The plan will address key challenges and opportunities, including maintaining a healthy tree canopy, making the park more accessible for all users, retaining park character while enhancing connections, and providing space for community events. Portland Parks & Recreation began the South Parks Block planning process by convening a community advisory committee to guide the project and launching a community visioning process in Summer 2019 to inform the development of three draft design concepts. The draft concepts were shared with the community in Fall 2019. The feedback on the design concepts guided the development of a draft preferred design. The community engagement approach for this stage of the project was designed to: • Enlist community participation in the design review process with a special focus on PSU students, the Native American Community Advisory Council and Parks Accessibility Advisory Committee; • Explain how community feedback and ideas heard during the draft concept phase influenced the development of Draft Preferred Design; • Gather and understand community feedback on the Draft Preferred Design to develop a preferred park design; and, • Strengthen community relationships and build support for the South Park Blocks and PP&R.

  • South Park Blocks Letter
    July 6, 2021 Mayor Ted Wheeler City Commissioners Rubio, Mapps, Hardesty and Ryan Portland City Hall 1221 SW 4th Ave #110, Portland, Oregon 97204 Subject: Testimony on South Park Blocks Draft Master Plan Dear Mayor Wheeler and Commissioners, The Architectural Heritage Center of the Bosco-Milligan Foundation (AHC/BMF) is a Portland nonprofit organization committed to the preservation of our city’s history as reflected in its built environment, including historic cultural landscapes. The AHC/BMF would like to submit the following comments on the Draft South Park Blocks Master Plan (SPBMP), dated May 2021, prepared by Portland Parks & Recreation Bureau (PP&R). We support efforts to serve the larger community and improve the park’s resiliency to impacts of climate change and population growth. The South Park Blocks, dedicated in 1852 (before Statehood) as one of Portland’s earliest official greenspaces, has survived as one of the “gems of nature” in the heart of downtown. The South Park Blocks’ most iconic feature is its majestic American elms and other deciduous tree species including maples, oaks, sycamores, and lindens. It is the trees that define the essential character of the park: Like a rough-hewn colonnade, five rows of trees stretch the length of the twelve blocks, creating a high canopy that shelters the grass, walkways, and benches below. From the center, looking either to the north or the south between any two rows of trees, you have a vista down a long, green, arched tunnel narrowing into an indistinct vanishing point blocks away (South Park Blocks: Benefits of Trees brochure, prepared by PP&R, 2005).

As you know, in our advisory capacity the Portland Historic Landmarks Commission (PHLC) considered the nomination of the South Park Blocks National Register District at our regularly scheduled meeting on Monday February 8, 2021. The PHLC commends Story Swett, Brooke Best, Roberta Cation, Leslie Hutchison, and Fred Leeson for their volunteer efforts in preparing the nomination that was presented to the PHLC. Similarly, the PHLC deeply appreciates the testimony provided in writing and verbally at the meeting by individuals, communities, and organizations who have deep connections to the South Park Blocks and the land on which they are located. Such a public place deserves serious consideration of issues raised from all sides. Most (though not all) of the testimony supported the ultimate listing of the South Park Blocks on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The PHLC concurs with this majority opinion and hopes that substantive revisions to the nomination will ultimately result in National Park Service designation. The issues raised are timely, resonant, and important. With every understanding of what a nomination document is (and what it is not) we currently recommend against nominating the South Park Blocks to the National Register until such time that substantive revisions to the nomination can be made and subsequently reconsidered by the PHLC.
