Welcome!
We are a grassroots, volunteer-based group building a stronger community around Columbia Park in North Portland. We maintain and operate the Columbia Cottage, a unique gathering place located in the heart of this beautiful park. Since it was built in 1940, the cottage has served as a field house, dance hall, community policing headquarters and National Guard command center.
Now, we open the doors to the community for social events, interest groups and special occasions such as weddings, reunions and birthdays, workshops and classes, group retreats and more. In our effort to build community, we invite you to join the next meeting or event, to get to know your neighbors and to become a friend of Columbia Park.
We have no membership dues; however, donations are always appreciated. These donations, combined with rental fees, volunteer efforts and support from the City of Portland enable us to pursue our goals.
