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.
