Powell Park

Powell Hollow Nature Patch

This small natural garden space was created in 2023 in partnership with Portland's Bureau of Environmental Services. It features three separate beds of differing native plant pallets and a central gathering area. The garden repurposed an underutilized area of turf to add a unique horticultural experience to the park between the playground, open lawn, and sports fields.
