Summer fun
Fun could be headed back to Portland parks this summer.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic and government restrictions, the Portland Parks & Recreation s summer parks programs were canceled in 2020. But, Commissioner Carmen Rubio and the City Council have been working on restoring funding for many things, including the summer programs.
If COVID-19 and government restrictions allow, we could see the return of:
• Free Lunch & Play: Serving more than 100,000 meals to alleviate hunger.
• Summer camps: Outdoor day camps, sports and art camps would be available at 20 locations.
There’s a new monument in Portland’s Mount Tabor Park.
Sometime last week, someone installed the sculpture atop the pedestal that used to house a memorial to Harvey Scott, the former editor of The Oregonian and an outspoken conservative who, among other causes, fought women’s suffrage. Scott’s monument was toppled during last year’s racial justice reckoning.
“I think it’s great that somebody did this,” said Mark King, who was at the park Monday helping clean up damage from last week’s ice storm. “How did they get that up here anonymously without anybody knowing? The gates are locked, what did they do?”
Portland park facilities, programs preparing to reopen February 19 2021
Portland Parks & Recreation will use up to $22 million in levy funds to reopen facilities and restart programs by this summer
The Portland City Council approved an inter-fund loan for Portland Parks & Recreation to begin reopening park facilities and restoring programs that were closed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
City commissioners reviewed the request, as well as a revised Parks & Rec budget Wednesday, Feb. 18.
The request seeks to leverage the five-year 2020 Parks Operating Levy that Portland voters overwhelmingly approved at the Nov. 3 general election. The levy is expected to raise $45 million in the first year and $48 million in the following years. The council promised to reopen park facilities including swimming pools and restart programs this summer if the levy passed.
