Woodlawn Community Garden – In June 2008, in collaboration with the Portland Trail Blazers and Fred Meyer, the Woodlawn Children’s Garden Program was launched. An industrious group of volunteers from Fred Meyer and the Blazers worked with neighborhood children to clean up the garden area, completing several weeks of work in a matter of hours. A ceremonial planting of vegetables by mascots Blaze the Trail Cat and Fred Bear commemorated the new partnership.

History of Woodlawn Neighborhood

The Woodlawn neighborhood, one of the oldest in Portland, was first settled in the 1860s as a farming village. In the 1880s, the rail line running from Portland to Vancouver added a station in Woodlawn (at Durham and Dekum Avenues) and the area began to develop. The railroad line was so important to the neighborhood that the streets were laid out relative to the tracks. The tracks curved, which is why the neighborhood’s streets don’t run north to south.   

Commercial and residential development took off and by World War II, the neighborhood consisted of midsized middle-class homes. When Vanport flooded in 1948, many ship workers settled in Woodlawn as they sought new homes. The neighborhood fell into hard times in the 1970s but began to see the benefits of the revitalization that swept the east side in the early 2000s. Today, Woodlawn is a neighborhood that values the past while embracing the future, and where all families and individuals are welcomed.
