Greetings neighbors. We're forming Friends of Irving Park to rally support and community engagement around our beloved park.
Promote an Irving Park for All
FRIENDS OF IRVING PARK
Did you know Irving Park is one of Portland’s oldest parks without a community-led Friends group? That will soon to be changing, as motivated neighbors across the Irvington, Sabin, King, and Eliot neighborhoods come together to officially establish Friends of Irving Park.
This citizen-driven initiative intends to be a beacon for greater community engagement, ensuring the park remains a safe and inviting green space for all—meeting the varied needs of the area’s diverse resident and visitor population.
By rallying public support and mobilizing volunteers, this Friend’s group aims to focus its energy on addressing a range of livability challenges facing the park—including solutions for the growing off-leash dog issue and recently announced 9th Avenue Greenway project.
A series of community gatherings are being planned for later this spring, inviting those interested in becoming a Friend of Irving Park to join the conversation, share their feedback, and sign-up to participate.
Look for future announcements, volunteering opportunities, and events at FriendsofIrvingPark.org or by following their Facebook page. Questions or comments can be sent to [email protected]
