Riot Ribs Served Free Food to Portlanders Until Police Locked Them Out | Eater Portland

"Standing in downtown Portland one night, I found a makeshift encampment of tents, drummers, and masked-and-helmeted young people gathered in Lownsdale Square where mutual-aid efforts like Riot Ribs cooked and distributed meals to protesters and houseless residents; the park has been the site of nightly protests against police brutality and white supremacy for more than a month, with late-night chaos—people washing their eyes with water or antacid solutions after tear gas exposure, chanting, and street medics in bike helmets and duct-tape crosses carrying the injured—while some long-term residents pick up litter and accept food, face wipes, and water from volunteers." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden

Cute little one block park with ample places to seat and a big Statue right in the middle of it. I believe it is closed from midnight to 5 am in the morning !!

Lownsdale Square Is a nice-looking little part. It's much prettier during the summer season. There's plenty of seating such as benches. There are lots of statues, there's a broken fountain, and there's also a Public restroom. A great place to walk your dog.

No rain today in downtown Portland! The park is starting to recover from the abuse that it took two years ago. You’ll ❤️ it.

I'm so glad the encampment is finally gone. I feel sad for homeless folks, but that was one of the worst spots someone could choose to camp, and they were piling up massive amounts of trash, which was a blight upon our beautiful city at one of the main entrances to the downtown area. Let's keep cleaning up Portland and see if we can get it back to being safe and lovely! Maybe the deer statue can even come back to the park soon!

I like to walk here from the office during lunch. There are many benches to choose from and even though it's usually busy (when the weather is nice) I have always found a bench seat. Midday, the majority of the other park visitors appear to be working individuals who are also taking breaks. There are many sidewalks here and it's nice to walk through.

Beautiful quiet park in Downtown Portland. Excellent landscaping. By far the hidden gem of this park is the public restrooms. They were actually amazing. Definitely worth taking your next potty break here.
