(pronounced loo-WIT)
Spread on 16 acres adjacent to Shaver Elementary School in northeast Portland’s Argay neighborhood, Luuwit View Park features a soccer field and basketball court, accessible play and picnic areas, parking, community gardens, a fenced off-leash dog area, and foot and bike paths with expansive views – including a majestic vista of Luuwit (the Cowlitz name for the iconic Mt. St. Helens).
“Recommending an appropriate name was difficult, but ultimately we enjoyed a rewarding outcome,” says Nina Palacios, a member of the Luuwit View naming committee. “I’m excited about the new park, one we’ve been eagerly anticipating for so long. I volunteer at the adjacent Shaver School, and the kids there are bursting with anticipation for their new park! I very much appreciate being a part of the naming process.”

Park history
Portland Parks & Recreation originally acquired the Beech property for the purpose of building a park in 1984 and then purchased additional property in 1999. The property was a 15.7 acre undeveloped site surrounded by a working farm, single family residences, and Shaver Elementary School in the Argay neighborhood, next door to the Parkrose neighborhood.
The master planning process in 2008 outlined some important features, including a community garden, soccer field, high intensity sports area, fenced off-leash dog area, grassy open space, children’s play area, water play area, and picnic areas. The master plan for this park was adopted by City Council in March 2009. Final design for the park started in 2015 with construction taking place from Summer 2016-Fall 2017, with a community opening celebration in October 2017.
Luuwit View Park offers expansive views, including a majestic vista of Luuwit, the Native (upper Cowlitz) name for Mt. St. Helens. The park’s name helps to honor the Indigenous people who have lived on the land since time immemorial and serves to recognize the overall history of the area.

PP&R does not publish itemized repair costs, so this ledger shows needs without dollar figures.
