Pettygrove Park is a city park in downtown Portland, Oregon, United States.[1] It is the second park in a series of urban open spaces designed by American landscape architect Lawrence Halprin in the South Auditorium District urban renewal area. The soft mounds of landscaping are responsible for the park's nickname of 'Mae West Park'.[2][3]
