Getting to the Conference

Getting Here By Car

Explore Washington Park charges for parking starting from 9:30 am. This fee is collected by Portland Parks and Recreation. You can pay at the parking kiosks or by using the Parking Kitty mobile app.
Parking rates are:
- USD $2.00/Hour
- USD $8.00/All Day
Getting Here By Light Rail
World Forestry Center is located at the Washington Park Max station and is easily accessible via the MAX light rail (Red or Blue Lines). All-day passes are $5.
From downtown Portland to World Forestry Center: Board the MAX Blue Line or Red Line heading west. A westbound train leaves every five to ten minutes. Exit at the Washington Park Station, take the elevator up to the ground floor, and follow signs to our campus.
From the Airport to downtown Portland: Due to TriMet’s ongoing “A Better Red” construction project, service on the MAX Red Line is currently disrupted between Portland International Airport and the Gateway Transit Center. Shuttle buses will be running every 15 minutes to provide service between the two locations. At the Gateway Transit Center, board the MAX Red Line to the city center. This train leaves every 15 minutes. For more information on service disruption, please see TriMet’s webpage on “A Better Red.”
