“An old facility but a goodie. It is well maintained, beautiful inside and out.I attended a small school graduation there and the space was more than adequate.Things I noticed:A lovely stage, never found an A/C control (so verify if you plan a summer event), handicap access is available,&Women’s restroom: I found the restroom stall size inadequate to maneuver comfortably and I am only a size 18 so certainly do not think it would afford room to move for elderly with cane/walker or handicap unless you leave the stall door open. This might be acceptable accommodation for you because there is an outer room that can be used for this (and nursing mothers) and the door between the main hall and that outer room can be closed.”

“My family stayed here for a week. It's an awesome, fun stay for kids. Big kitchen and dining area. Tons of play rooms. Arts and crafts center. My son got to pick out a few toys even! Love this place!”
“This is the most amazing group of people. I will be forever greatful. They work daily making the lives of feral/stray cats healthy, to live happier lives.
Thank you Feral Cat Coalition!”
“Inquired about renting the place for a quinceanera, not only did we get a great price for the rental but they also cater and offer clean-up , everything at a very reasonable price around 12-1300.00 for 6-7 hrs of use plus they have a bar with bartender , clean restrooms and video gaming room too, dance floor,stage tables and chairs everything you'll need in a cozy friendly atmosphere with pro service's , we highly recommend American Legion Post 180 and we ourselves will keep coming here first for all our family gatherings, thank you Leeann !”
“We pretty much only use the pool here, both for open play swim and swimming lessons for the kids. Never had any issues. The slide is almost always open during open swim. Shout out to the lifeguards who scan the water non-stop like robots. I even came in at 4:05pm recently and open swim had just started 5 minutes before. Not a single soul was in the pool, yet all three lifeguards were scanning the water anyway. I chuckled out loud at the sight, but honestly, it's a good sign that they take their jobs seriously and stay on task.”
“Nice library. We used the Willamette room for and event the wheeled chairs and tables were great for setting up. Very grateful for the room. Just a side not no food or drink allowed in this room. There is free parking out front.”
“Whether beginning a new life path or wanting to increase your knowledge of a purposeful life, this Center is absolutely a fantastic vehicle to accomplish either goal.”
“Man, oh Man Alan Singly is such an amazing instructor. Originally, I brought my oldest boy but saw the progress from no sing to sing with confidence, so I decided to bring my other son to Youth Music Project but only with Alan Singly, because this instructor is truly amazing with kids!”
“A year ago we applied to be a waiting family with Choice Adoptions and now a year later are snuggling our precious son. The Choice team is caring, professional, present and honest. They advocated well for our son's birth mom and our family at every step of the process. We learned a lot about the compassionate role that adoption can fill in the local and global community. I highly recommend Choice Adoptions for any loving family longing to welcome a child into their home, as well as to the brave birth mom's looking to choose life for their baby amidst the challenges that come with life and love.”
“I found this center very welcoming and refreshing as I have been exploring different communities since moving to Portland. For the first time in my exploring, I did not feel like beliefs were being pushed onto me. The Sunday meeting consisted of a nice spread of meditation, qi gong, and a dharma talk.”
“Went to the farm for the first time today to pick up a spring garden kit. We were warmly greeted by friendly people and allowed to tour the farm. They teach kids about farming and that's such a valuable skill to have.”
“This drop off center has great hours and is easy to pull in and out of. Staff is always friendly and helpful. They don't take large items like furniture so plan for that. Drop off area is covered and protected in the rain.”
“It’s like a precious gem in the middle of Lake Oswego! This used book store is similar to Powells except all the books are reasonably priced, it’s super clean, tons of genres to choose from. The staff is extra friendly and helpful. I love this store!”
“There's a comment here about "homeless hanging around waiting for items before it goes to the public store" etc. Goodwill is founded on helping these exact homeless people that the said individual thought was a "bad impression". I imagine that these homeless folks don't mean to give a "bad impression" while they're fighting for their lives literally and/or metaphorically due to challenges that we know absolutely nothing about. There was a Mayor in another state that dressed up as a homeless person to see how their city treated them and, almost needless to say, was disheartened at best. There are other Mayor's, Officials etc. in other states that do the same thing so you actually never know who's who, although it really shouldn't matter bc we need to remember humanity and compassion first and foremost, in addition to remembering to be grateful for the things and lives we have bc much of the homeless folks (God bless them!) used to live "normal" lives like the rest of us and to also remember that kindness truly is the highest form of intelligence.”
“Came to volunteer for a school field trip, this place is tightly wound. Great opportunity for kids to get some real life understanding, although some took it more serious than others. The staff running the place acted almost like micro manager CEOs. The kids seemed like they had fun going around shopping and buying stuff for themselves and their stores.”
“We visited a relative who lives here. The activities available are excellent; lots of variety for active seniors. The restaurant and snack bar are very good and the prices are good. The staff are friendly. Word of warning: the trip from the airport seemed both long and complicated, but I guess big cities will always be that way.”
“Effective and comprehensive community resource. A unifying force addressing many needs co ordinating with others and providing a variety of volunteer opportunities (clothes closet, food bank, maintenance, cleaning, kitchen, etc.).”
“ST Vincents is the best period they do an amazing job serving clients and a lot of time they get alot of grief from rude clients that come in being demanding and being just rude we have to remember alot of these people that are there to serve us they are not getting paid so they are doing it out of the kindness of their hearts so maybe clients need to understand that they need to start being more greatful because I myself have the most respect for the individuals who serve us your attitude towards the staff is going to play a role in how your treated you can't go in there being rude and expect the workers to just smile and be nice you get back what you put out”
“I was prudent enough to first research on the store's web-site what their hours/days of operation were. Finding them closed on a Monday would have been distressing, but my foresight saved me from such, since they are closed on Mondays and Sundays. I found the staff to be very accommodating and willing to go out of their way at the two times that I patronized the shop. Their prices seem reasonable and selection was good.”

“I have to be honest I haven’t been here yet, due to a knee replacement recovery and months one illness after. I think I might have been there years ago.. after a disaster of a back surgery. My memory is slipping
And with all that introduction, I have been following me for a very long time and then I started following the people that we’re following you and reading their messages
About their bodies and how much better they feel . About an acupuncture – bring some peace and food that saves them from compulsive behavior.,
I am asking I am 77 years old and lately I am struggling with all kinds of things, but working very hard to get better listening to all the suggestions from my wonderful doctor and my pt Doctor I will see you again Monday. I hope more exercises that will lead me outside and teenager in more ways to challenge my body and healthy way
You keep up your good work. Sounds like there were some bumps in the road which I hope you work that really kind of a road bump everywhere I go so I’m standing up now so many people need help.
Anyway, thank you for being there”
“We went to the Celebration of Life service for Lloyd Farthing Jr. who passed away in November 2025. The Elks Lodge was nice and the service was very good the pictures showed gave good narrative of his very active life. Karen his current wife and April did a great job putting his Celebration together. I was married to Lloyd for 10 years and we have a beautiful daughter April Kai married to Cody and her 2 daughters. Everyone that talked about Lloyd had sincere love for him. He will be missed by all who knew him in Portland and the surrounding areas, all the way to Texas where most of his family lives. Good bye Lloyd until we meet again on the other side. Debra Farthing”
