Gov. Tom McCall Waterfront Park Redevelopment Project

Help Shape the Future of Waterfront Park

Portland Parks & Recreation is launching an open design competition to reimagine Gov. Tom McCall Waterfront Park.

The design competition will invite architects, landscape architects, designers, and other creative teams to develop concept designs for the future of the park. Community feedback collected over the past year has helped shape the design competition and identify what makes the Portland Waterfront unique.

This survey asks which activities, experiences, and uses are most important to you and your community.

Your feedback will help guide design teams as they reimagine the future of Waterfront Park.

This survey takes approximately 5–10 minutes to complete.

Your survey responses are needed by 11:59pm, Sunday, August 30.

Thank you for supporting the Portland Waterfront Park Design Competition!
