This historic park follows the west side of the Willamette river in downtown Portland. 20 years ago this was the site of the World Footbag Championships finals for net and two blocks up, freestyle. It’s a beautiful walk and/or bike ride, not to mention an excellent place to kick!

Pioneer Square/Downtown
701 SW 6th Ave, Portland, OR 97205
Very close to the center point of footbag, Pioneer Square is drenched in footbag history. From the many generations of kickers to the US Open Footbag Championships, this location is truly a landmark in our sport. Even today you might see a kicking circle or two, the record we’ve witnessed on a normal day was six!

Pittock Mansion
3229 NW Pittock Dr, Portland, OR 97210
Up the hill and overlooking the city stands the everlasting Pittock Mansion, another icon of the Portland area. The mansion was originally built in 1909 as a private home for London-born Oregonian publisher Henry Pittock and his wife, Georgiana. That’s from Wikipedia, and before I get slapped for plagiarism I’ll just say it’s a gorgeous and historical location with a view to die for. Also another extremely photographic location for footbag!
