The City of Portland’s Office of Healthy Working Rivers and Portland Parks & Recreation are partnering on a new Willamette River Recreation Strategy which will establish a vision for river use for leisure activities, offer recreation policy guidance, and recommend specific actions to take over the next 15 years to meet growing on-river recreation demands in a manner that provides safe enjoyment of the waterway, protects fish and wildlife habitat, and respects the Willamette's use as a commercial and industrial deep water river port.

You are invited and encouraged to review and comment on the draft Strategy through Friday, December 9^th. To view or download the document, click here. Comments are welcomed by email or regular mail, or by taking a quick on-line survey (click here).

Please direct  questions to Rick Bastasch, Office of Healthy Working Rivers, 503.823.0275.
