Equity Impacts PP&R's vision is “a parks and recreation system that is responsive to diverse and changing community needs, nurturing health and connection for all,” and the bureau's mission is “to provide equitable access to welcoming places, program, and services that improve community health and our environment.” To achieve this, the bureau centers the City's Core Values and the Healthy Parks, Healthy Portland framework—both equity-driven tools—in its daily work and strategic decision-making. The Leadership and Advocacy program advances this approach in its External Affairs & Partnerships work, as it supports the Parks Board, and through strategic guidance and leadership within the bureau. Changes to Program During FY 2025-26 one Director's Office coordinator position was realigned to support PWSA priorities; and the External Affairs & Partnerships function was established to deliver on leadership and community expectations for renewed strategic focus on partnerships, volunteerism, and fundraising. 914
