Farragut Park is a public park in the Piedmont neighborhood of Portland, Oregon. It is bordered by North Kerby Avenue, Farragut Street, and the railway line.

The 14-acre park contains a playground, a baseball diamond, basketball courts, a water playground, accessible restrooms, and picnic tables.[1]

Acquired in 1940, the park, like the adjacent street, was named after David Farragut, a naval officer in the American Civil War.[1]
