1) Patton Square Park celebration

Join the Friends of Patton Square Park, the Overlook Neighborhood Association, and Portland Parks & Recreation in celebrating the completion of improvements at Patton Square Park’s playground with a free, kid-friendly community party on Saturday, Sept. 14, 1-3 p.m.

The event will feature a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by neighborhood kids. We’ll also have face painting by Mystique’s Fancy Faces, community information tables, music performed by Ants Ants Ants, and free cupcakes and ice cream.
