Description
Jamison Square is located between NW Johnson and Kearney Street in Pearl District in Portland, Oregon.
From the beginning of the planning efforts for the Pearl District in the early 1990s, the creation of a network of open spaces was an important goal of both the neighborhood and the City. In June 1999, Peter Walker & Partners developed and refined plans for the parks with input from a Project Steering Committee and two public workshops. The park opened in June 2002.
