“a park and a neighborhood in the North section of Portland, Oregon on the east shore of the Willamette River.”
"Portland's Cathedral Park is most famous for the cathedral arch-like legs of the St. Johns Bridge, which runs through it, but the park's history predates the bridge. It was one of the 14 spots where Lewis and Clark landed and camped out in the Portland-Vancouver area. The bridge was built in the 1930's, and remains the stone steel suspension bridge in Portland. Before the neighborhood of St. Johns was incorporated in the 1970s, people we campaigning for a park to clean up the lackluster area under the bridge. By 1980, the funding was in place and the park was built. Cathedral Park was named after a picture of the bridge's legs appeared on the front page of the newspaper... the resemblance to a grand, outdoor cathedral is undeniable. Winding pathways, lush greenery, river views, and pavilions make this a peaceful place to retreat from the bustle of the city!" -Roadtrippers
