Imagine a 10-mile trail …
from the east end of the Steel Bridge to the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia Rivers. The npGREENWAY is a growing trail system linking North Portland neighborhoods with the Willamette River for recreation and access to jobs.
This is a long-term project with many components supported by volunteers, sponsors, neighborhood organizations, local government and private business.
The entire North Portland Greenway trail is divided into 5 segments, each with it’s own challenges. Here is a table of the segments: npGreenwayTrailSegments
Your donations will help npGreenway volunteers advocate for the completion of the North Portland Greenway Trail.

npGreenway Awarded NPS Grant
On June 1, 2021, the National Park Service (NPS), Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance (RTCA) Program notified the npGreenway Board that npGreenway has received a National Parks Service Grant. The grant will provide the organization with technical assistance from the National Park Service to strengthen our organization’s advocacy impact with Public Agencies to be more successful in furthering the construction of the North Portland Greenway Trail. In addition, the NFS grant will provide expertise in strategic planning, approaches for improving collaboration, increasing community involvement, identifying additional funding sources, and improved organizational structure to drive the successful completion of the trail.
The grant is effective immediately and we expect to begin work with the selected NPS team during the 2021 summer.
UPDATE: Due to COVID issues, the grant implementation was delayed until Fall 2022.

Willamette Cove is worth a full cleanup (Portland Tribune opinion 6/1/2022)
The Willamette Cove property has been owned and managed by Metro since 1996, when Metro
purchased it using funds from the 1995 Metro Open Spaces Bond Measure 26-26.
Metro has the money to clean up this great urban greenway, but does it have the will to do so?
