Providence Park station

Providence Park is a light rail station on the MAX Blue and Red lines located in the Goose Hollow neighborhood of Portland, Oregon.

The station primarily serves Providence Park and residential areas around West Burnside Street.

The station's southern platform (used by eastbound trains), on Yamhill Street, was located directly adjacent to the longtime printing plant of the city's major newspaper, The Oregonian,[3] until the plant's closure in 2015[4] and demolition in 2018.

[7] The nearby westbound platform features small bronze pedestals in the shapes of a "stump, capital and soapbox, suggest[ing] podiums for impromptu oratories".

[7] A utility building is adorned with stainless-steel panels etched with poems by writer Robert Sullivan on the history of the region and "great moments in Oregon free-speech history", Oregonian architecture critic Randy Gragg wrote in a 1998 review.

The station's eastbound platform, shown in 2015, is located on Yamhill Street and is separate from the westbound platform. One building of the former Oregonian printing plant is at left.
