Perched on Singer Hill Bluff above the Willamette River, the McLoughlin Promenade is a scenic pathway in Oregon City designed in the National Park Service rustic style. Built between 1936 and 1939 as a joint public works project between Oregon and the federal government, it occupies land formerly inhabited by the Molala and other indigenous peoples. Named after pioneer John McLoughlin, who donated his property for the public promenade, the pathway courses 100 feet above the city and features the distinctive Grand Staircase and an artificial Singer Creek Falls. Later enhancements include lighting installed by the local Kiwanis club in 1972 and a Lee Kelly Moontrap bas-relief sculpture added by the Rotary Club in 2011.
