Re-imagine our public spaces! In 2020, Porter Park will anchor a mile of city streets that are open for people to walk, bike and play. You’ll find giant games, foursquare in the street, bicycle-powered rides, fitness classes, skateboarding, local food and drink, street installations, dance, music and more. Porter Park is bordered by Garfield Avenue to the north and the 17th street cul-de-sac to the south.
