⚠️🚷 Duckworth Dock / Lloyd Live at the Dock Update ⚠️🚷

We’re sad to share that there have been potentially harmful algae bloom sightings near Duckworth Dock today. While we wait for official confirmation from the Oregon Health Authority, out of an abundance of caution for both people and pets, we are canceling our this Wednesday's Lloyd Live at the Dock event at Duckworth Dock.

Harmful algae can make people sick and is especially dangerous for dogs. Please avoid contact with affected areas until conditions improve.

If you want to learn more about the issue and how it impacts the Willamette River, we encourage you to follow Human Access Project, who are leading the fight to solve this recurring problem. Give them a follow at Human Access Project.

Stay safe out there, and we’ll see you back at Duckworth when it’s safe to swim again. 💙

Help us care for our community this summer. Join Lloyd EcoDistrict and SOLVE for a series of neighborhood cleanups.

Whether you live nearby, work in the area, or simply appreciate our city, your time makes a tangible difference. We will be picking up trash, sprucing up the landscaping, and removing graffiti around Peace Memorial Park, the Eastbank Esplanade, and the Moda Center.

Why it matters: Peace Memorial Park is a vital connection between the Lloyd neighborhood and the Willamette River, serving thousands of cyclists and pedestrians daily. It's the third most biked spot in the city! Beyond its everyday utility, the park was established as a public space to honor victims of war. Volunteering here helps preserve a place of reflection and ensures this tribute to peace remains welcoming and respected for everyone who passes through.

📍 Where: Peace Memorial Park (7 NE Oregon St, Portland)
🗓️ When:
1)Thursday, June 25, 2026 from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM
