Lovely large park right on the Columbia River. It has a large playground for kids, wading pool in the summer, great people watching, some food/ fare, can have small festivals there, picnic, walking trail etc. Lots of huge mature trees. Go walking, biking, skateboarding, roller blading on the path. Happy place!

This is a nice local cruise on the Columbia River which also serves lunch and/or dinner. Nice way to get a tour around the local area while sightseeing from the water, and still getting in a decent dinner. I dont recommend for really young kids though, they seem to get antsy (tried it!)
