Creative Dining Opportunity
The Oregon Zoo’s Asian elephant Samudra plays with a creative new feeder made from a donated fire
hose and mounted high upon a large wooden pole. Stuffed full of bamboo, a favorite snack, the feeder
is designed to encourage natural foraging behaviors, getting elephants reach up with their trunks and
develop the muscles in the top of their head, which are critical to their overall health, zoo officials said.

The free Explore Washington Park shuttle provides transportation to iconic Washington Park with
stops to the Oregon Zoo, Hoyt Arboretum, the International Rose Test Garden and Portland Japanese
Garden.
Washington Park Shuttle Returns
Spring is upon us and there is no better place to
enjoy the outdoors than the iconic Washington Park.
This year guests will experience several new visi-
tor enhancements and the return of the free Explore
Washington Park shuttle.
The shuttle loops throughout the 410-acre park,
linking the Washington Park TriMet MAX station to
the rest of the park, including the Hoyt Arboretum
Visitor Center, International Rose Test Garden and
Portland Japanese Garden.
The shuttle, which is paid for from parking meter
revenue, runs every 15 minutes on weekends from
April through October from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.;
and runs daily beginning in May through September
from 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Guests who take TriMet’s MAX Blue or Red
lines to the park will enjoy significant upgrades to
the Washington Park MAX Station. This includes
new wayfinding, lighting and 200-foot long murals
across from the platforms.
“The Washington Park free shuttle makes visit-
ing the Japanese Garden and the rest of Washing-
ton Park so easy,” says Portland Japanese Garden’s
Deputy Director Cynthia Haruyama. “We encour-
age everyone to stay serene: let someone else do the
driving and not worry about parking!”
