CONSTRUCTION & CLOSURES

 

Washington Park Reservoir Improvement Project

The Portland Water Bureau recently replaced reservoirs built in 1894 with a new 12.4-million-gallon, seismically reinforced underground reservoir. Soon, Washington Park will be home to not only a new reservoir, but also a cascading water feature, reflecting pool, and lowland wildlife habitat area. Crews will be filling the reflecting pool to test the two pumps of the decorative cascading water feature. If you stroll up Sacajawea or Sherwood Boulevard, you might see them at hard at work.

Here’s where you can read the full project overview and see detailed project construction updates.

SW Tichner Entry Closed

Entrance off SW Tichner Dr. / West Burnside is closed until further notice due to a landslide. Please use SW Kingston Drive or SW Vista Ave. to SW Park Place to access the Portland Japanese Garden and the International Rose Test Garden. Expect delays if traveling around the north end of Washington Park.

It is crucial for the public to avoid the area, which remains at risk of another landslide at any time. Do not go past any barricades.
