Fun Facts

Director Park is named in honor of the Director family, who were prominent Portland philanthropists and contributed significantly to the city's development.

The park's glass canopy, known as the 'Bosque,' provides shelter and is a striking architectural feature designed by ZGF Architects.

Throughout the year, Director Park serves as a venue for numerous cultural events, including art exhibits, live music, and community gatherings.

Director Park is part of the city's South Park Blocks, a series of green spaces that stretch through downtown Portland.

The park's design was inspired by European plazas, featuring open spaces, seating areas, and a fountain, encouraging social interaction and relaxation.

Opened in 2009, Director Park is one of the newer urban parks in Portland, designed to enhance the city's downtown area.
