You could spend a day. The park itself has a rose garden and spectacular view of Mt. Hood, but also play structure, tennis courts, & concerts during the summer. It's next to the Japanese Garden and Portland Zoo, both destinations as well. And it's a great neighborhood to walk around if you like historic homes and architecture.
