Errol Heights park comprises 14.28 acres in Brentwood Darlington Neighborhood in Southeast Portland. The park’s boundary is irregular in shape and includes the dell and lowland property along with former home sites on the bluff. The Woodstock and Ardenwald/Johnson Creek Neighborhoods are also adjacent to the south and west of the park. It is the largest park in the immediate area, which consists mainly of a mixture of light commercial, industrial and residential uses.
