Village Park Design Concept

“Based on community input, we are pleased to release our plan for Village Park. This space will be divided into two program areas: the lower (South) patio will feature a patio that can accommodate a food truck and upper (North) patio that will be a flat open area to provide space for a variety of activities based on community needs and programs.  There is a proposed path and staircase through the site for added circulation between the upper and lower parts of the Park. The Village Park celebrates our Oregon natives and provides much needed habitat for our local pollinators.  We look forward to working with the community to bring it to life!”

- Clement Walsh Landscape Architect Inc.

Stormwater Stars

Planting Event

We have been partnering with the Westside Watershed Resource Center and Stormwater Stars to improve the steep slope on the site with Native Plants. On October 27 a Stormwater Stars Workshop was held where we learned about the benefits of planting native plants for watershed health and stormwater reduction. With a fantastic group of volunteers, we planted nearly 180 Valley native shrubs and perennials.
