GO FOR A SOAK
OR SWEAT IN A SAUNA
Portland has a unique and surprisingly diverse list of
soaking pools. McMenamins Kennedy School soaking
pool is probably one of most well-kown. In the heart of the
Concordia neighborhood, you can reserve an hour and soak
and have a drink from one of the several restaurants and bars
in the building. Neighbors and hotel guests soak for free,
visitors pay $10 (ages 0-2 are free) — go to their website or
call to make a reservation. If you’re looking for a higher end
spa experience you can visit Löyly, which offers two saunas
to choose from (social or silent) and then get a face mask or
foot soak after you simmer. Many of these are options are
clothing optional, so check their websites before
venturing off.

TIE ON
SOME SKATES
Did you know there’s an amusement park in our city limits?
Oaks Amusement Park has rides and attractions outside
during the sunnier months, but one of its biggest draws is
the large wooden roller skating rink. Visitors can also support our local roller derby champions, The Rose City Rollers!
If you’re looking for a skating rink made of ice, check out
the Lloyd Center Ice Rink, which is located in the center of
Lloyd Center Mall.
