Come on a Bike Summer ride with Lloyd EcoDistrict and Go Lloyd to discover the hidden gems of the Lloyd EcoDistrict on a tour that reveals why there’s more to Lloyd than meets the eye! We’ll meet at 5:30 PM in the middle of Holladay Park, and begin our ride at 5:40. We’ll end the ride around 6:45 PM at Duckworth Dock for Duckworth Summer Wednesdays.
But what exactly is an EcoDistrict? Hop on your bike and join us for an engaging ride through Lloyd, where we’ll explore how we’re turning EcoDistrict concepts into real-world innovations. Along the way, you’ll see the nation’s first pollinator bike corridor, cutting-edge water treatment systems, sustainable buildings, resilience infrastructure, vibrant murals, important memorials, redesigned parks, community gardening projects, and more.
As Oregon’s first and only certified EcoDistrict / Just Growth community, Lloyd is setting the standard for collaborative, holistic development. We’re on a mission to transform Lloyd into one of the most sustainable neighborhoods in North America, championing equity, resilience, and climate protection. We’ve got lots more work to do, but we’re excited to share updates and progress!
Lloyd EcoDistrict will be joined by our partner at Go Lloyd, who is developing programs that encourage commuters and residents to engage in travel options outside of single-occupancy vehicles.
Come see for yourself how Lloyd is leading the way in creating a sustainable, resilient urban community. Get ready for a tour filled with inspiration, education, and a glimpse into the future Lloyd!
A couple of lucky riders will also earn themselves some fun prizes!
The tour will end at Duckworth Summer Wednesdays – where you can dive into the best swimming hole in Portland’s central city, right on the Eastbank Esplanade, with live tunes provided by Bike DJ PopCartPDX. This car-free oasis is only accessible by foot or wheels with many bike racks available right on the dock. Lifeguards on duty and swim ladders along the dock make it safe and easy for everyone to join in the fun.
