Penguin Swimming Pool in 1957 a while ago
0 People have been here:
Description:
The swimming pool along N. Portland Blvd. was occupied by penguins in 1957.
The city zoo housed its penguins in the center's pool for six months because the zoo lacked the proper facilities when the birds arrived from Antarctica. Many Portlanders still remember calling it Penguin Park!
