Kʰunamokwst Park 

NE 52nd Avenue between Alberta & Wygant
Portland Parks Commissioner Amanda Fritz joined neighbors, partners, and special guests on August 7th to reveal the name of the first developed park in the Cully neighborhood. It will be called Kʰunamokwst Park (pronounced KAHN-ah-mockst - click to hear the full pronunciation). Kʰunamokwst is a Chinook wawa name meaning “together”. Kʰunamokwst will be the first PP&R park to enjoy a name indigenous to the land it sits on. Chinook wawa is the language commonly used by the original people of this area.
PP&R has begun construction on the 2.4 acre park, with completion expected in the spring of 2015. The new park will serve 1488 families who currently do not have access to a park or natural area (defined as a half-mile walk). More here.
