1) Help make Patton Square Park fun for everyone
Friends of Patton Square Park members are excited to announce the launch of their campaign to raise funds for much-needed improvements to Patton Square Park’s playground. Their project’s goal is to make the playground more accessible and more interactive for kids under the age of five.
For more information, visit the GoFundMe page. If you can contribute to this important project, thank you in advance. Whatever you give will make a difference. And if your employer matches employee donations, please share the campaign information with them.
If you are a business owner and would like to make a donation, contact Cynthia Sulaski to discuss.
Friends of Patton Square Park is a committee of the Overlook Neighborhood Association, a registered non-profit.
2) Portland’s pedestrian plan open for public review
After two years of study, the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) is ready to showcase PedPDX: Portland’s Citywide Pedestrian Plan for public review. The bureau is seeking feedback from Portlanders to help PBOT shape the plan for the better before it goes to City Council in late Spring. The public comment period is open until May 3.
Please take a moment to look over the plan to see if it meets your walking safety needs in Overlook. Share your thoughts with PBOT.
3) Overlook tree planting opportunities
Want to get your spring started off right? Volunteer with Friends of Trees for our neighborhood’s annual planting. Meet neighbors and plant some of the 165 trees that will be planted in one of four Portland neighborhoods (Overlook, Arbor Lodge, Kenton and Portsmouth).
The tree-planting event will take place on Saturday, March 16, 8:30-1. Volunteers should show up at North Portland Eagles Lodge (7611 N Exeter Ave.)
Volunteers are needed to help with planting (either by bike or car) , refreshments (providing food for volunteers) and clean up. If you have a truck (without a topper) that you’d be willing to drive – let organizers know! More volunteer information is available online. You can also email question to overlook@plantiportland.org.
