Darcelle XV Plaza, Urban park in downtown Portland, United States.

Darcelle XV Plaza occupies 0.46 acres at the intersection of Southwest Park Avenue and Southwest Harvey Milk Street in downtown Portland.

The space originated in 1973 as O'Bryant Square, named after Portland's first mayor, and received its current name through a unanimous City Council vote in 2023.

The plaza honors Walter Cole, who performed as Darcelle XV at the longest-running drag cabaret on the West Coast in Portland.

The Center for Public Interest Design and NNA Landscape Architecture developed plans for gateway access points, an off-leash dog area, and overhead lighting features.

The redevelopment project introduces the first fenced city park in Portland, featuring a stage and shade sail scheduled to open between 2024 and 2025.
