Port Orford

1.) Battle Rock Park - The beach side park in the town of Port Orford, Oregon, commemorates the early history of this area at the famed Battle Rock. There is an excellent visitor's center here and one of the most spectacular views on the southern Oregon Coast. The site also lends itself well to the Annual 4th of July Jubilee fireworks. The park serves as a natural amphitheater for the spectacular display.

2.) Buffington Park - After turning west on 14th Street, you will find the entrance and parking area at the corner of Arizona and 14th. Buffington Park has something for everyone. A playground with swings and slides, A world-class skate park with a beautiful cradle, A horse arena, A baseball field, A newly redone basketball court, Newly renovated horseshoe pits, A miniature golf course, Tennis court, Butterfly Garden, and Plenty of benches and picnic tables. What a mouth full! :) but you can surely say that this park really does have everything.

3.) Humbug Mountain State Park - The park and campground are dominated by Humbug Mountain (elevation 1,756 feet) and surrounded by forested hills. The campground enjoys some of the warmest weather on the Oregon coast as the surrounding mountains offer protection from cool ocean breezes. Many visitors enjoy windsurfing and scuba diving. Hiking to the top of Humbug Mountain is a major activity.
