3. Sunday Parkways Returns to In-Person Events this Summer!

Exciting news! Portland Sunday Parkways presented by Kaiser Permanente is back in-person for its 15th anniversary! At these family-friendly events, streets on the route are closed to car traffic so that you can bike, walk, roll and play in Portland’s largest public space, its streets.

The Sunday Parkways Team will continue to monitor the conditions of the COVID-19 health pandemic and plan to follow all state guidance from the Oregon Health Authority to ensure the health and safety of all community members.
