I can hardly contain my excitement! The first Sunday parkways of the season is coming to the Woodlawn neighborhood on Sunday, May 16 2010. I’ll post more as the details come in. Go to http://www.portlandsundayparkways.org/ and click on NE Sunday Parkways to see the route – it will connect Wilshire, Fernhill, Alberta, and Woodlawn Parks. Sunday Parkways needs a LOT of volunteers to pull off the fun, so sign up now! This will be a great opportunity for families and friends to get together for walking, biking and connecting!
