Portland es el escenario de esta ronda, donde el mapa sigue la ciudad real y la bola rueda por sus calles. Los hoyos están construidos a partir de atracciones reales, comenzando con el pequeño Mill Ends Park. Una ronda completa de 18 hoyos cubre 8.1 millas de pavimento, lo que proporciona un largo paseo por el centro de la ciudad. Skip conoce estas aceras y la mejor manera de desviar un tiro de una fachada de ladrillo, ya que ha pasado mucho tiempo observando el tráfico desde las cunetas.
You might miss Mill Ends Park if you aren't looking for it, as it is a small circle only 2 ft across. Established in 1948, this pocket park is the smallest urban park in the United States. It consists of one tree and has a total area of 452 sq in. For a long time, it was known globally for its size; the Guinness Book of Records recognized it as the smallest park in the world in 1971. It held that specific distinction until February 2025. I've seen some small crumbs on the sidewalk larger than this plot of land.
Let me show you the Liberty Bell, a sculpture that refers to one of two replicas of the original bell in Philadelphia. This site has a heavy history; the first replica was purchased in 1962 and installed in the City Hall rotunda in 1964. However, that first bell was destroyed in a bomb blast on November 21, 1970. The second replica was dedicated on November 6, 1975. Today, the Oregon Department of Veterans' Affairs lists the bell as a state veterans memorial. I've noticed it's a spot where people tend to pause and reflect.
Founded in 1892, the Portland Art Museum is an art museum and nonprofit organization. The site has grown to 240,000 square feet, with more than 112,000 square feet dedicated to gallery space. Pietro Belluschi is an architect of the museum. It is a popular spot for the public, seeing 445,000 annual visitors. You can find over 42,000 works of art in the permanent collection. I've seen plenty of folks wander in here to get out of the rain, and it is a great place to spend a few hours wandering the halls.
Look at the heavy masonry and rounded arches of the Romanesque Revival architecture. This is Portland Center Stage at The Armory, a building designed by architects William Frederick McCaw and Richard H. Martin Jr. Built in 1891, it operates as an arena and organization. You can find two theaters inside this National Guard Armory, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. It is a great spot to see how old military structures can be repurposed for the arts.
Lo primero que notará es la arquitectura neorrománica de la Catedral de Santa María de la Inmaculada Concepción. Esta catedral católica en Portland, Oregón, comenzó a construirse en 1925. Joseph Jacobberger fue el arquitecto del edificio. Es un sitio importante en la ciudad, ya que es la sede del Arzobispado de Portland en Oregón. Los visitantes pueden apreciar las decisiones de diseño específicas tomadas por Jacobberger cuando comenzó la construcción. Este lugar emblemático sigue siendo un punto central de fe e historia para la comunidad en los Estados Unidos.
Puede seleccionar artefactos, materiales de archivo y obras de arte específicos en todo el Museo Judío de Oregón. Ubicado en Portland, este museo judío está dedicado a la preservación, la investigación y la exposición de estos elementos relacionados con los judíos y el judaísmo en Oregón. Es el museo más grande dedicado a la historia documentada y visual de los judíos de Oregón, Estados Unidos. He descubierto que la colección ofrece una visión clara del patrimonio de la región. Permítame mostrarle cómo estas piezas cuentan una historia más amplia de la comunidad.
Located on Southwest Park Avenue, Director Park is a nearly half-acre urban park. It is a paved space that lacks any natural areas and contains little vegetation. While it provides a spot to gather downtown, the park covers a 700-space underground parking garage. This garage connects underground to the Park Avenue West Tower and the Fox Tower. I've noticed it's a great spot for people-watching since there aren't many trees to block the view, making it one of the most open spaces in the heart of the city.
Located at 8 Northwest Sixth Avenue in the Old Town Chinatown neighborhood, the Roseland Theater is a music venue with a distinct architectural history. The building was originally constructed in 1922 by the Apostolic Faith Church. In 1982, Larry Hurwitz converted the former church into a music venue known as Starry Night. Following an ownership transfer in 1991, the venue was given its current name. During the 1990s, Double Tee acquired control of the hall's operations. You can still see the remnants of its past as a church building within the layout of the current theater.
Look closely at the paint on these pillars to see the work of Tom Stefopoulos, who painted the columns between 1948 and 1952. Together, they form a mural that originally supported the Lovejoy Ramp. This viaduct carried the western approach to the Broadway Bridge from 1927 to 1999. When the viaduct was demolished in 1999, the architectural group Rigga worked to spare the columns from demolition. For five years following that demolition, the columns remained in storage beneath the Fremont Bridge. I've seen plenty of things tucked away in this city, but these are a special find.
Fundada en 1928, Congregation Beth Israel es una congregación y sinagoga judía reformista ubicada en 1931 NW Flanders Street. La estructura fue diseñada por el arquitecto Morris H. Whitehouse y está construida en el estilo arquitectónico de Renacimiento bizantino. Los visitantes pueden observar los detalles únicos de este estilo específico en el exterior. Debido a su importancia histórica y arquitectónica, la sinagoga es un lugar incluido en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos. Sigue siendo un sitio central para su comunidad en Portland, Oregón, en los Estados Unidos.
Este no es un parque tranquilo, sino un estadio en el barrio de Goose Hollow de Portland. Providence Park es un estadio al aire libre donde se celebran partidos de fútbol y donde juegan los Portland Thorns FC de la National Women's Soccer League y los Portland Timbers de la Major League Soccer. A. E. Doyle y Morris H. Whitehouse fueron los arquitectos de las instalaciones, cuya construcción comenzó en 1926. He visto a muchos aficionados reunirse aquí los días de partido, y la energía siempre es increíble. Es un lugar ideal para sentir el pulso de la ciudad mientras se disfruta de un partido bajo el cielo abierto.
Diseñado por Rapp y Rapp en el estilo arquitectónico del Renacimiento, el Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall es un lugar incluido en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos. Este auditorio en Portland sirve como sede de música y películas. Actualmente es el hogar de la Orquesta Sinfónica de Oregón. Cuando el edificio se inauguró por primera vez en 1927, se conocía como el Paramount Theatre. Siempre me ha gustado cómo el elegante exterior hace que toda la manzana se sienta un poco más formal, y es un gran lugar para admirar la artesanía de la fachada mientras caminas.
Located on Clay Street in Downtown Portland, Keller Auditorium is a performing arts center and part of Portland's Centers for the Arts. The multi-purpose hall first opened in 1917. While it has a long history, an extensive remodeling and modernization in 1967–68 changed its original exterior appearance beyond recognition. I've seen plenty of changes from the air, but that one was a total transformation. It is a central spot for the city's cultural life, though it looks nothing like it did when it first opened over a century ago.
The United States Navy operated the USS Blueback, a Barbel-class attack submarine. Started in 1959, this vessel is now a preserved watercraft and a National Register of Historic Places listed place. I can show you where it sits today, as it was made into an exhibit at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. It is a great spot to see how these crews lived and worked beneath the waves. You will find it is a tight fit inside, which is exactly how these ships were designed to function while on patrol.
You might expect a Portland park to be a dense thicket of pines, but Lovejoy Fountain Park is an urban park located right in downtown Portland, Oregon. It is a curated city space designed for public use rather than a wilderness preserve. This particular spot had its inception in 1966, giving visitors a place to pause amidst the surrounding city buildings. I've found it's a great spot to watch the crowds go by while you take a breather and enjoy the open air. It is a welcome change of pace from the busy streets.
You can find the Weather Machine tucked into a corner of Pioneer Courthouse Square. It is a lumino kinetic bronze sculpture and columnar machine that functions as a weather beacon, displaying a weather prediction every day at noon. The piece was designed and constructed by Omen Design Group Inc. and cost $60,000. When it was installed in 1988, two thousand people showed up for the dedication. I've seen a few confused tourists staring at it, wondering if the forecast is actually right.
Lo primero que notará son los altos muros de Lan Su Chinese Garden, que encierran una manzana entera en la zona de Chinatown del barrio de Old Town Chinatown. Anteriormente conocido como Portland Classical Chinese Garden, este lugar se denomina Jardín de las Orquídeas Despertadas. El jardín está influenciado por muchos de los famosos jardines clásicos de Suzhou y ocupa aproximadamente 40.000 pies cuadrados. Es un lugar tranquilo para pasear cuando necesita un descanso del ruido del centro. He descubierto que su distribución lo convierte en un lugar ideal para estirar las piernas.
The Veterans Memorial Coliseum is an indoor arena located in Portland. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is officially recognized as a National Treasure. When you look at the building, you can pick out the clean lines and functional form of the International Style of architecture. I've noticed that the area around here always feels like the heart of the city's sports history, as it has hosted countless events and games. It is a great spot to stop and appreciate how the city's skyline has evolved around this specific landmark.
You can pick out the gallery space of the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art before seeing the broader reach of the organization. PICA is a contemporary performance and visual arts organization located in Portland, Oregon. Founded in 1995 by Kristy Edmunds, it has spent decades bringing modern creativity to the city. Every September, the organization presents the Time-Based Art Festival, which has been an annual event since 2003. I've noticed that the energy here shifts whenever the festival rolls around.
