Governor Announces Willamette Falls Riverwalk Design Team

Governor Kate Brown announced the selection of the Mayer/Reed, Snøhetta, DIALOG team for the design of the Willamette Falls Riverwalk at the former Blue Heron Paper Mill site in Oregon City.

As the prime consultant, Mayer/Reed will collaborate with our international design partners and work with numerous agencies, stakeholders and the public to create an experientially-rich Riverwalk that will enable connectivity and public access to this powerful site for the first time in over a century.

With the Willamette Falls Riverwalk as the first phase of the former mill site’s redevelopment, we are honored to accept this incredible opportunity to shape the future of the site. We are continually inspired by the layers of history and are energized by our team’s rapport and shared vision. We are prepared to reveal this remarkable scenic and cultural treasure that has been buried in plain sight for decades.

Landscape Architecture Magazine “Go Wild, Oregon Child”

“It’s no surprise that the nature based play movement, which in recent years has taken off across North America, has found fertile ground in Oregon.”

The March 2015 edition of Landscape Architecture Magazine features three Oregon nature-based play areas including Mayer/Reed’s Outdoor Adventure at the Portland Children’s Museum. Where some nature-based play areas redefine play equipment, author Katharine Logan says, “the Portland Children’s Museum challenges the need for playground equipment at all.”
