Normandale Park is a 13.69-acre (5.54 ha) public park in Portland, Oregon's Rose City Park neighborhood, in the United States. The park was acquired in 1940,[2] shortly after the closure of Normandale elementary school on the same site. The park was still under development as of 1947.[3] The park's existence, as well as that of Laurelhurst Park, was cited in an announced plan to reduce the size of a nearby playground.[3] In 2010 one of the city's earliest dog parks dedicated to dogs under 25 pounds (or frail or elderly) was established at Normandale.[4]
