Macleay Park

'Macleay Park was one of Portland?s earliest city parks. Businessman Donald Macleay donated approximately 105 acres of land in 1897, shortly before his death. Over the years, the city has acquired additional land, including much of Balch Gulch, extending park boundaries to its current northern border underneath the Thurman Street Bridge.'

'In the mid-1930s, workers with federal relief programs built a public restroom in the park. After being damaged by vandalism and a storm, park workers in the 1960s partially dismantled the structure. The ruins are now known as Stone House.'
