The Historic Washington Park mail drop. This little box is located in the Zoo Store at the OREGON ZOO. The Zoo is in Portland, Oregon and Washington Park is a lovely hillside sanctuary connected to Portland's Forest Park, the largest park within a city in the United States. Washington Park offers the Portland Rose Garden, Japanese Garden and the Hoyt Arboretum as well as the Zoo. This little post box will allow your letters to be SPECIAL POST MARKED with an Oregon Zoo stamp.
