Jamison Square

Jamison Square is a small urban plaza in Portland’s Pearl District known for its hardscape, lawn and a shallow interactive fountain. It was created as part of the neighborhood’s redevelopment and functions as a local gathering and play space.

The plaza’s main feature is an engineered fountain area with low jets and stone terraces that operate seasonally and attract families and passersby. Nearby seating, a small lawn and a play area make it a compact city park used for casual recreation and neighborhood events.

Jamison Square was developed during the Pearl District’s conversion from industrial to mixed-use residential and commercial blocks and is maintained as a public urban plaza. Landscaping and water features are designed for year-round urban use, with the fountain operating in warm months only.

The square sits in the Pearl District, a short walk northwest of downtown Portland and within the city’s dense mixed-use neighborhood.
