Ladybug Nature Walks take place in Portland's parks and natural areas. They are perfect for toddlers and preschoolers who want to explore nature with a trained educator. Children attend with an adult who assists in guiding them as they explore.
Environmental Education offers outdoor programs that focus on stewardship and nature connection. All programs meet in PP&R parks and natural areas. For children and families, Environmental Education offers field trips, summer camps, and guided walks. For teens and young adults, Environmental Education offers stewardship, nature education, and jobs in natural areas.
Ladybug Nature Walks—Mondays and Thursdays
with a lid • Metal spoon • Laminated color wheel for matching Mondays and Thursdays • 10:00–11:00am •
Children learn through questions, observation, and play. Groups move slowly through the park, stopping often. In this way, children have time to notice the plants and animals around them. If we have extra time we might also read a story, sing a song, or use puppets for imaginative play.
Please give us their names and ages when prompted during registration.)
Children ages 15–24 months need to register but attend for free.
While exploring with a nature educator, children borrow a small ladybug backpack containing a few tools that are easy to clean: lens plastic tub $5 per child
Walks last one hour. Content is geared for children ages 15 months–6 years. (Younger siblings under 15 months are welcome.

Family arts classes are designed for parents, guardians, and children to interact and participate together. Our philosophy is to honor the child’s creative impulses— focusing on process, rather than product. Performing Arts classes offer opportunities for children and their adults to participate together in an exploration of movement, song, and creative drama in a safe, joyful, and welcoming environment. Visual Arts classes provide instruction in the use of art materials and techniques and encourage each child’s individual style of visual expression. We recommend both adult and child wear grubbies as these classes can be messy. All materials are included. Clean-up is part of all MAC Youth visual art classes.

Aquatics Program Supervisor
LAP SWIM
PP&R must prioritize public safety while determining the next steps for Columbia Pool. Since 2008, PP&R has worked with independent professional roofing contractors to inspect the building’s roof while also performing internal quarterly reviews. The inspections indicated, among other things, deterioration of sections of the roof, visible damage to the roof’s supporting wood structure, and life-safety hazards present in the domed roof structure over the pool. Therefore, the independent structural engineer recommends that Columbia Pool not be re-opened to the public in its current condition.
All patrons are requested to use the locker room for the gender with which they identify.
