About the Park

Pier Park is a beautiful park in North Portland with many amenities for park visitors. Home to many trees, there are little gems throughout the park, from small pollinator patches featuring pollinator-friendly and native plants to a fairy garden and the new home of the Belmont Goats!

PP&R has also worked in collaboration with the Friends of Pier Park for many years in supporting park stewardship efforts to sustain this special green space as a resource for neighbors, community, and wildlife for future generations. To learn more about this friend group, please visit their website.
