Review:
Needing a greenway to preserve the riverbank, construction for the Riverfront Park started in 1974 and its completion in 1978. It instantly grew in favor amongst locals for its beautiful waterfront views, meaningful landmarks, and recreational facilities. One of the park’s popular features includes the Battleship Oregon Memorial, which commemorates the 1893 warship nicknamed “The Bulldog of the United States Army.” Also home to the park is the Founders Stone—a tribute to Portland’s founding fathers Williama Pettygrove and Asa Lovejoy—as well as the 185-jet Salmon Street Springs and local police memorial. Active parkgoers will also enjoy several paved paths and biking trails that trace around the park.
