Portland Sunday Parkways 2010 | Five Neighborhoods
The City of Portland held its first Sunday Parkways event in North Portland, June 2008 and it was such a wild success, there are now 5 planned throughout the city this summer.
Sunday Parkways is the perfect opportunity for you and your family to get out and be active right in your own neighborhood. With the streets closed from car traffic, the 6-8 mile routes connect Portland’s beautiful parks and offer a chance for participants to listen to music, grab a snack from a local food vendor or peruse the local gift vendors for a souvenir. Walk, run, or bike the city streets filled with surprises around every corner...performers, activities and food – all traffic-free. Check out the video at the bottom of the page!
Little Bay Root has plenty of goodies to strap on for the ride!
A 2-way route of city streets open to walk, bike, roll, run, jump and skip - without having to watch out for cars! The 5.8-mile Northeast Portland Sunday Parkways route will have two loops, connecting Woodlawn, Alberta, Fernhill and Wilshire Parks. Food, music and activities are located in the parks and along the route. Download PDF of the Northeast Route
