Protecting & Supporting
North Portland Natural Areas & Trails,
Parks & Community Centers,
Pools & Sports Facilities
“You can’t measure in numbers the wide-ranging benefits of a strong, well-supported parks system. How many at-risk kids are safer because they have a place to go, people who care? What healthcare costs are avoided because active recreation helps to keep people fit? What businesses decide to move to an area because the quality of life includes an excellent park system?”
—Charles Jordan, Former Portland City Commissioner and Director of Portland Parks & Recreation
