Portland Sunday Parkways features community-focused events that transform neighborhoods into vibrant car-free zones, promoting active lifestyles, community engagement, and sustainable transportation.
Portland Sunday Parkways Presented by Kaiser Permanente and run by the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT), is a longstanding series of events that promotes healthy active living by opening the city's largest public space - its streets - to walk, bike, roll, and discover active transportation.
BIKETOWN will have a presence at the first two events this year and will have bikes avialable to rent as well as an expanded service area and promotional offer to try BIKETOWN for the first time.
This season there will be three events. Neighborhoods and dates/times can be found below and we hope to see you there!
