Washington Park is a light rail station in Portland, Oregon, United States, served by TriMet as part of MAX Light Rail. Situated between Sunset Transit Center and Goose Hollow/SW Jefferson St station, it is the 17th and 13th station eastbound on the Blue Line and the Red Line, respectively. The island platform station makes up a part of the Robertson Tunnel beneath Portland's West Hills. It is the only completely underground MAX station and at 260 feet (79 m) below ground, it is the deepest transit station in North America.
Washington Park station opened in September 1998 as part of the Westside MAX extension to Beaverton and Hillsboro. It serves its namesake park with its head houses located in a plaza surrounded by the Hoyt Arboretum, Oregon Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Oregon Zoo, and World Forestry Center. Various hiking trails, some a part of Portland's 40-Mile Loop, connect the station to other parts of Washington Park, including the International Rose Test Garden and the Portland Japanese Garden.
