Plaza Map
This map features our public plazas around the city. Keep scrolling to find out more about each of our plazas and visit our landing page to learn more about everything plazas have to offer.
NEW: 2026 Pilot Plazas
Portland's newest Pilot Plazas were selected through PBOT's first-ever Open Call for Plaza Partners, which invited community groups across the city to propose locations and ideas for new public spaces. As Pilot Plazas they will each go through an evaluation period to determine their future status. During this time, Portlanders will be able to provide feedback through a public survey on each. We believe Public Street Plazas should be for the community, by the community. Surveys will go live near the end of summer. If you would like to provide feedback in the meantime, please contact us at portlandstreetplazas@portlandoregon.gov.
