Design Awards

In 2009 the IMCL Urban Plazas Design Award was presented to Portland Parks & Recreation and Peter Walker Partners for the development of Jamison Square, Portland in recognition of the sophisticated integration of flexible spaces for civic activities, gathering and socializing, with imaginative water and park elements for play and recreation.

Jamison Square supports individual uses, meetings, social gatherings, entertainment and festivals (e.g. Bastille Day). The focal element is the Spring, a low waterfall that gushes out of the stone layers to create a shallow tidal pool. In the summer, the pool attracts hundreds of children, while families relax on the lawn. During the year, the café and restaurant terraces on the north side support community life. An ice cream parlor, toy store, and other shops, services and restaurants nearby generate activity on the street, and the streetcar on either side enhances accessibility.
