Butterfly Park

[3] Located at 7720 South Macadam Avenue, the park includes a natural area and walking paths near the Willamette River.

[3] The natural area provides important habitat for butterflies,[3] including mourning cloaks and orange sulphurs.

[2] At the park entrance, a rock garden near an interpretive sign features columbines, penstemon, fireweed, and other flowering plants.

Vegetation in the park, once dominated by Himalayan blackberries, includes native grasses, wildflowers, and dogwood.

[5] It took about 10 years to organize and develop the park, formerly a "derelict patch of land"[5] near the Macadam Bay Club, a residential houseboat community.
