Faubion Playground

Faubion Playground is a neighborhood playground in Northeast Portland associated with Faubion K-8 School, one of the area's community anchor institutions. The playground benefits from school-quality equipment — generally better maintained than some standalone neighborhood parks — and serves the broader community after school hours and on weekends when school is not in session.

The playground is a straightforward, well-kept space with equipment appropriate for elementary-age children. It represents the kind of solid, community-rooted playground that NE Portland families rely on as an everyday destination — not a flashy destination park, but reliably good and consistently free.

For visiting families, Faubion Playground works well as a stop within a broader Northeast Portland itinerary. The surrounding NE Portland neighborhood is rich with independently-owned restaurants, food carts, cafes, and community character — particularly along NE Alberta Street (the arts district) and N Mississippi Avenue. A playground stop followed by a meal at one of NE Portland's beloved food establishments makes for a very Portland family afternoon.

Nearby Peninsula Park, just a short walk away, adds additional value: it features a formal rose garden, bandstand, and one of Portland's oldest public pools (seasonal). Combining Faubion Playground with Peninsula Park creates a fuller NE Portland outdoor experience.

Note that the playground is on school grounds and may have restrictions during school hours on weekdays. After 3pm on school days and throughout weekends, the playground is freely accessible to the public.
