Your Favorite Park Made the News Again!
Wonder what Friends of Pier Park has been up to lately? Take a look at this recent KGW TV news video, of our neighborhood 5th graders planting in the Park.
In partnership with Sitton Elementary, Portland Parks and Recreation, Columbia Slough Watershed Council, and Confluence, this is the second year of our learning and doing, a program that engages our local youth to learn about and care for our environment, right in our beloved park! Connecting our youngest community members to the park last year from our CWSP Grant was so wonderful for our community, we wrote another grant, received funds from the Trail Blazers Foundation Live Greener Grant, and due to their generosity and other partners, we could run the program again!
But we couldn’t do this without your continued support.
Other programs and events we ran in 2022 included a music performance and a pickleball clinic. We planted a small pollinator garden, removed much ivy on No Ivy Day in October and during the Pier Park Pick-Up in April, and finished planting a Community Garden with Portland Tennis and Education as part of our Community Watershed Restoration grant we received from the City of Portland.
With your donations, we can continue to engage our diverse community in the care of Pier Park.
Together, we can keep those kids coming back and more!
- More native plants
- More neighborhood events
- More invasive plant removal

Friends of Pier Park members are dedicated to the enhancement and protection of Pier Park.
Advocate
As a non-profit group, we advocate for this beautiful park, its public pool, skatepark, tennis courts, ball fields, disc golf course, and amazing trees.
Volunteer
We also organize volunteer work parties in cooperation with Portland Parks and Recreation to remove invasive plants and graffiti, plant native trees and shrubs and improve the trails and disc course.
Meeting
We meet every month (except December) on the 3rd Monday at 6:30 pm at the St. Johns Library or Stormbreaker Brewery. All are welcome. Check our Events Calendar for updates.
Accomplishments
Our accomplishments include convincing City Hall to keep Pier Pool open, the annual Pier Park Pick-Up sponsored by SOLVE, working with Stumptown Disc Golf to improve the disc golf course, and purchasing playground equipment. Recently we advocated for Portland Parks to replace the restroom facility by speaking at City Hall, writing letters, and more. See the blog post, Pier Park Restrooms Need an Upgrade.
We are proud to say that Pier Park is safer than any other Portland park of comparable size. The hundreds of regular disc golf players who play the course that winds around and through Pier Park keep it that way.
