Terwilliger Boulevard Parkway
(from Sixth Avenue and Sheridan to Slavin Road)
About
This boulevard is named for James Terwilliger, one of downtown's first inhabitants. He acquired this land through a series of trades and it eventually became the first tract of the parkway. The 2.5-mile stretch of Terwilliger Boulevard offers some of the best views in Portland. A woody forest provides an excellent frame for Mount Hood looming in the distance. One of four parkways proposed in 1903, Terwilliger is the only boulevard that has been completed.
