Thank you to everyone who joined us at Portland Heights Park (Strohecker’s) on Saturday, June 7 to unveil the design options for the park’s new playground. Portland Heights Park is one of the three locations that is part of our Everybody Plays Campaign that’s building new playgrounds in three parks throughout the city in partnership with Portland Parks & Recreation.
In addition to unveiling the playground design options, we also got to enjoy a final game of the season for two of Lincoln Youth Baseball’s teams, and celebrate some local partners including Hoyt Arboretum Friends, RecTennis, Free Arts NW, Nicole’s Face Painting and Dream Big City. And there’s not better way to cool down on a hot day in the city or celebrate your final little league game of the season than with a fun ice cream treat from local ice cream truck, Heightscream, who generously donated their time to the campaign!
Missed the event and want to help select the next playground? We are also collecting design input online through June 23. Please share your design selections and input for the Portland Heights Playground Project on the online survey. Your insights for the playground areas are essential to designing the best future playground at Portland Heights Park.
Thank you to everyone who has also supported our Everybody Plays! Campaign, bringing new, inclusive playgrounds to three parks around Portland, and increasing access to healthy activity, outdoor fun, and inclusive play equipment. Get involved here.
