Save Columbia Pool |

The City of Portland passed the 2019-2020 budget which includes drastic cuts to the Parks and Recreation Budget. These budget cuts will lead to the closure of Columbia Pool in July of 2020 unless citizen action and partnership with the City or Portland can change the course. FOCP is part of an emerging coalition of concerned neighbors and groups working to assure uninterrupted aquatics access for the community and maintain Columbia Park as the “Jewel of the North.”
