A few blocks away from Pioneer Square is this fun common area. Not much to the fountain area, seen much more interesting in several cities, but was fun watching two gentlemen playing on the life sized chess board. The wife and I also played a best of seven on a large sized Connect Four. LOL. Had a ranger on duty and there were a handful of board games on a bench that I assume you could play on one of the nearby tables. Definitely worth your time
MoreA nice city park with free Wi-Fi. Go to elephants café for some takeout food. There are tables usually available. Sometimes there are performances or outdoor chess. Good people watching.

MoreThis spot in the centre of Portland offers a great fountain for kids to play. This is surrounded by eateries for hamburgers, salads, coffee and other drinks. Sit down and relax.
MoreThis is a nice urban Park with free Wi-Fi. It seems like it would be a good place to take young children to briefly play in the fountain. Elephants in the Fox Tower is an excellent place for food.
