Cathedral Park
North Portland, about 6.32 miles from downtown, in Multnomah County.
My notes on Cathedral Park begin with lots averaging 5,232 sq ft and a tree canopy of 22.6%. In the street records, I found an average block length of 282 ft, shorter than 80% of Portland neighborhoods, and 81 transit stops within a quarter mile. Baltimore Woods Natural Area and Cathedral Park are among the parks inside the neighborhood. Sidewalk coverage is estimated at 59.5%.
