Venue Details: 
Gateway Green is envisioned as an open space and recreation area, as well as a working test site for "green" innovation. Connected to Portland's famed 40 Mile Loop (a pedestrian and bike route originally proposed by the Olmstead Brothers in 1904 and now nearly complete), Gateway Green stands to become a regional destination for locals, tourists, and green industry professionals. The land is located where I-84 and I-205 cross paths and was once the site of Multnomah County's Rocky Butte Jail. Gateway Green is unique in that the park is only accessible by foot, bike and light rail via the I-205 path. It's located approximately a .25 miles north of the Gateway Transit Center.
