Portland Japanese Garden welcomes visitors of all abilities, including those assisted by a service animal. While it is our goal to serve all guests equally, we understand some of our pathways don\u2019t allow the opportunity for everyone to experience the Garden to the fullest. Portland Japanese Garden was founded on steep, hilly topography, which was the original site of the Oregon Zoo. In 1959, the Zoo moved and the site\u2019s challenging terrain kept the land unused and vacant until 1963 when the Japanese Garden Society of Oregon was looking for a space to create a friendship garden.<\/p>\n\n\n

Areas of Portland Japanese Garden are accessible according to Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards; however, the entirety of the Garden is not fully ADA accessible. We have made significant improvements to increase accessibility to be inclusive of all abilities and are committed to improving the visitor experience to ensure all guests feel welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
