FAMILY CLASSES

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.

COLUMBIA POOL CLOSURE

Columbia Indoor Pool is closed until further notice due to safety hazards for building occupants. Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) understands this is disappointing news for the North Portland community.

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.

PP&R will share more information with the public once the next steps for Columbia Pool are determined.

If you have questions, please email: pkrsst@portlandoregon.gov

Check your local pool schedule for program availability and times.

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

Your satisfaction is our goal! Portland Parks & Recreation strives for 100% customer satisfaction. If you are not satisfied with a recreation program or service, please let us know.

INCLEMENT WEATHER

If the City of Portland public school districts (Portland Public, Parkrose, David Douglas, Reynolds, and Centennial) are closed because of weather conditions, PP&R classes and youth basketball in those school districts may be canceled. We recommend that you check in with your community centers for the latest information about individual registered programs and activities. Some recreation programs may run as conditions and instructor availability allow. Decisions to operate on a specific site basis are made when it is determined that all programs may operate safely. Call the specific PP&R facility for information and opening/closing times.
