Make it a special day for the grandparents and elders who have had an impact in your life! It's bound to be joyful for all ages with music by the Hollywood Ukulele Group.
It's free for everyone. Bring a picnic or snack. Sweet treats and cold beverages will be available, and you will find plenty of benches with ample shade for relaxing. Enjoy activities for all ages!
The Portland Memory Garden at Ed Benedict Park provides a calm, nature focused experience for older adults, people with disabilities, and all park visitors.
