FINAL THREE SITES SELECTED
Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) announces that, thanks to continued input from neighbors and project stakeholders, there are now only three sites under consideration for the North Portland Aquatic Center (NPAC)
Final three sites, listed in alphabetical order:
Columbia Park
Northgate Park
University Park
Please join us for Community Workshop #3 on Thursday, April 27, 2023 at César Chávez School (full details are available on the NPAC project page and below). The PP&R project team will share preliminary design drawings of what a future North Portland Aquatic Center would look and feel like for each of the final three sites.
"Community engagement is at the forefront of this project because we see it as a 100-year investment in North Portland,” says Dan Ryan, Portland Commissioner of Culture & Livability. “This facility will address historical gaps in access and service quality for the community. I’m thankful for the thoughtful and considerate input that community members are providing Portland Parks & Recreation.”
