Today's adventure takes us out to Troutdale's Glenn Otto Park, on the Sandy River. The park is mostly famous for the sort of safety issues that result when you combine warm weather, cheap beer, testosterone, and a very cold, fast river. Which is something that's come up in a few earlier posts (the High Rocks one for example), and I'm not really interested in revisiting the topic. The problem is that I'm not sure what else there is to say about the place. I stopped by just to take photos of the bridge next door, and I ended up with some photos that weren't of the bridge, and here they are.
I did manage to find a few non-picnic, non-drowning-related items to pass along, so here they are as well:
- The city's 2002 Master Plan for the park.
- 1995 memorial resolution by the state legislature honoring Mr. Otto.
- A 2009 Portland Tribune profile of Helen Otto (Glenn Otto's wife), on her 90th birthday.
