Friends of Wilshire Park (FoWP) was formed in 2018 by neighbors in Northeast Portland and evolved to become a standing committee of the Beaumont-Wilshire Neighborhood Association (BWNA). Our mission is to work with Portland Parks and Recreation, local neighborhood associations, and our neighbors to improve and enhance Wilshire Park and to act as a forum for park issues.
The committee has successfully raised money to create the NatureScape, improve the children’s play area and bring a water fountain to the dog park. The committee has also worked with Portland Parks and Recreation to replace the old drinking fountain with a more accessible fountain and to replace the chin up bars.
