Celebrating Raymond Park Playground Opening in East Portland

Thanks to our community’s generous support for the Everybody Plays Playground Campaign, a vibrant new space for play and connection is ready for all to enjoy! We are thrilled to invite you to the grand opening celebration of the Raymond Park Playground.

This project has been a true community effort and now, 1,600 households in East Portland have gained access to a modern, inclusive, and fully accessible play area. From the smooth rubber surfacing to the sensory stations and communication boards, every detail ensures that children of all abilities have a safe, welcoming place to learn, stay healthy, and grow.

Please join Portland Parks Foundation, Portland Parks & Recreation, the Powell-Hurst Gilbert neighborhood, and local partners to celebrate this joyous moment. 

When: Friday, May 8th
Time: 2:30 PM – 5:30 PM
Where: Raymond Park (118th Ave & SE Raymond St)
What: Community celebration, brief remarks, and plenty of play!

We look forward to celebrating this milestone with you and thanking you in person for making Everybody Plays a reality at Raymond Park.
