Title	Lovejoy Fountain Park
Creator.Persons	Halprin, Lawrence
Notes	Built 1963. Project Description: The fountain wonderfully captures the spirit of Oregon's streams. Pouring in a sheet over the lip of the upper pool, the water is whipped into a foaming cascade as it splashes down over an irregular series of stair steps and then out again to a placid lower basin. Lovejoy Fountain Park, along with Pettygrove Park, is in what was known in the 1960s as an urban renewal area. Both Lovejoy Park and Pettygrove Park were unnamed until their opening. A flip of the same coin used by Mr. Lovejoy and Mr. Pettygrove was to decide whether the city would be named Portland or Boston. Project History: Pettygrove was from Portland, Maine. Lovejoy was the director of Oregon's first telegraph company and an active participant in railroad development of the Willamette Valley. Project Location: SW 3rd and Harrison, Portland, OR. Size: 1/3 acres
