Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge is a city park of about 141 acres (57 ha) in southeast Portland, in the U.S. state of Oregon. Located in a floodplain along the east bank of the Willamette River near Sellwood, the park is known for attracting a wide variety of birds.[2] In 1988, the park was named Portland's first wildlife refuge,[3] and in 2004, it was designated the city's first migratory bird park.[4]
