I think this review is for the off leash path by the slough. This path is awesome! There are waterfowl and a gorgeous view. Its flat and paved and you can let your dogs run.

We were at P.I.R. for the Manic Rugged 5K obstacle course. Participated with my 13 yr old son and had the absolute most amazing time. We will be attending next year without a doubt.Gratitude for all the sponsors and P.I.R. for putting on the event.It out did all expectations that I had it was exactly what they said it would be...Muddy, fun, festival environment, memorable.Got the opportunity to donate my running shoes for a good cause after the race. The fact that I got to connect with my son through a positive event is what its all about.Once again thank you to P.I.R. and everyone involved in putting together this years Rugged Maniac 5k 2019.

I went here for Friday night of a rally race. It was really cool how you close you could get to the cars as they raced around both the paved and off road part of the track. It was also great how you could walk in pit row and see the teams working on their cars between each stage.

Really awesome place to visit day or night and generally very safe feeling. This is probably the hidden smoke spot for 90% of Beaverton teenagers though so prepare for that if the sun is down. Things can get really crazy with the reefer madness and what not. Anyways overwhelmingly this is a great lookout with nice views and good areas to sit and chill.

We came here for the PIR Winter Wonderland Light Show. It was AWESOME! The kids were Ooh and Aah-ing the whole way. Its a great holiday tradition, and the proceeds go to Sunshine Division to help children and their families who might not have a Christmas otherwise. What could be better ?

For the past several years Portland International Raceway has hosted the Society of Vintage Racing Enthusiasts (SOVREN) end-of-summer racing event and in conjunction with that, the All British Field Meet (ABFM). This now takes place the weekend after Labour Day since the Portland Grand Prix for Indy Cars takes place on Labour Day weekend. The ABFM fills the grass area between the racing paddock and the water feature to the west. Seven British car clubs coordinate the ABFM, and all types of British cars are there to be seen - from three wheel Morgans to stately Rolls Royce and Bentleys. Thank you, PIR, for hosting this fun annual event.

Winter Wonderland at PIR. The lines to get in were insane, but expected as it was JUST before the holidays. There was a coffee shop in the parking lot for walk ups. Great display. The only issue I had was the other cars that stopped for photo ops, effectively holding up the lines.

Historic Vanport is hard to notice actually. If you dont know the history already then theres nothing to teach or inform you. No big monuments, or signs easily noticeable.

Review №48

Ive only been here twice in the last 15 years, both for visits were for the light display. Which seemed way more spread out than I remember from years ago. Prices are descent for having a car full of people who want to see some cool lights.Ive never seen a race here, and really dont plan on seeing one anytime soon. So I cannot comment how how this place looks or how packed it is during the day.

Vanport is an old housing division that was destroyed by a flood after the war and the sports car guys took it over. That eventually was built into Portland International Raceway. Nice facility with shade trees and lots of grass and seating. I go there to watch vintage racing and always like the action. Great place.

Review №69

I dont think its worth the amount they charge. There were places that were blacked out and we were bored b/c we had to drive slowly behind other cars. Long lines.

Review №71

I was actually at Pro Drive taking a snow and ice Winter driving course in a skid car. I found out during conversation with the instructor and my other classmates that the entire area including the raceway are indeed built on top of what is left of historic Vanport. That doesnt necessarily mean that theres a whole lot of historic then port left considering that the storm the year before I was born in 1964 destroyed it.

The City of Portland owns the facility. The races are great to watch and the track is nearly two miles long. Great experience

Review №86

Great off leash dog park, with a wildlife sanctuary right along the Northern perimeter. Just off I-5, so easy access. No porta potties unfortunately, but open and flat for easy walking, running with your pooch. Only fenced, along one side, so not appropriate for dogs that take off. Several acres to run in. Occasionally used for RV shows, swap meets and other public events.

Delta park west is one of the citys best off-leash dog walking areas. The meadow is occasionally borrowed for overflow parking by the Expo Center or Portland International Raceway.
