Parks Message

The City Parks Commission is pleased to invite the public to our 2nd annual parks forum, "Green Space Gathering".

This forum is an opportunity for the various "Friends" groups and other interested groups and organizations to inform the public and each other about the great work that they have been doing to improve our city parks and open spaces and what fun opportunities exist.

This will be a friendly and educational event where you can learn more about making the most out of Portland's wonderful and diverse park resources. On hand will be members from some of the areas most progressive neighborhood groups, recreational groups and experts from various fields to help direct, inform and educate the public on all matters related to using the parks system for relaxing, family time, exercise, recreation and ways to give back to the community by volunteering.

Thanks for attending the 2nd Annual Green Space Gathering

Here are some photos from the event. We appreciate our food local vendors who provided the delicious food for the evening. A special thanks to Aurora Provisions, The Foreside Tavern, Grace and the Rosemont Market and Bakery Brighton Ave. It was great to see some new faces and get to know some of the more familiar ones. We hope the neighborhood groups continue all of the great work they are doing and look forward to getting together once again next year. The Parks Commission.
