The dethronement of Mill Ends Park is official. Portland’s 452-square-inch park is no longer the smallest park in the world, according to Guinness World Records. The title is now held in Nagaizumi, Japan, on a tiny plot of brick and grass.
The park is a little over two and a half square feet, with grass and a little bench. In fact, Guinness claims that the park’s creaters got the idea to create an even smaller park when they visited Portland and saw Mill Ends.
Since 1971,Portland’s Mill Ends Park, which is only 452 square inches in size, has held the Guinness World Record.Recently,after visiting Nagaizumi, Japan, the Guinness World Records declared that the town has surpassed Portland’s long-standing record for the World’s Smallest Park.
