About Peace Memorial Park: Connected to the Eastbank Esplanade, intersected by one of Portland’s busiest bikeways, and graced with expansive views of the Willamette River and the downtown skyline, Peace Memorial Park was established as a public place to honor victims of war, both military and civilian. Since Lloyd EcoDistrict joined in partnership with Veterans for Peace, the vision of the space has expanded to honor the intersection of conflict, climate and social justice.

Pollinator Artwork: Our team had the pleasure of partnering up with the Portland Bureau of Environmental Services to spend time with three third-grade classes at Sabin Elementary Schools early this month. Together with these young scientists, we learned about pollinators and the students created pollinator and peace-themed artwork that we are hoping to install during the event. The artwork will serve to brighten up the park and educate the public.  Until the event - you can swing by the office on the third floor of the Lloyd Center to check out some of their amazing artwork.
