North Portland Sunday Parkways Celebrates 5 Years
It all started in 2008 in North Portland. The City of Portland opened up 6 miles of streets and 4 parks for people to get out and be active - and 15,000 people took us up on it. In four years the route grew, making it one of our longest - 8 miles - and most popular - 32,000 people. On June 24th we celebrate our 5th year! We have increased the mileage to 9 miles, added Marketplaces (making 6 locations), and opened up Willamette Blvd (Rosa Parks to Fiske). It is going to be amazing!!!
Let's take a stroll down memory lane...
