Ankeny Square is part of the North Park Blocks in Portland, Oregon.

One local reporter described it as "a little nub of SW Ankeny Street between Broadway and Park".

[1] In 2014, the square was home to a food cart pod called "Grubbin'".

The pod emerged from plans by Portland Parks & Recreation (PPR) to revitalize the square.

[2][3] In 2016, Amanda Waldroupe of Street Roots said the park, "for decades, has had a seedy reputation and attracted drug use, loitering and vandalism, as it fell into neglect and disrepair".
