Tom McCall Waterfront Park, Urban park in downtown Portland, United States.
This 36-acre park stretches along the Willamette River, featuring walking paths, fountains, and green spaces between Naito Parkway and the waterfront.
The park opened in 1978 after the removal of Harbor Drive freeway, transforming an industrial area into a public recreational space following Governor Tom McCall's initiative.
The Japanese American Historical Plaza contains 100 cherry trees and stone monuments that tell the story of Japanese Americans in the Pacific Northwest.
Visitors can access the park daily for activities such as jogging, cycling, or relaxing, with peak hours occurring during lunch time from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
The Salmon Street Springs fountain displays water patterns through 185 jets controlled by a computer system that creates different configurations throughout the day.
