About North Park Blocks
The North Park Blocks in Portland is a public urban park spanning 3.11 acres in the Pearl District, offering a versatile backdrop for events and community happenings rather than a single fixed venue. The park runs daily from 5:00am to 9:00pm and is home to cultural institutions like the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education and the Pacific Northwest College of Art (PNCA) campus. As you plan your visit, consider the surrounding amenities, transit options, and nearby lodging and dining to make the most of your day or night out.
Whether you’re catching a First Thursdays gallery event, exploring the PNCA Block, or enjoying a seasonal program, we’ve got you covered with practical details to help you secure your seats and your plans with ease.
Parking in the area is primarily metered street parking, with no on-site lot at the park itself. Look for nearby paid parking garages and kiosks along NW Park Avenue and the surrounding streets. For a smooth trip, consider taking the Portland Streetcar (A Loop and NS Line) or multiple bus routes to reach stops at NW 10th & Couch or NW 11th & Couch. If you’re staying nearby, the Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Portland Pearl District is a convenient option just steps from the action. The North Park Blocks will continue to evolve with the North Park Blocks Extension, adding the PNCA Block and shaping the area through Fall 2028. This page provides seating and event guidance for individual dates as they are announced, while you plan your visit around the vibrant arts scene and pedestrian-friendly Pearl District.
