Welcome to the City of Maywood Park, “The City Within a City”!
The City of Maywood Park is a unique and beautiful residential community of about 300 homes, located east of downtown Portland. Maywood Park: a community short on numbers but long on tradition!
Originally developed in the early 1930s, Maywood Park was planned as a special development similar to Eastmoreland, Irvington, and Laurelhurst. For many years, it has been considered one of the finest residential areas in east Multnomah County.
The City of Maywood Park, incorporated in 1967, has always been known for its spirit of community and sense of independence from the greater metro area.
Throughout the years, many great traditions have been created by the citizens of Maywood Park: The annual Easter Egg Hunt, the City-wide Garage Sale, the Holiday Lighting contest, and the Fourth of July Parade and BBQ, to mention just a few.
The City Council and residents wish to welcome you and hope that you will enjoy the special quality of life that we feel is a central attraction of Maywood Park. We are a close community, with a sense of purpose in protecting and improving our City, and we encourage you in joining us in our efforts.
One need only stroll down the beautiful tree-lined streets of Maywood Park to appreciate the obvious pride of ownership and the unique, friendly atmosphere that abounds.
