Wow! Who would have thought? - Ta bu shi da yu 06:45, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

My park is smaller. I'm telling!   freshgavin TALK    03:16, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Does anyone happen to have the cartesian coordinates for the precise location of the park? It'd be nice to have in the article if anyone knows where to find that sort of information. :) Errick 18:45, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

I used [1] to determine that the intersection of Naito and Taylor is at Latitude = 45.5161, Longitude = -122.6733. (Original Research? Eh, Probably OK.) —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 18:50, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Where's me pot o' gold?

"Portland Parks officials said it would be returned to a site about seven and half feet east of its original location following completion of the project, expected in July 2006."

Are there any updates on this? ~Inkuh 20:14, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, I know that the street is still under construction. I think they may have decided to do parts of the project in a different order, resulting in construction in the area of the light post hole lasting longer. See how [2] shows that stage 3 is being completed before stage 2. Jason McHuff 06:57, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
I work about a half-block up Taylor street (and 15 stories up) from this park. Construction on Natio is pretty much finished. I'll check it out and update. ryan 21:31, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Needs Rewording

The park was temporarily relocated in February 2006 during road construction to a planter outside the World Trade Center Building Two, about 80 feet from its proper location.

World Trade Center number two is not 80 feet from Portland Oregon. Not sure what original author was trying to say, but it doesn't come across here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tkstock (talkcontribs) 14:38, August 28, 2007 (UTC)

The author meant the World Trade Center located in Portland, Oregon, just to the west of the proper location. There are several others; see World Trade Center (disambiguation). —EncMstr 15:16, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
