news: Alliance Forms to Address Challenges Facing Washington Park

Washington Park is a 460-acre campus, home to 5 non-profit cultural, educational & environmental institutions (Children’s Museum, Hoyt Arboretum, Japanese Garden, Oregon Zoo, World Forestry Center), plus Portland Parks’ internationally acclaimed Rose Gardens, numerous historical monuments, and 14 miles of trails. Yet surprisingly, there is no single government entity or non-profit in charge of Washington Park as a whole. Historically, each piece of Washington Park has been governed and managed separately, currently involving 5 non-profits, all 4 divisions within Portland Parks & Recreation, Metro, Tri-Met and the Water Bureau. As a result, the shared challenges of this 460-acre campus have never been fully addressed.
