A place for family and community.
The City of Portland, Portland Trails School Ground Greening Coalition, Nason’s Corner Neighborhood Association, and Breakwater have joined together to improve a neighborhood asset. This civic partnership was born of a common vision to provide opportunities for children in this urban neighborhood to play and learn in a natural setting, as well as to foster community development. You can create a lasting memory at Nason’s Corner Park and help us finish the playground by purchasing a commemorative brick to pave a pathway in the new playscape.
“If we want children to flourish, to become truly empowered, then let us allow them to love the earth before we ask them to save it.” -David Sobel, Beyond Ecophobia

As the future stewards of our environment,
today’s children need to learn to value and have a relationship with the natural world. Our kids
are growing up in a world dominated by technology. At home and in school, much of their time is
spent in sedentary, indoor activities. Urban parks providing green space are an important
resource for children growing up in the city. Children need to breath fresh air and exercise
their bodies and there is a growing body of research demonstrating significant cognitive,
emotional and physical benefits children gain from opportunities to be outdoors, connecting
with nature.
