Some parks at some times. Many are big enough that all the kids are on one side where the kids amenities are located and adults are on the other more contemplative side with the gardens and giant cooling trees. Some parks, like the one with the bridge, have no kid amenities. The concentration of kids stuff to one portion of the park or the total lack of kid play structures at others seems to be by design. Being at the kids area during feeding times is bloody chaos. I won't go to free swim, it's like a pee bath. Pools seem to have a subtle order as well. A few pools are too cold for kids to play in but are laid out great for lap swimming. Others have a hard divide between the lap, old folks aerobic area and the kids area. Others are just wondrous kid zones.an army of kids running around Portland's parks during the summer is gonna be like a cross between Portlandia and Lord of the Flies.
