TEAR-OUT SUMMER FUN GUIDE INSIDE! | NCPRD.COM DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE Summer is finally here and the sunshine and warmer weather bring endless possibilities for fun and adventure.As you start planning your summer activities and outdoor excursions, we hope you’ll use this Discovery Guide to explore the many benefits of living and playing in North Clackamas Parks and Recreation District. eW invite you to take advantage of the many programs, classes, and special events available to you and your family this season. NCPRD has something fun for all ages and interest levels, including parks and trails, summer camps, Movies in the Park, RecMobile, Big Surf! at North Clackamas Aquatic Park, and much more! At NCPRD, we believe that everyone should have access to nature, parks, and recreation programming. That’s why we’re constantly striving to better serve our community and help enrich the lives of District residents. Our strategic partnership with North Clackamas School District aims to do just that and would provide new parks and recreation opportunities throughout the District, especially where they’re needed most. As part of the agreement, NCPRD would exchange Hood View Park in Happy Valley for the Concord Elementary School and former NCSD Administration Building in Milwaukie, and appromimately $16M cash. NCSD would get the needed sports complex for their new high school at the Rock Creek campus, and NCPRD would utilize funds from the agreement to pay off debt, freeing up District operating funds. This partnership is a true win-win for the community. There are also exciting new projects already in process that will provide new community parks and green spaces. One such project is Wichita Park. NCPRD, in partnership with the City of Milwaukie, received $265,000 in grant funding from the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) for improvements to Wichita Park. The grant, in combination with $255,000 from NCPRD funds and a $10,000 grant from the Linwood Neighborhood District Association, will go toward transforming the site into a neighborhood park and gathering place. Soon the empty site will be home to a playground, paths, picnic tables, open turf area, and native landscaping for all to enjoy! Most importantly, we want to hear from you. NCPRD is an organization of the community and for the community, and we’ll continue to engage and inform District residents as exciting new developments take shape. From all of us at NCPRD, have a happy and safe summer!
