Colonel Summers Park is a city park in the Buckman of southeast Portland, Oregon, USA. The park was created in 1921 and was originally called Belmont Park for Belmont Street which runs east–west on its boundary. In 1938, it was renamed in honor of Colonel Owen Summers who, as an Oregon legislator, introduced a bill that combined the state militia units into the Oregon National Guard. Summers was the commanding officer of a volunteer regiment in the Spanish–American War, which served in forty-two engagements during the war. The park includes recreation areas and a community garden added in 1975.
