About Us
Tsuru Island is a 3/4 acre strolling Japanese garden created and maintained by the Gresham Japanese Garden. It sits inside 21 acres of Main City Park off of Powell Boulevard surrounded by Johnson Creek. It is a public park, free and open sunrise to sunset. Dogs are allowed on leash.
Tsuru Island, originally created in the early 70s by the Japanese American Citizens League - Gresham/Troutdale was re-birthed by retired landscaper, Jim Card, still the current Garden Director. In 2025, Tsuru Island is undergoing another renovation. The project has been funded in part by a grant from Travel Oregon. This renovation focuses on authenticity and accessibility.
After enjoying Tsuru Island, stroll to the south end of the park to the other spaces developed and maintained by the Friends of Gresham Japanese Garden.
