Walking Event: NW - Downtown

Revised in 2010. Downtown is rated 1+, all on pavement, suitable for strollers but difficult for wheelchairs. Walk goes through the Pearl District (with many shops, restaurants, and new living spaces) to the downtown area. Walk by major department stores and Pioneer Courthouse Square – a large open area nicknamed “Portland’s living room.” Near the Burnside Bridge is our famous Saturday Market with artists and craftspeople selling their own creations Saturdays and Sundays from March to December. Walk 1+K on Tom McCall Waterfront Park paved path next to the Willamette River. This is the area of many festivals, including our annual Rose Festival in June. Visit the world's smallest park.
