Charles Jordan Birthday Tribute
Portland Parks & Recreation throws a community
birthday party on Saturday, Aug. 31 for Charles Jor-
dan to honor and recognize the late African American
community leader for his lifelong passions of helping
children, families and the environment, while bring-
ing people together as a city and community.
The celebration will take at the Charles Jordan
Community Center, 9009 N. Foss Ave., from noon
to 3 p.m. Jordan, the first black community member
elected to the Portland City Council and a former
parks commissioner, died in 2014.
“My father’s passing left our family and our en-
tire city with a tremendous void,” said Dion Jordan,
Charles’ son, who will serve as the event emcee.
All ages are welcome for an afternoon of free ac-
tivities - fitness, games, plantings, arts and crafts, a
building tour, health and wellness checks, music,
birthday cake and refreshments, and partner activities,
information and resources.
A community celebration on Saturday
will honor the late Charles Jordan, one of
Portland’s most influential leaders.
