Springwater Cart Park, formerly known as Cartlandia,[1] is a food cart pod in Portland, Oregon, United States.

Description

The pod is located near the intersection of 82nd Avenue and the Springwater Corridor in southeast Portland's Brentwood-Darlington neighborhood.[2] Businesses have included Nacheaux[3] and Taste of Mongolia.[4]

History

Owner Roger Goldingay opened the pod in 2011.[5] In 2016, he joined a coalition to sue the city and Mayor Charlie Hales in an effort to overturn a law permitting homeless people to camp and sleep on sidewalks.[2] The pod was burglarized in 2016[6] and 2020.[7] [8] It became known as Springwater Cart Park.
