As a Portland Public Schools parent and PPS board member, I see every day how much kids need spaces to move, play and connect. Learning does not stop when the bell rings; we know our students do better when they have safe, welcoming places to go after school, on weekends and during school holidays. From free summer lunch to swimming lessons and afterschool programs, the 2025 Portland Parks Levy will fund opportunities for kids to be active, connected, and safe.
