Discover Downtown Portland in a whole new way with Sunday Parkways!
Portland Sunday Parkways, Presented by Kaiser Permanente, returns to Downtown Portland on Sept. 14 with a brand-new route for walking, biking, rolling, and playing in a vibrant car-free environment between 12 p.m. and 5 p.m. Made possible with funding from the Portland Clean Energy Community Benefits Fund (PCEF) and led by the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT), this block party experience will highlight many of the unique amenities of Portland’s city center — its public spaces, cultural destinations, and unique local businesses.
The Sunday Parkways Downtown route features a one-way 2.3-mile block party in the heart of the city, showcasing SW Broadway and SW Park Avenue between Oak and Harrison Streets. From Mill Street, the route will highlight the Halprin Sequence, going through Pettygrove Park, continuing to Lovejoy Fountain Park on Harrison Street, and then reconnecting with Broadway.
