Glenn Otto Community Park is a 6.38-acre (2.58 ha) park in Troutdale in the U.S. state of Oregon. It is the most heavily used park in the Troutdale park system.[1] The park is at 1102 E. Historic Columbia River Hwy, Troutdale, OR 97060

The park is along the Sandy River and Beaver Creek. Several drownings have occurred along the river.[2] A community organization has subsequently partnered with the city to provide lifeguard services.[3]
