Portland City Council is holding a work session on Tuesday 11/26 from 9:30 – 11:30 am on a sustainable future for Portland Parks & Recreation. Over the last several months, the city has been exploring future service levels and potential new funding models. The purpose of the work session is to brief City Council on Portland Parks & Recreation’s work and to get Council’s preliminary feedback about potential next steps.

This work session is the first opportunity for the public to demonstrate their interest by showing up. Years of budget cuts and aging infrastructure have led a group of concerned residents to ask City Council to consider forming an independent parks district.
