Those are just a few things that can happen when you stop at a Green Spot. Portland’s neighborhoods integrate people and the built and natural environments to form a resilient cityscape. As the city grows and develops, these Green Spots are essential to maintaining a prosperous, healthy and connected city.
The City of Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability (BPS) organizes the Green Spot activities. Visit www.portlandoregon.gov/bps/greenspot or contact Bill Beamer, 503-823-5629 at BPS for more information.
