Vibrant Communities Commissioner Dan Ryan announces improvements coming to North Portland’s George Park. Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) is partnering with the Portland Parks Foundation (PPF) and well-known North Portland advocacy group, The Kidz Outside, to develop a concept plan for the park’s redevelopment. George Park is located at the intersection of N. Burr Avenue and N. Fessenden Street.
Portland Culture & Livability Commissioner Dan Ryan secured city council approval Wednesday for a construction contract with Raimore Construction, LLC for the Mill Park project. Mill Park, a 6.2-acre site located at SE 117th Avenue and Lincoln Street in East Portland, is currently an open grassy area with no amenities beyond some mature trees, a park sign, and a bench. The development of Mill Park will include a playground, fountain, new Portland Community Garden, picnic shelter and tables, chin lone /volleyball court, Portland Loo, fitness area, paved paths including a central promenade, public art, and other park amenities.
