About Us


We are a grassroots, all volunteer non-profit (501c3) building a stronger community around Columbia Park in North Portland. We work with the City of Portland and interested community members and businesses to maintain and improve Columbia Park and all of its amenities, including Columbia Cottage. Some of the projects and events we’ve led or been involved in since our inception in 1991 include:
  • Columbia Park Tree Inventory
  • Foot patrol in the park and neighborhood
  • Bicycle registration/safety classes
  • Take Pride in your Park day​
  • Bingo
  • Music in the park and Cottage​
​
Picture
In partnership with Portland Parks and Recreation, 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.

​The cottage is open and available for both public and private gatherings.
