DeNorval Unthank Park, commonly known as Unthank Park, is a city park in the Boise neighborhood of Portland, Oregon, United States.
Unthank Park is named for DeNorval Unthank, a prominent African American doctor and community leader, who was one of the first black doctors in the state. It was acquired by the City of Portland in 1966 and named for Unthank in 1969.[2] The park was rededicated in June 2011 in a ceremony honoring Unthank.[3] [4]
