Located in the heart of downtown, Darcelle XV Plaza (formerly O’Bryant Square) honors the city’s most iconic drag queen who championed inclusivity and self-expression before her death in March 2023. The Darcelle XV Plaza space is expected to be ready for an interim design with programming and activation by Summer/Fall 2024 following the completion of the parking garage demolition in early 2024.
Portland Parks & Recreation has contracted NNA Landscape Architecture to design the interim Darcelle XV Plaza space. The design includes: dramatic gateway access points at the corners, cast Iron façade, overhead string lighting, shade structures, a 6’ high security fence with maximum visibility, and an off-leash dog area. PP&R will use the interim space to provide much needed activation to the Downtown Portland core.
