Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) believes recreation is for everyone. We know that the price of programs and activities prevents some community members from being able to participate.

Within the American with Disability Act (ADA), a person with a disability or special need who desires assistance with registration and/or participation in general PP&R programs can contact Inclusion Services at 503-823-4333 or 711 (TRS).

Summer Free For All Cultural Events seeks local artists and performers from the Portland metropolitan area and SW Washington for paid performances. We are committed to providing Portlanders with access to arts and culture, building community, activating public spaces, and celebrating Portland.
