Culturally diverse music, movies and recreation programs ill the calendar once again this summer as Portland Parks and Recreation kicks off
its ‘Summer Free For All,’ a series of free events for the public sponsored by Comcast and other donors.
Movies, Concerts and More
A summer free for all at Portland Parks
A broad portfolio of culturally di-
verse music, movies and recreation
programs will once again grace
Portland’s parks this summer.
This year’s “Summer Free for
All” by Portland Parks and Recre-
ation and sponsored by Comcast
includes 55 concerts in the park,
41 movies in the park, 27 sum-
mer playgrounds and lunch sites,
20 mobile playgrounds sites, free
swim lessons at all city indoor and
outdoor pools, and the Washington
Park’s Summer Festival. In addi-
tion, a children’s concert series at
Unthank Park is new this year.
“Our mission is for healthy parks
and healthy Portland,” says Portland
Parks and Recreation Director Mike
Abbate. “And the Summer Free For
All is a wonderful way that many
people irst engage with Portland
Parks and Recreation programs.
Companies like Comcast help make
these connections possible, leading
to a lifetime of healthier, happier
people of all ages.”
The summer playgrounds and
lunch program comes with sports,
games, crafts and family activities,
including a mobile rock climbing
wall.
