Tributes

His term as governor was honored after his death by the dedication of Gov. Tom McCall Waterfront Park, a 37-acre (150,000 m²) park which runs along the Willamette River for the length of downtown Portland. It was built in 1974 by removing Harbor Drive, a freeway which previously ran alongside the river. The annual Tom McCall Forum, which pairs prominent speakers with opposing political viewpoints, is presented by Pacific University.
