STEWARDS OF THE FOUNTAIN DISTRICT

The building of Lovejoy Fountain, Pettygrove Park, Keller Fountain, and the Source Fountain— collectively known as the Portland Open Space Sequence - profoundly shaped the Portland that emerged from the 1960s. Lawrence Halprin and Associates fused public space, fountains, and sculpture into a new kind of inviting, interactive urban space that made the Portland downtown a place to enjoy and have fun. Halprin Landscape Conservancy was formed to advance the original vision and revitalize these beloved and internationally recognized parks. Today, our leadership is fostering a bright future for the emerging Fountain District—a dynamic, walkable, mixed-use neighborhood for work, live and play.
