Willamette Park

This summer we’re co-creating a new center for civic leadership in Portland. It's a civic space that brings together people with different perspectives and experience to build trust, set our sights on our common destiny, and work together to get things done. Over the next few months, North Star will be coordinating members of this group to host meetings and work groups — as well as less formal gatherings and social time. Big thanks to member Mercy M’Fon for getting us outside! About this event:This private event is reserved for members of the Center for Civic Leadership. Join us for a refreshing paddle on the beautiful Willamette River! Whether you're a seasoned kayaker or a first-time paddler, this is a perfect opportunity to enjoy the scenic views, connect with nature, and have a great time with fellow enthusiasts. We'll provide all the necessary equipment and guidance to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Don’t miss out on this chance to explore the serene waterways of the Willamette River—mark your calendars and paddle with us! Participants will have the option of paddling in a kayak or stand up paddle board. Please arrive at 5:45PM so we may be on the water by 6:00PM. We will meet at Willamette Park just south of the boat ramps on the little beach. Activity/Experience Level: Beginner. This paddle takes place on the Willamette River launching from SW Portland. This portion of the river is very wide and slow moving and there are minimal natural hazards in the water that would directly affect us. This section of the river experiences high boat traffic in the summer months.Meeting Location: Participants will meet instructors at the X on the graphic above, a small bank located south of the boat launch area. Please allocate extra time to find parking within the park grounds. Avoid parking in trailer parking areas, as vehicles may be ticketed and towed. Please remember to pay for parking at pay stations. Look for signs and kiosks for guidance.Gear: Please pack attire for paddling in clothing and shoes you don't mind getting wet. Wild Diversity will provide all paddling gear.Learn more about Wild Diversity Adventures on our <a href="https://wilddiversity.com/what-to-expect" title="https://wilddiversity.com/what-to-expect" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">What to Expect Page</a>.
