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.
