Join your friends, neighbors, Portland Parks’ staff, and Friends of Terwilliger for a day of restoration in Historic Terwilliger Parkway. Then you can brag to all your friends and team mates like the volunteers pictured here from Portland Running Company’s Race Team. GO TEAM!
Many thanks to Doug Weir, former president of Friends of Terwilliger, for these beautiful photos of the magic from Terwilliger Parkway views.
It’s been an exciting and productive year, 2025, and we couldn’t have done it without all of you!
If you haven’t walked up to Eagle Point in awhile, or if you don’t know where it is…....
Have we got something to show you.
Next time you’re traveling in Terwilliger Parkway, and especially if you’re having thoughtful moments in the Walpole Garden, please give a shout out to our board member Bob Bonner. He’s an inspiration to all of us! Here’s his nomination for PGE Parks Champion.
The Walpole Garden, a collaboration with our partners at Portland Parks and Recreation, is named after the noted American botanical illustrator Frederick Andrews Walpole who built a house at Eagle Point (300 ft to the north of the garden) in 1895. We are gradually planting many of the native plants he illustrated for the US Botanical Garden before his untimely death of typhoid in 1905.
Friends of Terwilliger received several calls/emails last month from concerned users of the Parkway regarding the many trees cut down uphill towards the OHSU campus.
