The Friends

Friends of Wilshire Park became a committee of the Beaumont Wilshire Neighborhood Association (BWNA) in 2018. The committee's mission is to work with Portland Parks and Recreation, local neighborhood associations, and our northeast neighbors to improve and enhance Wilshire Park and to act as a forum for park issues.

Mary Roney

Resident of Beaumont-Wilshire since: 1991

Volunteer for FOWP since: 2019

Why I volunteer for FOWP: "Having lived in this community for 34 years, and after countless daily visits to the Wilshire Park off-leash area where I’ve made so many wonderful friends, I chose to join the effort to fundraise for the park’s much-needed improvements."

Kelly Thompson

Resident of Beaumont-Wilshire since: 2009

Volunteer for FOWP since: 2019

Why I volunteer for FOWP: "For years, Wilshire Park was where my children played on the playground, then baseball and soccer, and today it’s where I walk our pup and reconnect with neighbors. Giving my time to support this park felt like the natural next chapter of being part of this community."

John Sandy

Resident of Beaumont-Wilshire since: 2011

Volunteer for FOWP since: 2017

Why I volunteer for FOWP: "After finishing major house projects, I was looking for something to keep me active in retirement, and felt what better way to spend my time and energies then on local issues and improvements directly impacting the neighborhood around me."
