Portland Parks & Recreation - Lands Stewardship Natural Areas

MISSION
The mission of Portland Parks & Recreation is to help Portlanders play - providing the safe places, facilities, and programs which promote physical, mental, and social activity. We get people, especially kids, outside, active, and connected to the community. As we do this, there will be an increase in the wellness of our residents and the livability of our city. We accomplish this through:

• Establishing, safeguarding and restoring the parks, natural areas, public places, and urban forest of the city, ensuring that these are accessible to all;
• Developing and maintaining excellent facilities and places for public recreation and community building;
• Providing dynamic recreation programs and services that promote health and well-being for all;
• Partnering with the community we serve.
