Across Portland
Partnership AtlasPark partnerships across the city, by area. Use this view to see where support is already visible, where stewardship is layered, and where future partnership may help.
Districts use official Council boundaries (September 12, 2026 snapshot). Properties crossing boundaries count once, in the district with the greatest land overlap. “Unknown” retains properties with no positive-area boundary intersection. District totals describe recorded relationships, not a measure of equity or a complete count of active agreements.

These case studies show public benefit, contribution type, and where partnership activity is connected to specific places.
A community nonprofit helps keep neighborhood programming and facility use alive where the City does not directly operate the same level of service.
The Council materials identify a reactivation example. A useful evaluation separates committed improvements, completed work, ongoing operations and delivered public access.
Community partners can help preserve access, programming, and neighborhood connection in areas where PP&R does not have a full direct-service footprint.
District groupings use official boundaries and each park's greatest overlapping land area. Figures are count-based (parks, partners, links); citywide partner dollars are not allocated to a district unless a partnership is tied to a specific district, park, or facility.
