Get ready to walk, bike, roll and celebrate healthy, active living on the open streets of Southwest Portland as Portland Sunday Parkways, Presented by Kaiser Permanente, kicks off the first of four events from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, May 18.
Join us for our 18th year as founding and presenting sponsor of the city’s biggest family street party, where we encourage neighbors to come out and celebrate good fun and good health. This beloved free community event promises a day of fun-filled activities for all ages along two scenic routes through Southwest Portland: a 2-mile bike, walk or run route and a 3.6-mile walking route connecting Gabriel Park, Spring Garden Park, and Multnomah Village.
“As a health care organization, we know there is a strong link between physical activity and health and mental wellness,” said Wendy Watson, president of Kaiser Permanente Northwest. “Our sponsorship represents our commitment to promote civic pride, support local businesses, and encourage people-powered modes of transportation. Encouraging people to walk, ride and bike Sunday Parkways with friends and family is a great way for everyone to get out, get active and get to know their neighbors, while also allowing us to improve community health."
