The members are representatives of the Community (10), the Region at-large (10) and Downtown Businesses (10). The City Commissioner in charge of Portland Parks & Recreation automatically serves on the Board. Additionally, the President may appoint non-voting Honorary Trustees and Ex-Officio Trustees with the support of the majority of the Board.

These multi-year goals identify the need for an increase in quality programming, facility replacement needs, and essential on-going maintenance.
VISION GOALS

Goal 2: To develop signature event programming that creates a broad community experience uniting the diverse population groupings that share our region. Goal 3: Enrich the public-private partnership with the City of Portland to: Increase the ability to raise funds to support the Park and its operation Clarify and seek agreement on Park maintenance roles and responsibilities Achieve stable operational funding Goal 4: To pursue new program, maintenance and capital replacement revenue opportunities. Goal 5: Establish an effective level of administrative resources for delivery of operating goals, capital improvements and long term maintenance initiatives.

The Park resides at the center of the regional transit system anchoring the central business district with its shopping, office and service sectors which act as attractors for the entire City, State and region.
