Tigard Universal Plaza Tigard, OR

Universal Plaza: Tigard's Pocket Park // Universal Plaza is a charming pocket park located in Tigard, just outside Portland, Oregon. Designed as a community hub, it seamlessly connects Main Street with the Fanno Creek nature walk. The park's branding, developed in-house at RIOS, embodies its playful and natural ethos. This theme is reflected in the monument design, which encourages play and includes interpretive signs about Fanno Creek. All on-site signage is powder-coated for durability against the Pacific Northwest's outdoor elements.
