A tiny, one-tree shrubbery park in Portland has, after more than five decades, lost its title as World’s Smallest.

Mill Ends Park, which measures just 452 square inches, was officially recognized as the tiniest in the world by Guinness World Records in 1971. Five years later, on St. Patrick’s Day, the city of Portland formally adopted it as an official park.
