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.
