TOM MCCALL WATERFRONT PARK
Go there and contact
This park stretches on the banks of the river Willamette River over nearly 3 km. Festivals and concerts are held there during the summer while the children play around Salmon Street Springs Fountain and the runners continue their journey. This project was realized thanks to Tom McCall, Governor of Oregon from 1966 to 1974. Recognized for his many actions in favour of the environment, he worked for the preservation of the banks of Willamette River in Portland. In 1970, it transformed the highway into a green drive for urban dwellers. At the time, his project is greeted by shouting at national level - we want to finance new highways, but certainly not remove them! Yet today what's become the Tom McCall Waterfront Park is One of the city's pride. McCall will be shown in other projects, such as the Oregon bottle bill, a law that invites to recycle bottles and other cans in exchange for a few dollars.
