The Human Access Project has been hard at work on an assortment of river-related projects, some small—like advocating for the placement of ladders on various docks—and others larger, like the annual Big Float celebration at Tom McCall Bowl, which earlier this month had its ninth outing. Three years ago, HAP celebrated a major milestone with the opening of Poet’s Beach downtown, the city’s first official swimming beach. And now, after years of work, it marks another milestone with the city’s second official swimming beach, the newly opened Audrey McCall Beach, located on the east side of the river near the Hawthorne Bridge.
