The condition of the historic Eastern Promenade and Fort Allen had declined from the glory years of 1890-1930. A 2004 master plan for the Eastern Promenade made numerous recommendations to restore the historic character of the park. In 2006 the Friends of Eastern Promenade were founded to help enact the plan’s recommendations. The Friends of Eastern Promenade commissioned a master plan specifically for Fort Allen. The City Council approved plan was completed in 2015 with support from the City of Portland and private donation.
