Sunday, June 25th - North Portland
Come out to celebrate Sunday Parkways 10th Anniversary! The North Portland Sunday Parkways will occur on June 25th. It opens from 11 am - 4 pm and provides 8 miles of free family friendly fun. We need you to make it a success!
City of Portland Sunday Parkways, presented by Kaiser Permanente, is a series of five community events that promote healthy living by opening the city's largest public space - its streets - for people to walk, bike, roll, and discover active transportation! Besides all the active outdoor fun, the events strive to foster civic pride, stimulate economic development, and represent the investments that communities, businesses and government bodies are making in Portland's vitality, livability, and diversity.
Last year over 100,000 people attended the events, with 250+ volunteers at each event making it all possible.
Here's how we need your help...
* Mobile Superheroes to ride the route on your bike, keeping a watchful eye on the neighborhood and backing up the Intersection Superheroes.
* Intersection Superheroes to command the barricades, making sure participants are safe from cars and neighbors are happy.
* We also need Mobile Mechanics, Mobile Medics and Event Photographers.
Each shift lasts no longer than 3.5 hours, but you may sign up for more than one! Sign up here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2017-sunday-parkways-north-portland-volunteer-june-25th-registration-34154770839
...and here's how we show our appreciation!
Every Sunday Parkways volunteer receives:
* a HEATHER PURPLE Sunday Parkways volunteer t-shirt
* refreshments before your shift
* support before, during and after the event
* a 2017 Sunday Parkways bandanna - volunteer for any three Sunday Parkways shifts across the season and it's yours!
