Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan Update

Please tell us how you feel about City of West Linn parks and recreation facilities.

[If satisfactory, fair or poor] What could we do better? 1. community pool 2. Limit new development to ensure we lose no more green space. 3. Pool 4. Allow behaved dogs off leash. 5. tennis and basketball courts in Marylhurst would have been nice. 6. Trails, 7. Stop trying to build "parks". The miserable failure of Midhill Park was a waste of taxpayer dollars and a travesty to the natural environment. The whole park is slowly sliding off the hillside. The entire area is water logged 9 months of the year. 8. Ken, retire, new leadership in parks and rec. Finish the path from Bolton to Willamette. You have the money, get it done or step aside. Have a greater commitment to the summer concerts. I can hear them from my house and rarely ever go, better bands. 9. better Summer tennis program. Reach out to local coaches like myself now that Tim is not doing it anymore 10. I would like to see a community center for families to use. I would like to see a community pool for school swim team. 11. "It rains a lot in Oregon. We could really use more covered spaces, even if they are outdoors. 12. The Select atthletic programs start way too young, and monopolize too much of the resource capacity. This leaves P&R programs limited as 3rd place." 13. Broader access to indoor activities especially on weekend 14. Rec basketball for high school age kids 15. More turf fields 16. Better communication with the schools when trying to use their open spaces or gyms. Kids repeatedly are double booked or not even booked at all with no communication. Unacceptable and costly. 17. Better maintenance and upgrades of existing facilities. 18. Would like to see more walking paths. Also - would LOVE an indoor Tennis Center. 19. I think it's time to yield youth basketball to a private club or association. 20. Probably more indoor activities 21. -There isn't much of a kids park in the Summit neighborhood. The Sahallie-Illahe park is in such disrepair that it's not worth the walk. -Can you mark the trails throughout town and create/distribute maps of the trails? 22. The staging area in Wilderness Park is just a pile of junk. It seems under-utilized and has so much potential if it wasn't just a pile of un wanted stuff. 23. Having more indoor recreation facilities for all the months that it is pouring rain would be great...or even covered areas in existing outdoor areas that allow for some playing outside even if the weather is bad. 24. Need a west linn trail system that connects neighborhoods, without necessarily connecting to adjacent towns.

Appendix A: Summary of Open-ended Responses | 1 [If satisfactory, fair or poor] What could we do better? 25. Have a community swimming pool 26. "All year basketball for kids. Add additional walking trails through parks and neighborhoods." 27. Indoor facilities to use in winter for sports 28. Provide a rec center where children could take swimming lessons, indoor sports lessons, etc 29. "Add a youth track recreation program. Build a recreation center with indoor/outdoor pool, basketball courts and party rooms for rental." 30. Mulching the trails along Wilderness park. Updating the Sunset Firehall and the Bolton Firehalls so they look nice or in the case of Bolton remove it for better options. 31. Indoor recreation center 32. An indoor rec Center or community center would be fantastic. 33. It would be nice to have an indoor facility for basketball not just the school. An indoor swimming pool/facility would be a huge plus. I don't believe the city owns Oppenlander Park but if you do bathrooms (not port o johns) are HUGE need there. 34. Sunset firehall and sunset park require substantial updating. 35. Trash can (maybe fixed in place) on island at MSY park for summer would be nice. 36. Preschool age kids need activities. 37. The skateboard park is a nuisance. Loud music playing, kids cursing loudly, and tons of trash thrown over the fence onto the trail. I find it makes me not want to walk in the proximity.... 38. "There are too many teams and not enough space for adequate practice times. We need community indoor facilities." 39. Keeping off leash dogs iff the trails 40. More athletic venues for the youth of West Linn with equality between girls and boys. 41. Not tear down parks!!! (i.e. Sunset)... provide more natural settings for kids to explore- not just plastic play structures- think Sellwood Natural Park :-) 42. More family friendly community events 43. Stop further development 44. Stop using roundup where dogs and children play 45. West Linn needs a swimming pool. Learning to swim is an important life skill for the safety of all ages . West Linn high school swim team needs a pool to practice in so they don't have to travel. We support other sports. Why not swimming? 46. A community pool and recreation center, for kids to play table tennis and host indoor activities. The Sellwood Park is an ideal example of what could be added to wilderness park. Wilderness park has both space for a center and parking. 47. It would be really nice to have an indoor swimming pool where kids could take lessons. 48. More classes for kids. Ita always the same few things. The sunset firehall Needs in update. Another Patel near bland would be great ...we don't have a park. 49. As much as I enjoy walking in the rain, I would like indoor recreation near the river such as a YMCA and also tennis/basketball courts and a pool in the Willamette area (which can be outdoor or covered.) 50. More indoor athletic opportunities. Maybe a community pool? 51. Build a Rec center! 52. It would be great to have adult co-ed sports teams and more area protected from development (I.e. The large lot across from Rosemont ridge) 53. Provide better river trails and access 54. Get rid of publisher's pond, expand the park and build a bike path along the river. Or provide more places for bikes to ride along the narrow willamette falls drive. It's dangerous for bikers and runners. 55. We need a more central space for swimming, more serious gymnastics and a place for our kids to excel beyond dance.

2 | Draft Summary of Online Questionnaire

[If satisfactory, fair or poor] What could we do better? 56. Make Oppendlander SR field all turf outfield and add scoreboard. 57. Having indoor basketball courts that are easier to access would be great. 58. I could not think of any indoor athletic facilities open to the public. Only sunset fire hall that could be rented. An open, indoor facility for kids to play on rainy days would be nice. 59. Finish the bike trail behind Barrington Heights and keep the parks open at night for night bicycling (the new rule sucks and there aren't any squatters so it is moot point!). 60. Indoor and outdoor Swimming facility 61. Build a public pool. 62. There is a trail near our home on Taylor Drive. It's very overgrown with branches and blackberry vines along the bluff. It really needs to be cleaned up. I've also noticed the walking paths at parks are often overgrown making it hard to maneuver. 63. I can't think of indoor activities beyond the library. With the long rainy season it would help to have local options. 64. I am not aware of any indoor recreational facilities that are run by parks and rec in west Linn. Also last year the Mary S young fields were destroyed by the rain. Installing better drainage systems for the fields in the major sports parks 65. I have seen little info regarding activities at any of the parks. Above indoor activities are mentioned and I don't believe I have heard of a single one of those. I would also like a disc golf course (even if just 9 baskets) and would help out. 66. We desperately need an indoor Rec centre for all ages. We have so much poor weather here and so many families. An large indoor pool, indoor skating rink, courts, etc. We are not religious so don't want to go to a church for a gym. 67. Overall parks are great as are summer events. Some older parks like Sunburst could use updating. 68. We need a year round Aquatic/Recreation/Communoty Center ASAP!! For such an active community, it is just unfathomable that we do not have this, for ALL residents.I am well aware of the past ballot measure which I actively supported.Let's get it done! 69. I'm not aware of any indoor parks and rec facilities that would be in line with my family's interests. 70. More artificial turf fields and less community garden and green spaces 71. WiFi at all Parks (Skyline Ridge) 72. "More development of trails in current parks. 73. Nature camps in parks (like the ones developed at Tyron Creek Park- which I have taken my kids to.)" 74. More adult sports leagues 75. Indoor community space and recreation. 76. More indoor facility space for recreation programming for all ages 77. Need a better indoor facility. Pool? 78. We need a full Rec center with a pool, gym, etc. 79. Definitely need to address a better community center. One that provides more activity options, pool access, play space, kid & family activities. Seems odd to not have more of it in such a family focused community. 80. It is unthinkable that a community as educated and affluent as ours does not have a city swimming pool. 81. It would appear the city needs more staffing for parks. 82. I would like to see more youth activity leagues that are not as competitive as the school leagues. I would also like to see more youth "lifelong learning" classes like cooking for teens, sewing for teens, home finances for teens (and adults!). 83. More dedicated indoor recreational facilities including indoor & outdoor pool. 84. We really have no indoor recreation facilities. Pushing for a community pool again would be nice. 85. Need indoor recreation spaces, such as community gyms, city-run pools, etc.

Appendix A: Summary of Open-ended Responses | 3 [If satisfactory, fair or poor] What could we do better? 86. I don't really know of any indoor recreation facilities that are city owned/operated? I guess Sunset Firehall could qualify...there just don't seem to be many I can think of ;) 87. More open space preservation, with better access 88. I walk my dogs every day along trails near Tanner Creek Park. There are not enough recepticles for dog poop bags. As a result, I have to carry filled bags a distance until I get to the next recepticle. Some people toss their bags into vegetation. 89. I continue to wish that West Linn had an actual rec center with a swimming pool. 90. I would love to see more sports and the offerings for youth that are accessible to families with two working parents. Have been using Lake Oswego's offerings--like youth fencing. 91. Does the Parks and Rec department have any indoor facilities? I believe they all belong to the school district. 92. West Linn needs a proper recreation center 93. Fire parks director. He has no vision, no backbone or ethics. 94. I would like to see a public pool that would accommodate a community/city swim team as well as our high school swim team (and water polo.) This could also be used for swim lessons, water aerobics/physical therapy and lap swimming. 95. West Linn is a beautiful community but there is really very little for youth to do unless you are in organized sports and activities and they have to be driven most places to partake in other activities. Easier access to old Willamette would help 96. 1. Create (or advertise) a way to notify the city when trees, overgrowth occur on trails, explain to the public priorities, schedules of maintenance, request for community help, etc. 2. There are no indoor recreational areas that I am aware of. 97. Providing a place to gather. An example is Millennium Park in downtown Lake Oswego. 98. take the cost of the parks dept. off my water bill and put it back on property tax bill. complete walking paths along Willamette and Tualatin rivers from the arch bridge to field bridge. 99. Better care of the parks during the winter months. Kids and families still like to go to the parks and there is a lot of tree debris and limbs which should be cleaned up on a more regular basis. 100. Improve cleanliness and safety of picnic areas 101. "Help develop a more cohesive overall West Linn identity and collaborative culture, not sparring NIMBY neighborhoods, generally run by just a zealot few. Develoop a 'downtown' West Linn." 102. More open spaces for off-leash dog walking 103. Need more turf fields. 104. The Robinwood Community Center needs some updating. I wish there were more indoor rentable facilities for small groups like birthdays that was updated and a place where kids could and would want to play. I'd love a path from Willamette park to falls. 105. Indoor recreation facilities. (Are there any now?) 106. "Swimming areas that are not private and neighborhood exclusive. Activities for teens and appropriate places for them to go to socialize that are not church based" 107. Actually have a community center. 108. expansion of central community areas in the parks. Create central areas of community congregation near local businesses. e.g. near a cofee shop outdoor benches and play space. More coverage for rain or ground in playgrounds conducive to rain 109. Additional parks with well maintained walking trails, more green space. Get rid of current West Linn logo (writing and mountains) as it is very dated; create new, more attractive logo and make sure WL is identified, as well as the parks, with this. 110. I would love more pocket parks and walking trails. 111. The streams are choked with blackberries and the trees in the riparian zones are growing ivy. Both are invasive species. When is the City going to clear the streams?

4 | Draft Summary of Online Questionnaire

[If satisfactory, fair or poor] What could we do better? 112. It would be nice to have more turf fields. Lots of games were canceled in the fall because the fields were ruined. And the gym space is a nightmare. There is nothing worse than having a first grader with a 7 pm practice time. 113. Build more natural wetlands into open/park settings. 114. A dedicated parks and rec facility for younger people not just a senior center. 115. A community swimming pool and rec center that would be affordable to all. 116. We are angry that the Cedar Oak public access has been closed for so long. We use the park and not the boat launch. Why must we be not allowed in the park for so long. 117. Park maintenance. Don't get so much that you can't maintain what you have. 118. West Linn's indoor facilities are good quality, there's just not much quantity, particularly courts. 119. Keep the parks CLEAN. Create sidewalks on all main streets so we can safely walk places in west linn! Walking on Sunset is downright dangerous. 120. More off-leach areas for dogs. 121. I have rated the indoor recreation facilities as "Satisfactory" because to my knowledge the only indoor facilities offered are the school spaces (gyms, multi-purpose rooms). The community "centers" are small and rundown. 122. more green space, less developments. connect the green spaces so animals have a place to live rather then the areas just looking green. 123. Have an aquatic pool/fitness center. 124. I'm not aware of any "indoor recreation" facilities in West Linn that are open to the general public. It would be great if we had a public swimming pool. Everything else is really great and well maintained. 125. Is a community pool feasible? 126. Maintenance on natural trails, possibly use volunteers if too costly. Improve the pedestrian crossing in these areas. 127. Add more natural parks 128. Promote more parks and less housing development which will create over crowded schools and more traffic. 129. I am not aware of indoor recreation areas. 130. Improve walking/bicycle connections for safety. 131. I grew up in WL, lived in Beaverton for the last 2 years and moved back to WL last summer. I have a toddler that I was looking to enroll in activities similar to THPRD but I'm really disappointed in what WL has to offer for youth activities. 132. WEST LINN HAS A HISTORICALLY DEPLORABLE RECORD VIS-A-VIS PROTECTION OF THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT. DAVID BRAGDON, FORMER HEAD OF METRO WAS A SUBSTANTIAL CRITIC OF THE CITY'S RECORD WITH RESPECT TO PROTECTION OF NATURAL WILD LIFE RESOURCES. 133. involve teenagers 134. more open space for hiking with learning opportunities 135. Can't think of what you have in the way of Indoor Recreation Facilities...... A few fire halls and McLean house for gatherings.... Love all the parks. 136. Maintenance. Jobs seem to sit forever. Fields Bridge Park has issues that should be addressed. 137. Do we have any indoor recreation facilities? An indoor rec. center would be nice. Also, our community events are a little embarrassing and unprofessional. I'm pretty sure it's way past time to do away with the Old Time Fair court of princesses. 138. Promote more community events in parks or outdoors gatherings - group hikes, arts & crafts shows, live music performances outdoors. All during good weather seasons. More live music, author readings, community storytelling at West Linn library! 139. More indoor rec areas and additional parks

Appendix A: Summary of Open-ended Responses | 5 [If satisfactory, fair or poor] What could we do better? 140. The trails could be improved. For example, better maintenance and identification of the Pimlico trail. Also, a natural buffer between Rosemont Rd and the trail would reduce the road noise and increase pedestrian safety 141. Lake Oswego provides a much greater menu of recreational offerings, both for kids and adults. 142. Facilities are limited and not always open to the public. 143. Offer more children's programs at times that work well for families with both parents working full time. For example, summer camps that run full day and more classes offered on weekends. 144. quit converting our green spaces and "wilderness parks" into playing fields. Keep it green, open and natural. Thank you for buying Savannah Oaks. 145. Would like to see planted medians along Willamette Blvd from the LO border all the way to the Arch Bridge. 146. maintain and upgrade trails 147. Fields Bridge Park cannot support the number of users it gets. Please help the baseball community to figure out a different place to hold their games and especially tournaments. 148. Extend trail along Willamette river and develop the publishers pond area into a park with trails and wetlands! 149. More community events (not just for families but include seniors who still live here but don't have family here now; less than 1/3 of people here have kids in the schools) like ice cream socials, pruning demos, etc. Concerts are too loud. 150. Increase trail maintenance at parks such as Wilderness and Mary S. Young. Have more and more pervasive drop in use of school gyms for kids especially over holidays and school breaks. 151. The offerings for kids are so sparse where we moved from every season we got a 100 page book of classes activities events for kids, and adults. There were indoor parks which would be huge here, a community swimming pool/ water park, with an indoor gy 152. Indoor Swimming facility 153. Pool rec center, larger events. Hurry up willamette falls project and push tourism/small hotel 154. Love Mary S Young park. Palamino Trail is in bad need of repair. It would be nice if there was a fenced dog park. Maybe a joint venture with Lake Oswego to improve the drainage at their park. 155. I am unaware of any all ages community center. I regularly travel to Portland to use their indoor community centers (~once per week). 156. "Quit letting people build more houses here 157. We need the open spaces, not more businesses or houses." 158. Stop development of open spaces and natural areas! 159. Construct more hiking trails. 160. Convert a few tennis courts into either pickleball courts or "mixed use tennis/pickleball courts." 161. We would live to see regular communication with residents (emails, postcard, brochures, etc). 162. Put the cost of parks back in the budget rather than a fee on the water bill!!!!! West Linn is living beyond it's budget by doing this and until it is folded into the budget, no more parks, natural areas or trail should be built. 163. Richer summer camp. A week of playing inthe park got old for kids. More themes and field trips, days based around activities, kayaking, hiking, swimming. There is hige need for camps in this area - pull in best of other PDX camps. 164. Listen to stakeholders and don't be dishonest! 165. Provide off road biking opportunities. Dedicated mountain-biking trails. A pump track in Mary S Young. Other cities offer these activities and bring in a lot of outside attention. 166. Maintain more natural areas in the city. Work with city to prevent the removal of large trees and limit development in park areas.

6 | Draft Summary of Online Questionnaire

[If satisfactory, fair or poor] What could we do better? 167. The community is lacking activities for tweens and teens indoors such as swimming, bowling, community center or other meeting places that are safe and healthy for young people to gather. A low cost option is key for regular use. 168. "North Willamette park courts and bathrooms need better up keep. We really need a community indoor basketball/volleyball space. We also need a community space for pools." 169. opportunities for off leash trails. 170. Having an indoor swimming pool where kids could take swim lessons would be wonderful! 171. More art offerings and girls in wilderness. 172. We don't have any indoor recreation facilities for med-large groups. I have a girl scout troop and we are often looking for a large space to hold events and we nearly always have to rent a school, however they are often being used by the school. 173. Facilities for paddlers (to launch, to park, to shuttle). physically identify trails' routes on streets. More off leash opportunities. 174. Swimming pool. 175. Repair Robinwood Station. What's up with that? City has been dragging feet for years, denying legitimacy and allowing building to deteriorate. 176. Indoor swimming pool and other recreation facilities for children. ALL day care (8-5) for camps offered during no-school-days and summer otherwise it excludes families with working parents. Off-leash trails for dogs that are under voice control. 177. Address invasive plants in our parks and restore back to a native state. 178. More sports facilities/fields for the youth of our great community to enjoy and compete/share with other communities. These events usually bring many families together from all over Oregon & Washington and give us a chance to showcase our great area. 179. I would like us to have more indoor rec spaces-- even if it's just one indoor center ( with or without pool) so that we're not so reliant on using school district facilities. 180. Finish the river trail 181. Improve Sunset Fire Hall. It was great after it was updated, but then wasn't maintained. Also, there are several "forgotten" neighborhood parks that seem to get missed being maintained. I.e. Litter, low bark chips, etc 182. Bring back a park next to Sunset Elementary. It would also be great if we could get a pool and more indoor play areas. 183. Safety: need lighted/blinking pedestrian crosswalk signs by Willamette primary school and by restaurants in Old Willamette. Parked cars obstruct views in both areas above mentioned 184. Off more programs for youth and increases communication for parents seeking opportunities for youth to get involved in activities. Increased number of facilities and coaches available for youth sports. 185. We need an indoor pool or recreation center here in West Linn. 186. Get a community center/pool! 187. Build more tennis courts, with lights preferably. 188. Uncertain 189. Build a swimming pool. 190. "Indoor facilities that mimimize the effect of rain/weather. such as running racks, gyms, and swimming pool. 191. Year around farmers' market. 192. Health Fairs, Walk/Run events" 193. The dog park at Mary Young has taken over what use to be a community gem. I love dogs, but owners allow their pets to use all areas of the park indiscriminately as a doggy urinal...and a safety issue due to being off leash in all areas.

Appendix A: Summary of Open-ended Responses | 7 [If satisfactory, fair or poor] What could we do better? 194. In door spaces seem to old, fusty places (exception of the WLACC) that have been repurposed from other uses, but no money to update or adequately maintain/furnish. More money allocated to indoor facilities, since the weather is so dreadful here. 195. Continue with more community events. The summer concerts, which may not be a Parks and Rec. activity are wonderful. Also more offerings in the community education program. Finally Sunburst Park needs attention. 196. "Indoor pool Indoor basketball courts" 197. The sunset firehall needs work , the dancers have to dance in moldy conditions and I don't think that is a healthy environment for them 198. The parks are not kept up as they should be. Many people have dogs off leash and do not clean up after their dogs. 199. West Linn needs a public swimming pool! Additionally, a community center where kids could go to play basketball, especially on rainy days, would be wonderful. 200. "You could provide more kid friendly activities. Most parks have a free lunch program and different outdoor activities for kids 201. during the summer months. Something along the line of that." 202. "More turf. Indoor rec center." 203. I'm not aware of any indoor recreation facilities. I know we use the schools for youth leagues, but there is limited gym time available. There doesn't seem to be court space available for adult activities or leagues. 204. We would love to have a large community center complex with a pool large enough for swim meets or water polo competitions. Even as newcomers in 2014 we voted in favor of a pool. It is unfortunate the high school team has to practice at Tualatin Hi. 205. It's very sad that West Linn has so many parks and no swim facilities. A community so close to a river should be providing opportunities for children to learn to swim. Every other city in the metro area has a swim facility. Splash pads are a waste. 206. The small selection of activities for teenagers and older adults are farmed out to outside contractors with little knowledge or involvement from WL park employees. Love LO parks and rec services and staff. My children and I prefer to register there. 207. Provide a fitness and/or aquatic center 208. Aquatic/Recreation Center 209. Provide more opportunities for youth. 210. Provide more comprehensive after school opportunities for kids at their schools. Check out Lake Oswego's public parks programs that they offer at the schools immediately after school. 211. Annual Bike events for kids and families like sunday parkways in pdx; source for best walking/running trails using google maps 212. West Linn needs a large indoor recreation center especially for young teens and families. An indoor pool would be a great addition to the community as well as a nice community room and a place where young kids could enjoy indoor space during winter. 213. My Children go to school in West Linn. They also attended your Fun in the sun camps the last 2 years. Last year, we were incredibly disappointed in the program. The counselors were immature, "what's up chicken butt" they taught my 6 year old daugter. 214. I would love more opportunities for the younger kids, 2-5 year old range, particularly indoor recreation possibilities (playgroups, classes) 215. I wish there was an indoor playpark like Lake Oswego Parks and Rec has. We end up going to the playpark at Palisades and do mot activities through Lake O Parks and Rec because there's a larger selection and times/dates work better. 216. One of the most appealing aspects of West Linn are the parks. The abundance and quality. I would prefer for the farmers market to be in another location. It is too crowded along the old town. Also need an indoor play space for rainy months.

8 | Draft Summary of Online Questionnaire

[If satisfactory, fair or poor] What could we do better? 217. This winter really highlighted the need for better indoor park space for the community. 218. Fields bridge park is still not finished after all these years of development. It would be great to get this done. The area over by the gardens need to be completed and landscaped. 219. It would be nice to have a workout room in one of the community centers , for those of us who want to get some exercise especially during rainy season don't want to join a gym or commit to a regular class. Perhaps more community meeting rooms? 220. I am not aware of any indoor recreation opportunities except at the senior center, but the last time I went there, I couldn't stay in the building because of chemical air "fresheners" or scented laundry products, which harm health. 221. It would be nice to have a pool rather than yet another megachurch. 222. Aquatic center 223. Too much of the available park space is devoted to baseball and/or soccer fields. 224. Public Pool :) 225. Develop trails along the river 226. Less stringent dog regulations everwhere. There are many trolls out there who dislike dogs and their owners and the city and law enforcement seem to buy every story and listen to every phone call about some deranged dog or owner. 227. Get the pool passed! 228. Buy property for a swim pool in the Wonkers area adjacent to either of the two schools. Perfect location for having a public pool and incorporating pe into the school program where every kid learns to swim. Joint ownership between parks and schools 229. Build a community Rec center with a outdoor pool 230. I would like to see improvements to the playing fields. They are not always maintained well for the game that will played, i.e. Baseball fields. Advertising of events isn't easy seen. I don't find out about something unless I see it at the library. 231. I think our community really needs a rec center and swimming pool. The former Albertsons building would be amazing!!! 232. We enjoy the concerts in the parks, we try to visit the different parks within West Linn. Lots of places are walking distances which is convenient. I would like more bike trails and walking trails, more houses are going up, less green space 233. I would love to have an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, and a gym or two for children to play during rainy season. 234. We need more indoor activities for teens. 235. I read about the activities offered in Lake Oswego each week in our newspaper and feel they offer much more and/or communicate it better. The cost of many of the youth activities makes it hard to access for my grandkids 236. Have some facilities, like the WLACC open more evenings and possibly on Saturday. 237. There needs be more more activities for young families. Playgroups, park events during the summer (not camps, but similar to a rec bus), activities at the sunset fire hall or robin wood station during the day (gymnastics, toddler basketball, ec) 238. "Community/ city pool 239. Sidewalks/ walking or biking trails 240. More river access" 241. We need an indoor pool and community facility 242. Keeping bathroom facilites tidy, clean and safe feeling. Enforcing leash laws. Some of us are afraid of dogs, have been bitten, and can't use the parks as others are free to do, when citizens are allowed to have their dogs off leash. 243. More adult events or gatherings to socialize. Yoga in the park or West Linn wine tour event and shuttle

Appendix A: Summary of Open-ended Responses | 9 [If satisfactory, fair or poor] What could we do better? 244. Maintain the green area. Don't let the builders keep building houses and make the city too crowded. 245. We need a pool for the entire community for the kids during summer months. 246. Organization. Every sports event we've been to is so unorganized. I've had kids in sports for 10 years at Tualatin Valley Rec....they've got it down. Every parent I talk to complains about it. 247. An indoor activity center would be wonderful (swimming pool, etc) just not the expensive one previously proposed. 248. indoor facility for winter use 249. Provide more indoor or possibly covered outdoor spaces for more opportunities for activity in inclement weather. 250. Remind us of the resources in our own community so we don't travel away to pursue things we can do right here. 251. I need a community pool indoor and outdoor rec center 252. Fenced dog park like in LO. 253. Maintaining trail easements; waterfront access and continuous waterfront trails; ped/bike access between uphill and downhill neighborhoods; Willamette falls access and appearance of this city gateway 254. More outdoor programs for youth, families, and adults 255. Begin the control of exotic invasive plants in the natural areas as all other park systems have been doing for years.

A community pool. 269. "More nice restaurants. More shopping. Bakery" 270. Better maintain Skyline Park and Mary S. Young dog park 271. The Farmers Market needs work.

Pickle ball courts. 273. Your survey questions need another place to answer, like "Do Not Know". I honestly didn't know about any indoor rec facilities. 274.

[If satisfactory, fair or poor] What could we do better? 275. The parks and open spaces are a key part of what makes West Linn great. If Stafford develops, additional open space and parks should be acquired to preserve the rural nature. 276. Last spring we had a few unseasonably hot days. When we took our grandchildren to play in the water feature, it wasn't on yet for the season. It should be responsive to the needs / weather, not the calendar. Otherwise, the kids love that park. 277. na 278. Playground improvement at Sahalee Ilahee Park, is: more swings for older children, pave its basketball court, and make the basket/hoop adjustable. 279. More interconnected trails. Also, work with Stafford area to preserve land and create trail system that links up with West Linn. 280. West Linn desperately needs a pool/indoor rec center!

West Linn needs an indoor swimming facility. 282. More play options for kids during winter months, like covered or indoor play areas. More sidewalks and paths for walking. 283.

After nearly every Little League weekend, the park is full of trash. The organizers should be responsible for cleanup and dumping trash cans in dumpster. 298. I think there's a lot the could be done with the waterfront near the falls. I know it's been an area in flux planning wise for a long time but I would think tagging along with what's being planned on the Oregon City side would be wise. 299. We need a pool. We need more activities for youth and baby boomers outside of school and work hours 300. "Many park events are listed in the Tidings for L.O. Parks, not so for West Linn. 301.

Indoor Rec facilities...I'm completely unaware (and I've looked) of anything except a few rental facilities and the senior center.

Maintain trails and better access for non-motorized river access (kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, etc.

The number of vertebrate species living part of their lives in the Savanna each year will dramatically increase when Bernert Creek is brought back to flowing above ground. 339. More frequent maintenance at neighborhood parks (i.e., moss removal on sidewalks which is a safety concern when wet, more frequent clearance of storm damage and pruning, enforcement of leash laws and dog waste pickup. 340. Update and upgrade some of the indoor rec centers and also offer more because of the volatile fall and spring weather issues! 341. Provide more community facilities that promote recreation.

The community needs a turfed Softball complex like the baseball fields. 354. Daylight Bernert Creek in the White Oak Savanna. That will make it a truly natural space for observation and exploration. It will align the park with the efforts to add West Linn to the national memorial park with the Willamette River front area. 355. Better outreach to the community 356. N/A. 357. It would be nice to have a Community Center for all ages. Would also love to see a community fitness center with swimming pool but would settle for a Community Center that would provide space for group events, classes, etc. 358. You really do an amazing job! More open spaces and trails are always welcome. It would be very nice to finish the trails in West Linn and connect them so you can walk around entirely on the trails. 359. You could work to make more areas to access the willamette river. A public turf field. 360. It would be great to have an indoor facility for activities such as swimming, working out, etc. 361.

Appendix A: Summary of Open-ended Responses | 13 [If satisfactory, fair or poor] What could we do better? 367. Public swimming pool." 368.

Local pool for swimming, lessons, swim team, open swim, water aerobics, etc. Variety of lower priced fun or learning classes for kids of all ages. Classes for homeschoolers? 375. I would love a pool and a Zumba class 376. We need more indoor spaces for our kids to be able to play during the rainy months. A place that can contribute to our communities health year-round even. For such a well-off community the fact that we don't have a Rec center has always shocked me. 377. Have more of a web/app presence via fb or Nextdoor I.e. Disseminate information via these avenues. 378. Better musical guests at music in the park, Wednesday farmers market and at the fair. Many other surrounding city's such as Wilsonville and Oregon City have headliners. Why can't we? 379. Build a community pool! 380. Stop letting big open spaces of land get built upon for housing. It's sad to look and see that nice big areas of trees and greenery will be mowed down to put new houses in. Keep West Linn from turning into the next California. :( 381. A pool and indoor recreation center 382. Pools 383. At some of the parks, for instance Hammerle Park, there is a need for more picnic tables. Also many of the picnic tables are in shabby condition. I also think some of the trails in the West Linn loop have become too over grown. 384. Update comfort level of classrooms; kind of sterile 385. Really need a pool! Even a small pool! Spray parks aren't enough, although they are very nice. It's a shame we don't have a community pool for such a beautiful and affluent community. We love the summer concert series at Tanner Park! 386. I don't know of any indoor recreation facilities run by the parks, but there isn't an N/A or I don't know option so I picked satisfactory 387. There are no places to take children for activities during the rainy season, which is most of the year. While there are classes offered in the activities catalogue, there's nothing available to drop in like a community center for kids to burn energy. 388. Not sure if this falls under your purview, but I wish the summer market was held on Friday or the weekend like other Saturday/Farmer's Markets. 389. During summer camps, there appears to be a lack of pride in park appearance. They are left trashed. We are respectful of the environment and dispose of trash properly and expect that of the campers and leaders too. 390. Treat trails with bark/gravel so they are not so muddy during the wet season. 391. create more opportunities for our youth to do safe activities 392. Swimming pool 393.

A community center like SWCC or East P. CC. 404. We need an indoor recreation space and improved programs after school for youth 405. I can't think of many/any indoor recreation facilities. 406. Please enforce the encroachment on Burnside Park. Especially at Randel St. People are encroaching more each year and now have permanent structures set up on park property. Can these structures be taken down and restored to park area for the public? 407. Indoor rec center is missing from West linn. During winter and fall there is not much to do for kids in West linn. An indoor swimming pool, and gym would be great for west linn 408. We need a city swimming pool in West Linn. We need a YMCA or other large, family friendly indoor gym facility in West Linn. 409.

We need a rec center with more adult excercise options. 413. More family events. 414. A recreation center would be amazing.

Appendix A: Summary of Open-ended Responses | 15 [If satisfactory, fair or poor] What could we do better? 429. We were very unhappy to see the Fields home destroyed at Fields Park. Should of been maintained if for no other reason than historic. The Fields family operated the ferry over the Tualatin River before there was a bridge. 430. Indoor lap pool/ activities pool. Closest public pool for affordable swim lessons is Oregon City, which on a weeknight is very difficult to get to. 431. Stop destroying the outdoors by allowing contractors to buy forested areas and small houses and letting build more than one house on these lots. Repurpose empty buildings for community events like garage sales, pot lucks, reunions, concerts, classes 432. "True community center with drop in activities (e.g.basketball, board game night...). Wish we had a community pool for exercise. 433. Wilderness Park maintenance . More yoga classes." 434. A swim center would be nice. 435. Bring back the event banners to the willamette downtown area 436. More engaging events for youth to get involved with the city 437. While I understand West Linn is a smaller principality than Portland or Beaverton, it's shocking how limited the activities are for children and adults here. There needs to be public swim centers, with swimming lessons. 438. I would like to see guided naturalist walks at Mary S Young 439. I wish there was an indoor place I could take my kids on rainy days to burn off energy. It seems that the only things I can find are for older children, and always involve a multi-week commitment. I'd love to see an indoor playground, perhaps! 440. Relocate the community garden to another open space in the city 441. We need an indoor community center. Not sure what facility I was ranking above. Spend our money more wisely. Like what did it cost to put up steel barricades @ Oppenlander parking lot to keep people from doing cookies? 442. West Linn need a multi sport OUTDOOR facility for Football, Baseball, Softball, Soccer, Lacrosse, Rugby, Ultimate Frisbee. A 4-6 field oudtoor complex with rectangular fields that can also double as Baseball and Softball fields. 443. It might be nice to have more official patrols along trails in the parks, especially in the summer. 444. Provide more indoor activities for people because half the time it's raining and then there's nothing to do close by. But also when it is decent weather there aren't a lot of parks to choose from. 445. more environmental care and more programs for clean up 446. Enforce leash laws in parks 447. Lots of litter at parks in the woods. 448. Try less 449. A swimming pool 450. Add some cool shit like a water park 451. Provide more mountain bike access to trails 452. More field space. Community pool / community center 453. With all the rain, it would be great to have a Rec Center where kids could be active. Having more trails for walking or biking safely would be great.

It be a bonus if it had a pool. I picture SW Community Center of MJCC. These are wonderful gathering places for their communities. We really lack that in WL. 455. the all-grass baseball fields used by the younger-age kids are in desperate need of an upgrade. 456. Indoor recreational facilities seem to be limited. I am familar with basketball and volleyball, but not much other than that.

Need a recreation center. 459. Not build so many dense housing developments on natural habitats that support wildlife. Open and natural space is what makes West Linn so special, so it would be nice if you didn't develop every open space. 460. Not sure what we do, but indoor gym space is so full and the outdoor spaces are jammed too, especially the turf. I love how the fields are treated as community space other than the Rosemont softball field. No locks, wide open if not being used. 461. There's not a lot of indoor space for recreation. A facility for swimming or other recreational concepts would be great. Also, there's some curse words carved into the slides at North Willamette Park that should be removed. 462. At the very least, make it possible for any resident to get out and walk/move safely within West Linn. Trails accomplish this a little, but sidewalks from all parks to major gathering places in West Linn (dtwn Will to Fields Bridge Park),etc 463. More Recreational Fields 464. More turf fields and gym usage 465. It would be cool if there were more community based events like Portland has, like group bike rides or fairs. 466. More parks with play spaces 467. Build a swimming pool, for one 468. We seriously need an indoor place for families or individuals to be able to get together during the long long long winter months and during the summer for recreational activities. 469. The community needs an aquatic center! 470. A pool would be great. 471. Indoor sports facility needed, including pool 472. We would love a pool and recreation facility that defines West Linn. There are no locations that provide this and the SW Community Center is a wonderful example but it is too far. We need a place for our community to engage in sport, fitness $ health 473. Indoor community center would be great. 474. More indoor rec spaces might be nice. This might be nitpicking, but a better way for water to drain (so fields aren't so wet in some parks) would also be neat. 475. A community center for community events that isn't that expensive. Aquatic center, gym would be nice. 476. We need mtb paths 477. I'm not familiar with many indoor recreation facilities that are managed by parks and rec. The ones I think of our churches and/or community center. 478. Indoor facilities for sports, swimming 479. Do we have any indoor recreation facilities? We could use some of those for adults and kids. 480. A community recreation center (gym/pool) would be a wonderful addition. 481. A community center / pool / workout space would be great. 482. No comment! I feel the community of WL is wonderful.... I love the families and experiences available. 483. Our fields for most types of sporting events are embarrassing. They are constantly wet and of very poor quality, especially the non turf baseball fields. I coach both soccer and softball and WL facilities are the by far the worst. 484. We need a place where kids can gather and have kid fun. Not Chevron 485. Build a pool facility, expand library parking 486. Lighting for later use hours, larger facilities for more activities and nicer, busier concessions

Appendix A: Summary of Open-ended Responses | 17 [If satisfactory, fair or poor] What could we do better? 487. Provide a recreational basketball program for high school age kids who choose not to play high school basketball. WUSC offers a fantastic co-ed high school recreational soccer program and it brings so many high school kids together in a positive way. 488. Indoor pools and more turf soccer fields! 489. More youth activities in summer targeting 14-17 years of age 490. Sports fields could be taken care of better. 491. The parks and playgrounds and trails are amazing. There are so many to choose from. There aren't many indoor facilities but we don't want that here because it will bring more people. Things are pretty perfect! 492. Indoor areas 493. Unfortunately, there are not as many or as varied programs as I would like to see, or have seen in other areas. It would also be really wonderful if there was a swim program kids, particularly during the summer. 494. Sunset Fire Hall needs to be redone. It is terrible! The smell and the lack of cleanliness are ridiculous! 495. Improve field conditions (drainage) 496. Create indoor recreation facilities for families to use during the winter/wet season such as swimming pool. It's a shame that as rich as West Linn is, our city does not have an indoor swimming area or indoor facilities that kids and families can go t 497. I don't really go to those events, but I like the parks themselves, so improving your parks and outdoor facilities would be good. You could do a cool event with teens, but I don't know how that would turn out. 498. A faculty like Pool by Gabriel park. Kids need somewhere safe to go at night that is drug/alcohol/money free inside city limits. YMCA or BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB style facility. 499. I am still fairly new to West Linn but swimming pools seem to be needed? We are enjoying our first 8 months in the community and look forward to West Linn Parks and Rec growth. 500. Trails along the rivers connecting the various parks and the Arch bridge 501. For rec programs - more flexibility with scheduling. For working parents, having activities before 5pm is challenging. For working parents who want to participate in classes themselves, there are very few options that are in the evenings or on weeken 502. Access to indoor/outdoor pool and swim lessons. 503. I would like to see more parks/pocket parks and green spaces. 504. Other than school, no indoor rec facilities I am aware of. 505. West Linn needs an indoor pool/aquatic center. It's a shame the High School does not even have a pool. Also - West Linn needs more bike paths/lanes. 506. You guys are doing well with what we have. It does seem it is time for a community indoor pool, as well as a fitness facility for all ages. 507. Propose an aquatic center and create more bike paths and lanes around the city. The addition of a sidewalk to get up and down Pimlico and other hills would be great as well. 508. Bike path, sidewalk, and walking path connectivity is basically a joke in West Linn. You really cannot go anywhere safely. This is really awful and makes it impossible to go anywhere via non-car transportation. 509. Communication with citizens 510. Offer the same amount of field space to girls that you do to boys. It is 100% unfair the crap the girls are allotted for outdoor sports. Boys have 'reserved' the good fields, have Field's Bridge Park and still TAKE the girls fields when they want. 511. "we need more parks and protected open spaces 512. A city pool would be AMAZING." 513. More bicycle trails. Well-built mountain bike trails. Less giant parking lots. 514. Aquatic center 515. It would be great to have more indoor facilities for kids throughout the year as well as pool access to all families. There also seems to be more parks for very young kids, but fewer for older kids.

The softball fields also need A LOT of love. 550. indoor basketball courts are run down in some of the schools. it would be great to have a park that is fenced in so when taking small children I'm not worried about them running into the street. 551. Indoor basketball/gym facility and year round swimming pool

Appendix A: Summary of Open-ended Responses | 19 [If satisfactory, fair or poor] What could we do better? 552. We need more sports/activities/camps for teens/high schoolers during summer. These activities could be sport related or life skills that benefits the teens. Providing various volunteer services during summer is also needed for those teens. 553. City swimming pool and Rec center/ gym 554. Put in a pool 555. I am not aware of any indoor recreation facilities. I think that would be a nice addition to the community. 556. Swimming pool needed 557. Better park maintenance of neighborhood parks. 558. have a community center like Mt Park with fitness, event space, classes, child care similar to Gabriel park with the POOL!! 559. We need a rec center and activities for tweens; Willamette River trail; We are a city of hills. Stop trying to connect all areas; focus on making what we have exceptional destinations. Bike lanes on streets is a higher priority trails. 560. having indoor recreation would be awesome. People move to West Linn for their kids and the schools. The more we can do to support that the better. Thanks! 561. I am not aware of many indoor facilities for sports. I can't think of a tennis court, basketball court, racquetball area, or swimming place nearby. The only event space that I can name is the Sunset Fire Hall, which is old, creepy looking, and small. 562. "Is there an indoor rec facility in West Linn?? I would love for the city to provide an indoor swimming facility. 563. For outdoor areas, we need more/better off-lease dog parks. The Mary S. Young off lease area is extremely muddy most of the year." 564. Indoor swimming pool/recreation center for the long rainy winters. 565. Devise long term planning to create a consistent quality of service. Restructure communications to reach more residents of our community. Organize more volunteer events to concentrate on problem areas. Foster a sense of ownership within the community 566. "More classes/activities for youth. 567. Indoor recreation facility." 568. I would like to see an indoor facility that supports recreation (e.g, basketball, fitness). 569. My kids have really enjoyed your summer camps like fun in the sun. I would love to see more programs in the parks during summer like Gladstone does at max Patterson park. Or similar to the rec mobile program that north Clackamas has! 570. Cut the park grass more regularly, ensure each basketball hoop has a net, keep the dog bags full. 571. more designated trails for walking, running and biking with the family 572. Not sure, we've only lived here for 1 year. But I don't know that much about what's offered beyond stuff happening at Mary S Young. 573. I would like more female adult sports leagues in addition to weekly drop-in. 574. We need more indoor spaces for activities for children and adults 575. "promote car pooling for events where traffic and parking are an issue 576. Engage and get new blood into the ACC. Not very inviting to new comers. 577. Lower fees for rental of McLean House" 578. more bike paths 579. We appear to have more parks and recreation facilities than the city can adequately maintain with the available resources. The condition of our facilities are in a steady decline and the rate of increase in the decline is occurring at an increasing r 580. The parks are not all actively mowed & treated for weed control. Some locations do not have bags or garbage stations available for pet waste. Initiate an active weed control program for parks & start actively mowing.

20 | Draft Summary of Online Questionnaire

[If satisfactory, fair or poor] What could we do better? 581. Have at least one bathroom open in the winter time. 582. More activities for younger children. Mommy/daddy and child activities would be beneficial in socializing the little guys. 583. salt-water aquatic center in West Linn; more sidewalks in old 'hoods/on Salamo corridor to 10th Street; greener, 2400sqft houses on larger building lots so young families can buy under $450K and keep the community vital; more library hours 584. Would love to have a community pool, beach areas for kids to enjoy during the summer months, are more robust list of classes for both kids and adults, and indoor open gym hours for the kids to run around on cold, rainy days. 585. Years ago, there was talk of an actual community recreation center (with basketball courts, indoor swimming, etc.), but it never came to fruition. I would like to see something like that in West Linn. 586. I believe very strongly that there should be a swimming (indoor and outdoor) facility for citizens of West Linn ONLY. 587. Do more with less. 588. Listen to the residents. At the public hearing for the development of the "Marylhurst Heights" park, the overwhelming consensus was that the space should be left as-is. Unfortunately, the city had already paid a consultant to decide that our space s 589. Improve and extend trails. Encourage walking groups for all ages. 590. it is not easy to get to and from Willamette Park while on foot with a stroller; many sidewalks end in historic willamette abruptly; there is no walkway throughout the park for foot traffic or stroller; it is not very ADA accessible; 591. Develop a park on the property adjacent to Dollar St 592. We live in between Hammerly and Wilderness Park. We are eager to have the small park at the end of West A completed because there is no park that children in our area can walk to without crossing major streets. 593. Connect the trail on the west of MSY Park to the sidewalk along 43. Currently you have to walk with & against traffic to get from the north side of MSY to the park entrance. The trails in MSY are great, but access from our neighborhood is limited. 594. There are really no indoor facilities for individuals or families. 595. More trails and parks, tennis courts? 596. "Unaware of indoor rec, can't comment. 597. Although there are many trails and pathway choices, there are a lot of disconnected trails and walkways, especially along the Tualatin. Many side walks are inconsistent which could be fixed by filling gaps." 598. The city could provide a swimming venue. 599. We need a swim center in West Linn 600. I would like to see canopies over play areas so structures can be used year round by our kids. Dry during rainy seasons and cooler during the summer. We also need a cocovered seating area at midhill park . 601. There should be lights at the Fields Bridge ball parks, a flashing yellow by Fields Bridge as well, and the parking at both Fields Bridge and the Oppenheimer fields needs expansion. 602. Enhance the beauty of our water front on the Willamette River near the water falls. 603. Expanded support for dog parks would mean the world for many West Linn-ders. Additionally, many trails need additional upkeep and maintenance, particularly after the heavy precipitation of this past winter and spring. More activities for teenagers. 604. I would like to see more community events available for the whole family 605. An olympic indoor pool would be great--not one that includes an entire multi million dollar complex--just an olympic pool that would serve HS students and swim lessons, Sr. activities. You know, start basic and add on later if need be. 606. Desperately need a walking/biking/jogging trail from Willamette area to the Arch Bridge 607. Inclusion of special needs youth

Appendix A: Summary of Open-ended Responses | 21 [If satisfactory, fair or poor] What could we do better? 608. Provide a community rec. center that would include an indoor pool 609. Aquatics 610. "Better sidewalks leading to parks ( i.e. Hammerly park) 611. More off leash dog areas" 612. Don't know enough to say anything for certain but make sure upkeep is current. 613. Have more frequent community events. 614. Need a pool. Need a bike lane on Willamette Falls by Fields Bridge. 615. We need a community pool. 616. I wish there was more options for affordable indoor exercise, but then, I probably would find another excuse not to go....so my vote doesn't really count. 617. Local Community Pool 618. "I would enjoy more dog friendly areas. Another off leash area orday/times available at Mary S Young on trails for off leash dogs 619. Also would enjoy an indoor recreation place to go to during inclement weather. Swimming pool, fitness classes and such." 620. The bridge on the south side of Mary S Young has been out for months. The trail is closed and nothing is being done to repair it. If there is a reason for a delay, it would be nice to post the reason and the expected repair date. Thanks! 621. Would love to see the walk/bike trail from Willamette park to the falls completed. 622. community resource center with programs for all ages 623. PLEASE finish putting in the sidewalk along Rosemont Road the two blocks or so that it is short of meeting Summit. Finishing the sidewalk and adding crosswalk lines across to Summit would be a tremendous safety and life style improvement. 624. complete Robinwood Station and daylight the Savana Oaks stream 625. Swimming pool 626. Hammerle Park needs more maintenance. The playground equipment is aging, trees are rarely trimmed posing hazards for all (especially the young), the bathrooms are the worst I've ever seen, sidewalks are uneven for strollers, and the grass a mud pit. 627. I would really like to see at least an indoor public swimming facility in West Linn, preferably a facility with exercise equipment. 628. We would love to see a indoor, public pool in our area that could be used for swim teams, lessons and recreation. 629. Some of the parks and facilities are old and dated. Tanner Creek park is a good example of a newer park that provides services for many types of outdoor recreation. Unfortunately, parking is inadequate. 630. The planning process said a basketball hoop for residents to play pick-up basketball would go in at Marylhurst Heights park. That has not happened. Also, the park is supposed to be accessible with sidewalks on Valley View. 631. "1. Develop a full Recreation Community center complex serving multiple activities, ages, groups, classes, and neighborhoods. 632. 2. Swimming pool in cooperation with WL/W School district for management and funding. Develop a basic competitive/therapeu" 633. Unaware of any indoor recreation facilities. Advertise or create. 634. Connectivity of the community and access to outdoor recreation opportunities. 635. More, low prices classes/opportunities for kids.... indoor play/activity area for kids of all ages (not just under 6) year-round. Opportunies for homeschoolers and alternately educated kids under age 18. 636. We need a bicycle pump park. 637. Fix the drainage on the lower and middle athlete fields at MSY.

22 | Draft Summary of Online Questionnaire

[If satisfactory, fair or poor] What could we do better? 638. Where are the indoor recreation facilities? I guess I don't know about any. 639. "The latest months the parks are looking a lot cleaner which is very good. 640. At night, the parks need lights for safety reasons." 641. "Update parks, shelters, bathrooms, buildings 642. Build a community center with pool, activities, tennis, etc" 643. More community events and things for teenagers to do. Perhaps a pool in our future? Some neighborhoods have them, but they are expensive and limited. 644. "Great job maintaining outdoor parks. 645. Sell strange little pocket park on 43...useless. 646. This was an odd purchase to help a friend of a past mayor/council. 647. Use that money to enhance larger parks... such as the Oak Savanah or add to care of parks." 648. Manage the use and control of multi-use parks, like Fields Bridge Park, so that one program, such as baseball, doesn't extend way beyond what was originally envisioned and approved when the park was funded and built. 649. More involvement with the parks such as volunteers that would lead scheduled walks and talk a little on the flora, birds. Could be a 20 minute walk through a park and see what basic trees are there. Simple, easy, but inviting. More use, not overuse. 650. Provide drainage for the dog park somehow. 651. Not much... you folks do a great job with many volunteers from or city helping 652. General awareness of the parks ... education over the entire year (or at least summer) about locations, activities, etc. Maybe some history. I'll bet most folks are not aware of the excellent park sand trails we have. Maybe a few short video tours 653. Upkeep on the parks is not good. 654. Provide spaces and water resources for community gardens 655. "Indoor Rec facilities, especially, a swimming pool 656. More off-leash dog friendly parks" 657. With Sunset park having been voted away, that opportunity for youth and families to play/have activities together is no longer. We need a neighborhood park with water feature so we are on par with other neighborhoods. Should be first priority! 658. I grew up in East Portland at the time that Dorothea Lynch introduced "more than "bats and balls" to the Portland public parks charter. Every park had a community recreation center for card players, knitters, neighborhood birthday parties and a bab 659. Provide more off leash areas for people and their dogs. About a third of the homes in our neighborhood have dogs and we only have on 1 off leash area. 660. We could use more community areas. 661. More opportunities for off leash trails for dogs. 662. "- Move forward with plans for trail system (bike/pedestrian) along Willamette - ideally from Mary S. Young to Town Center/Willamette Park 663. - Build a recreation center vs. another housing development (I am thinking about the Salamo/Rosemont area)." 664. More trails and access to river and falls. More trails and bike paths linking willamette to Bolton. More view points to mountains, falls, and locks. 665. More trails and connectivity between parks. 666. Better control of parks. 667. Off leash dog park areas. This is a real way that neighbors meet one another and gather. 668. Community pool. Come on, folks. How many times do we need to ask? It's been in the works for 16 years, at least. It's ridiculous that our kids have to go to LO or OC to borrow pool privileges.

Appendix A: Summary of Open-ended Responses | 23 [If satisfactory, fair or poor] What could we do better? 669. "Would like to see more indoor and covered facilities that allow for wet-weather activity. 670. We love the outdoor concert series in the summer. Its a great use of our parks and fosters a sense of community. More please!" 671. I would love a community center/gym/pool!!! 672. "Some kind of indoor facility for young children to play during our many months of rainy weather. 673. Better upkeep of current parks including picnic tables, mowing more often, maintence of playground equipment, and adding to wood chips." 674. Better farmers market 675. Clearer signage on secondary pathways that are on right a ways that go between homes, behind homes. Better signage on main roads/sidewalks to indicate access points to trails and those out of the way pockets of open areas we're famous for. 676. a real community center for everyone with indoor pool .The hammerle park grounds is a mud pit & needs care. Putting features on trails in our parks that encourage loitering with kids & pets, i.e. benches, destroys wild plantings. Move to public space 677. Drainage at Mary S Young needs to be improved in order to provide athletic fields for local youth sports organizations. 678. "We need a swimming pool, not a high-end health club! 679. A pool with a general community room. A community pool used for summer fun, swim lessons, school swim teams, birthday parties, etc." 680. More adult programs. Rec soccer in particular. 681. The youth, especially middle school and high school age, of our city have no options for indoor recreation, outside of schools and WCC- which close late afternoons. Our youth need an indoor facility to use during 8- 9 inclement weather months. 682. I know this is a tough balance for mixed use, but parking to access the existing parks is a problem. Ex.- Joseph Fields baseball use limits availability for my use of the park. How much parking do you create at the risk of limiting park acreage? 683. Baseball fields particularly MSY and Hammerle could use an upgrade as could the tennis courts. 684. You could build a indoor pool in a new rec center. Seems weird that a community with so many kids and families and schools makes us drive to Oregon City or Lake Oswego for something so simple. 685. Cooperate with the police force in establishing a means to enforce leash laws to limit the use of park space by dog owners. All parks in West Linn are used by dog owners for off leash walking and training of their dogs. 686. Mow the grass regularly, it is way too long

A city pool available for all residents not just a few lucky ones that live up the hill. I believe a indoor or semi-cover play area, almost like a city park under cover would be a hit, we have so many rainy days in Oregon or in the summer when is really hot kids can't use the park equipment either because is hot, so a park with a cover or a indoor park would be awesome off leash dog areas 41. Toddler and mommy & toddler programs 42. I think smaller residences encourage people to be outdoors connecting with neighbors. Architectural development, zoning and new construction should reflect the contemporary sensibilities of future homeowners, including Gen X and Millenials. We don't want 5BR, 4Bath McMansions on postage stamp lots. We want connection, community and nature.

What events, classes and programs would you most like to see offered in West Linn? 491. I would love to have an indoor pool facility for swimming lessons. We currently drive to Tigard for weekly lessons. Just a pool though -- not a megastructure that would hike up property taxes. 492. I just read through this summers activities PDF and this looks to be an amazigly diverse selection of events and activities. Can't wait to partake. 493. I have wanted to do more classes and groups in the evenings close to where we live in Bolton. My husband and I both work and don't want to drive a long distance once we are home. I keep wondering why the Old Fire Station can't be used for such things 494. Swimming. I do not feel a Clackamas Water Park-type facility is needed (too costly and if someone wants that experience, they can travel to Clackamas), but an Olympic-size pool and a toddler pool would be a fantastic addition to the town. 495. "Climbing, Swimming 496. Volunteer programs that are offered to people who work..." 497. We need a park and rec pool like the one in Tualatin Hills (16 lanes). There are no choices for an indoor pool in West Linn. Neighboring pools are small and jammed packed. The West side of Portland needs a facility at the least. 498. Art camps, swimming lessons or swim club. 499. Swimming 500. community Swimming pool would be cool 501. Something for teens to do: movie theater, water sports etc. 502. Swimming classes.

Exercise programs for non athletic kids who need inspiration exposure to a variety of activities" 524. Any that would appeal to youth so they can have supervised activities after school and in summer. I'm not a parent, but it must be hard for working folks with kids to keep them occupied. Exercise and engaging activities are a benefit to us all. 525. Summer concerts

I would not expand in any direction. I would leave people do what they decide to do. I would try to discourage the community feeling altogether. I would support individuality of people. 537. Maybe kayaking lessons or tours on the Tualatin river? More walking/biking paths for sure. We have a son in a wheelchair, and when we get out we walk him. We have to walk in the street to get to Field's Bridge Park/Willamette park from our house. 538. Cooking, arts, sewing, basic workshop skills, mechanic skills, 539. A Community center with a pool and indoor sports. Check out Southwest Community Center on SW 45th and Vermont for an example. They combined a gym, pools and sports facilities. 540. I'm not really familiar with what we currently have. 541. Swim facility like Sherwood or Clackamas. 542. Indoor pool with fitness classes 543.

80 | Draft Summary of Online Questionnaire

What events, classes and programs would you most like to see offered in West Linn? 561. Adult soccer! 562.

A safe walking/biking route between Willamette and Bolton areas (without having to go over the hill). Also, a swimming pool would be great someday.

Indoor pool 16. lower congenstion on 43 and Willamette Falls Drive during rush hours 17. no comment 18. more green space 19. There should be a sidewalk all the way from fields bridge park into town. Dangerous having to walk in the very busy road 20. Clean up the dirty water 21. We need a pool and more parks 22. A good flat bike path would be great in WL 23. This question seems like an inappropriate special interest agenda item by a particular group or person 24. lights on baseball fields 25. Add view points between the parks overlooking the river. Consider additional water access between parks 26. Not knowledgeable of West Bridge Park 27. I wanted funding to build a rec place for families 28. Enhance area under 205 for more uses like limited parking and kayaking 29. variety of act with staff providing leadership and classes 30. Implement the plan to revise the intersection by the old police station and capitalize on Willamette Falls as a tourist attraction

Appendix A: Summary of Open-ended Responses | 81 Next, please tell us how the City should prioritize improvements in the future. If funding were available, which of the following facilities are the highest priorities for development or improvements in West Linn? 1. fix what we have 2. concrete ping pong tables 3. Indoor Tennis 4. Artificial turf field for 5 and 6 a side soccer 5. off leash TRAILS 6. Bike trails 7. Tennis 8. anything you do should be supporting by public transit access 9. Adequate restrooms in exsisting parks 10. Multi-purpose indoor community/rec center with indoor or outdoor pool 11. Neighborhood community centers 12. sidewalks on major roads 13. local community centers 14. Off-Leash forrest trails 15. Biking trail/path 16. Mountain-biking trails 17.

ADA accessible kayak/canoe launches at Cedaroak and Bernard's Landing 39. NO new taxes, bonds, levy, etc. etc. Run it like a business requiring profitability. Raising taxes is the LAZY way of paying for it. 40. Indoor gym space. It could be designed to be used as a party venue or a theater when needed. Think of WCC gym that is used for multiple purposes.

82 | Draft Summary of Online Questionnaire

If funding were available, which of the following facilities are the highest priorities for development or improvements in West Linn? 41. daylight the Bernert creek so it allows easy access in the Savanna Oaks park for visitors to observe nature as it once was in our area 42. forget the pool ideas, been there done that 43. Expand Mary s Young park activities to include playground, dog training course, and more of Leash dog areas 44. would love to see bikes allowed on the path that connects to Lucher. Great path to provide a safe family friendly access to LO. 45. Ice Arena 46. Restore Old Bolton Firehouse to Community use. Day light Bernert Creek 47. Mountain bike trails 48. Sidewalks on all streets 49. Sports fields: Lacrosse/Soccer 50. multi use path to OC from willamette park 51. NOTHING! NO POOL especially. You've already studied that and we don't want to pay for it. 52. Archery range, possibly at Clark St access into Wilderness Park 53. iking and wildlife appreciation. Less taxes on residents.More Nature Parks for h 54. none of the above (less is more!) 55. just buy up more land when you have the chance. improvements can come later 56. community meeting buildings example Robinwood Station 57. Extend the new willamette park trail to oregon city bridge 58. Multi-purpose indoor community/recreation center, Swimming area or pool (outdoor) 59. Increase park area near Fields Park 60. I had other things in mind for the rec center as well. 61. Develop our side of Willamette Falls for tourism 62. Off-leash dog area, but not a dog park. 63. fix the streets first 64. Separate sports park 65. Safe bike/ped pathway connecting Bolton area with Willamette area

What other way(s) should the City of West Linn direct its resources if pursuing a future tax measure? 1. No more taxes, other ways to fund, seniors in community can't afford it 2. Fix or return to nature the sites already in place. The "parks" are junk. Over cut, back filled and flooded. No maintenance. The sidewalks, basketball court and patio areas are sliding down hill. 3. Finish the path between Bolton and Willamette 4. Please maintain the existing sports fields. It's very difficult to support children growing in athletic abilities with their poorly maintained fields. 5. Only to acquire land for indoor activities unique within a 20minute drive radius. Every town doesn't need its own everything, but we don't want to have to drive 20-30 minutes for activities. 6. Fitness center with a pool 7. New recreation center with aquatic facility. 8. More beach/river access 9. Street repair and street cleaning.

Appendix A: Summary of Open-ended Responses | 83 What other way(s) should the City of West Linn direct its resources if pursuing a future tax measure? 10. New aquatic facility is needed. We are the only town that has to go next door for swimming facilities or pay huge amounts for private pools. 11. Fundraising, sponsorship, partnerships with local businesses/artists/community members. 12. Parking facilities at Tanner creek and Mary s young. 13. Disc golf course. Swimming pool(s). 14. nothing specific 15. More outdoor turf fields! 16. public-private partnerships 17. vague question. 18. Aquatic park and street repair 19. Bike paths/facilities both on and off street. 20. Better bike/pedestrian paths along route 43. 21. please don't 22. OTHER WAYS SHOULD BE FOUND TO REDUCE THE COST OF THE CITY'S PARKS AND RECREATION BUDGET. THE PARKS DEPT. TAKES TOO MUCH OF THE CITY'S REVENUES. TOO MANY PROGRAMS ARE OFFERED. THE CITY SUBSIDIZES TOO MANY SPORTS GROUPS. MAKE THEM PAY MORE 23. Streets are getting very bad with auto traffic because so many people have moved into the city: WF Drive is very bad beginning late afternoon (e.g. between Hidden Springs and West Linn Library!); Need public (or shuttle) buses to reach above hill. 24. We don't need additional taxes, we already pay a "TAX" on our water bill that we never voted on for the parks. Maybe fewer employees standing around that we have to pay PERS for. 25. Don't be afraid to assess use fees rather than putting the tax burden on those that don't use the facilities. 26. Don't build a West Linn Aquatic Center. This is a money loser. Instead, pursue a joint effort with Lake Oswego, Oregon City, Gladstone or Tualatin. 27. No more taxes, live within your means. Use resources to acquire government funding. 28. Preserving open space. City is overbuilding and will become crowded and undesirable like the Westside. 29. Create mountain bike specific trails. 30. Maintaining Mary S. Young. Also developing a mountain bike trail system for families to enjoy with an option for a challenging loop similar Sandy Ridge trail system. 31. Fees for usage 32. Give us a pool! 33. To better utilize the river offer storage/moorage facilities 34. Mountain biking trails and/or a pump track 35. Cut back on other taxes and bond measures. West Linn has too many taxes and bond measures already. 36. An aquatic center should definitely be the highest priority. It fills the largest gap in services. We don't need more parks, it's ridiculous how many parks we have here. It's time to diversify a little bit. Please no more barely used splash pads. 37. I really feel like it would be nice to have an indoor rec center/pool so we could have more opportunities for indoor recreation, swimming lessons, etc. The money that parents spend in other communities for these things could be used by our own city. 38. Purchase acreage for preservation of native plants and animals. Think of Tryon Creek State Park -- that's a very successful area that offers habitat for wild species despite encroaching (sub)urban development. 39. Having a public aquatic facility is critical - there are no gyms close by that offer an indoor swimming experience and the closest indoor public facility does not consider west linn residents members and it is over crowded for family swim times. 40. None. Our taxes are high enough

84 | Draft Summary of Online Questionnaire

What other way(s) should the City of West Linn direct its resources if pursuing a future tax measure? 41. Taking proper care of existing park land and enhancing trails and bike paths should be the priorities. 42. not sure 43. Benches and covers at bus stops. 44. Charge for PARKING for non-residents at City run facilities such as boat launches. Increase fees to the sports clubs that use the parks since they tend use the fields the most. Increase usage fees to non-residents to match neighboring towns. 45. Invest in more for infrastructure and businesses for restaurants and bars similar to downtown Oregon City on hwy 43 46. Access to river 47. Hiking trails along river 48. Supporting small businesses 49. "Connectivity among Parks's for extended walking trails. 50. Larger parks, maybe expand existing park where possible. 51. Daylight Bernert creek in white oak savannah park." 52. No comment here. 53. It would be nice if the city would better utilize the existing land / buildings to prove to the citizens of West Linn that paying more taxes will provide more services and not be used to help with the UNDERFUNDED PERS situation. 54. Be responsible and accountable to the P&L statement and balance sheet through good management practices just like any other "for profit" business? You know it can be done if the organization isn't afraid of hard work and responsibility. 55. Preserving the scant remaining natural areas 56. City of West Line collects enough taxes already. Be better stewards of the funds we already have unless there are plans to build a community center for all ages and/or aquatic facilities. 57. Fixing our roads 58. I'm a big supporter of a Riverfront park and more natural spaces/trails. 59. My property taxes are too high now! Where is the money going? 60. More interesting designs of trails and equipment and more senior and youth workout equipment around parks. 61. Bond funding. 62. Public Aquatic Facility - for swimming not just spray parks! 63. Protected bike paths away from heavy traffic roads and consider a bicycle lift like the one in Trondheim to help bikers get up some of our steep hills! That would be awesome. 64. Improve roads and add some traffic lights. 65. Ice Arena...you would bring in lots of funding since Sherwood/Beaverton are the only options 66. Pools 67. N/A. I still support an aquatic facility the most. 68. Not sure. 69. Maintenance on existing nature trails is weak, for example, trail access into North Willamette Park at bridge section. It's difficult to get Police enforcement of leash code and alcohol/drug codes at Burnside and North Willamette. 70. ? 71. REALLY in need of an indoor multipurpose facility for court sports, classes, and education. And more safe walking, hiking, biking trails would be ideal! 72. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE....Develop the Mill Street area. If you want to look up an example look at Winter Garden, Florida, they did an area like that and it completely revitalized that city.

Appendix A: Summary of Open-ended Responses | 85 What other way(s) should the City of West Linn direct its resources if pursuing a future tax measure? 73. Direct some resources towards safe pedestrian/bike paths along some streets. 74. Be mindful of spending of tax dollars. We pay a lot of taxes in general, and would like it to be spent wisely. 75. Better parking around field bridge park. It is dangerous when people park along Willamette falls drive 76. Add more green and efficient aspects to things like solar panel parking covers for parking lots 77. More bike trails. It reduces traffic and pollution. 78. We are taxed enough as it is. But a possible Pedestrian/Bicycle bridge connecting West Linn with Oregon City has some real appeal. If it was located past the Arch Bridge with views of Willamette Falls, it may be a great addition to other trails. 79. I do not see a need for increasing revenues. Instead, city residents would benefit more if park related costs were minimized and human impact on natural areas reduced. Funds available should be used to acquire and preserve natural areas throughout. 80. Idk 81. We already have beautiful parks. If I was to support more parks it would be in an effort to keep the city from building and expanding more 82. Focus on maintaining the existing parks first, if we have the money, then we should expand the parks 83. Lights on Field Bridge and Oppendlander. Level outfield at Oppendlander Sr field, and add score board. 84. Build more parks on the river 85. INDOOR POOLS AND WATERFRONT RECREATION 86. I would like to see the quite frankly ugly signs replaced that welcome people into West Linn when they first enter, and replace them with newer more attractive signs. 87. Create a long term bond paired with a long term plan for maintaining our resources. 88. Biking and walking access outdoors is my number one priority. 89. If you build it, they will come -- so make sure whatever it is creates short- and long-term jobs and supports our local economy 90. Bike lanes on Highway 43 91. keeping it up and improving 92. Based upon this and other surveys, determine the highest level of support from the population (assuming no emergencies) and pursue that aspect. 93. I'm not sure 94. Our family supports a tax for an aquatic center, but not a membership fee to join once constructed. Everyone should be able to use the facility if we're paying taxes for it. 95. Not a giant aquatic center just an Olympic pool indoors 96. "No new taxes 97. My water bill tripled in 11 years" 98. We need to maintain what we have before we obtain or create more that we need to maintain. Park brush is unkempt, tennis courts are poorly up-kept, restrooms are marginally maintained, and park strips/islands throughout west linn are overgrown. 99. I think the City of West Linn is already squeezing as much money out of us as possible. I have to work like a mule now in order to pay my extremely high property taxes so I don't have time to use any of these facilities. They serve some other people 100. Improvement of the library, building out of facilities to include a space for community theatre 101. Daylighting Bernert Creek 102. Is there a way to lessen the bureaucracy involved in USING a WL Park? Remembering my childhood in Portland....Mt. Scott Park was just down the street ...like my own back yard! No forms, no deposits, no reservations, "Consider Yourself at Home" 103. Improving highway 43 between 205 and Lake Oswego. Providing bike/walking trails and viewpoints connecting Arch Bridge and Willamette Park. Build a park at the locks.

86 | Draft Summary of Online Questionnaire

What other way(s) should the City of West Linn direct its resources if pursuing a future tax measure? 104. Indoor aquatic facility 105. recreation/community center 106. Keep youth programs going. Create a bike/ped pathway that is safe for kids/adults around the entire city. 107. It's important to maintain and improve the facilities and parks that we currently have, while setting a side parks and green space in newly developing areas.

Do you have any final thoughts you would like to share about parks and recreation in West Linn? 1. "I myself would like to have a map that would show launching and parking sites of the Clackamas (sp?) River for kayaks and canoes. 2. I enjoy just paddling and site seeing in tranquill waters for pleasure and exercise. At my age and health it's a plus." 3. I think West Linn has a good varity, except for aquatic opportunities, but we are running out of space too many houses being built 4. I told the city they were making a mistake when they planned this park on Upper Midhill. It is a wreck. The whole thing is sliding downhill. 5. Don't by anymore pocket parks. Huge waste of money to tear down the old house. It should have stayed with the county. 6. I would love a swimming option for our family! 7. "I help run an outdoor ping pong table company here in Portland. More and more city parks are implementing these concrete tables nationwide. You guys should look into them. 8. https://bestoutdoorpingpongtables.com/concrete-ping-pong-tables/" 9. You guys do a great job! 10. We need a pool and indoor Rec center 11. West Linn needs more support for youth girls athletics. 12. New pool. It's time 13. We have an amazing resource in the Willamette River and those parks that are nearby. I'd love to see a path or some kind of access for running, biking and river access that went from park to park (Fields Bridge to Willamette Park?). 14. West Linn parks are amazing! It's sad that we must travel to neighboring cities for swim safety. 15. I would support a community swimming pool. But not a bells-and-whistles "aquatic center." 16. I would like to see better maintenace of what we have. We have a fairly new park and watched all the planting going on etc...and was surprised by the waste...plants and trees that died waiting to be planted..rose bushes that are thorny in a kid area 17. Doing a pretty good job with what you have. Do not cut maintenance and then ask for a bond in 10 years because you failed to maintain facilities. 18. Please offer a non-faith-based recreation center alternative for our youth and community. There is also a lot of support for an indoor swimming facility within West Linn! 19. Need a fitness center with a pool 20. West Linn great potential along the river. 21. Add park service project days each month not just for ivy pulls. I'd love to see Wilderness Park have a good mulched trail along Clark to Skyline and the parking lot cleared of storage and signage planted out with art pieces in the park. 22. Parking at Fields Bridge park is a dangerous issue. There has to be something done to ensure the safety of our citizens and visitors. This is a huge issue and resources should be utilized to remedy this ASAP. It's not acceptable to simply leave as. 23. "I am overall happy with them. I do a lot of walking and hiking here. I also take my kids to hike, play at parks, etc. there's adequate activities but room for improvement.

Appendix A: Summary of Open-ended Responses | 87 Do you have any final thoughts you would like to share about parks and recreation in West Linn? 24. Improving walkability would be a great thing along 43!" 25. We really enjoy West Linn Rec Basketball for the kids. Very well done. I would like to see an indoor tennis facility or at least classes offered outdoors in the summer. I also think the city would benefit from an indoor/outdoor aquatic facility. 26. Good job Ken 27. Just repeating that the skateboard park bring too much trash to our trails, vandalism, and noise nuisance levels....so would not support another park that brings the same problems. 28. Love the parks, I live next door to MS Young but no longer go there due to the off leash problem. 29. We need a pool. It is a critical life skill. Right now we have no facility for our kids to learn to swim. 30. West Linn is very sports oriented, I'd like to see more imaginative play areas for children and cultural activities for adults. 31. Would also love improved pedestrian and biking paths, especially along willamette falls drive and hwy 43. Would also enjoy more community and school gardens! Should have school garden position available from city 32. Take care of parks already owned before purchasing more parking land. 33. I wish there were more bike lanes. So many of the roads by my house are unsafe for bikers. 34. The ODOT land off of I-205 has enough vertical to make an incredible mountain bike skills park that could make West Linn a destination park instead of an afterthought! 35. We definitely need a public pool. Other than that, love it here. Great place to raise kids. 36. More youth programs offered in summer time. Like basketball camps. Not the sporty shorty ones. Camps that teach skill instead of just fun games. You need more camps for under age 4. 37. We definitely need more sports fields, specifically for girls lacrosse. 38. I think there should be more communication. Whether it be via Facebook, Nextdoor, Twitter or otherwise. 39. I think the parks we have are great and the city is doing a great job maintaining them. We pay very high taxes here and the schools/community make that very worthwhile. I do not want to pay even greater taxes for pools or rec buildings Little used 40. Increase the quality of team sports facilities and become a destination for growing youth teamsports. These activities naturally dovetail with WL Schools and ultimately increases the livability and value of the community. 41. "We live in a wonderful city which is fortunate to have multiple open park spaces. 42. I appreciate the more recent work done to Robinwood Park as it turned that particular park around to make it an enjoyable space for families, wanting to see more!" 43. Apart from the adult leagues, you are doing great work 44. We have a lot of outdoor space, green space. I don't believe we need to spend more money on more green space. We should be conserving resources to help support indoor recreation space and arts community space. 45. I think overall, the Parks and Rec in West Linn is great, and residents are very fortunate to have access to the facilities and programs that we have. 46. nice job! 47. Staff doing great work with limited resources 48. We love West Linn parks! It'd be great if the North Willamette tennis were maintained (even a 1 time power wash would get all of the dirt from the rains away). Also, there's cuss words in the slides that need to be removed. 49. The Robinwood Station is an existing city building be run and maintained by an all volunteer group. It needs a few renovations and so that it can be improved and become an even better resource in the neighborhood than it already is. 50. I appreciate that trails are well maintained and kept generally clean. I do wish there were some benches along the trails for older folks like myself. I get tired and often wish I could sit down and rest somewhere, perhaps in a shade.

88 | Draft Summary of Online Questionnaire

Do you have any final thoughts you would like to share about parks and recreation in West Linn? 51. Would like to see programs for the middle adult age ranges 52. I'd like to have the city of West Linn connected with side walks & bicycle paths. 53. I support making West Linn more connective through its trails program. Also make the City more bike friendly with designated bike trails. I enjoy the summer concert series, and urge its continuation. 54. "Selling of and the destruction of sunset park should have never occured. 55. Lack of leadership by parks director, helped to destroy the sunset neghboorhood" 56. I do not want an aquatic center that is geared to play or tourists with slides and such. I want to see a pool for school and community swim teams and other swim lessons and exercise. 57. Due to very wet conditions for much of the year, a dryer clean place for dogs to run off-leash would be great and somewhere more central in West Linn. Dogs need to run as much as kids do. 58. West Linn has beautiful parks. 59. overall my grade is B 60. The volunteers at MSY work so hard. It would be nice for them to have more support from the city year- round. 61. Thanks for sending out this survey. 62. For the fabled rec center, include swimming and an ice rink. 63. Backyard certification, native plants, and invasive species control 64. Plenty of parks but few true gathering areas. Look at not just parks but outdoor spaces like George Rdogers park in LO. It has all components well tied together. Also increase facilities for rain or inclimate weather 65. Would like to see us taking care of what we have. 66. I think a bike walking path along the Willamette River, off of the busy WFD would be excellent. OC is upgrading their waterfront by the falls, can't we get involved too? Please focus on clearing the beautiful streams in West Linn of invasives. 67. West Linn needs to stay out of the business of trying to run a business...... buildings are a one time budget item, multiples years of managers, employees, maintenance, insurance, utilities, etc never get put into real costs of projects. 68. More toddler/youth/family programs on weekends please!! 69. I think the weak parks and rec offerings is a lot of the reason families move out of West Linn. If I were to move again there is nothing to motivate me to stay. My kids are grown and you need more than your school scores to keep people here. 70. "West Linn has a great Parks system and really good walking trails in town, not just in the parks. 71. I wish the Summer concerts were more intimate and not so noisy. Perhaps some acoustic performers. Maybe in areas without electricity." 72. Thank you for the job you do. We love our parks. 73. I recently moved into a home near Palomino Park. My grandchildren (ages 4 and 6) would like to request that a play structure be added for older children. In addition, it would be nice to have a path to the current play structure. 74. I am impressed by the outdoor park options. What I feel is lacking in WL is shared community spaces that allow for both indoor and outdoor recreation. Connectivity between parks and neighborhoods is also important. Would love WL to be walkable!! 75. Build a pool/fitness center and partner with someone or create a non-profit to run it. 76. West Linn has great parks! Keep it up. 77. I am so happy we moved here - the parks are beautiful and well maintained. 78. The White Oak Savanna should be listed as an option for favorite park. Thank you. 79. More access pints to water for fishing 80. This is one of the perks of living in West Linn and I would like to see further investment and development in these quality of life services. Thanks for all that you do!

Appendix A: Summary of Open-ended Responses | 89 Do you have any final thoughts you would like to share about parks and recreation in West Linn? 81. Keep up the maintenance in the parks you have. Many nice parks but with limited funding need to take care of existing before thinking of adding more parks. Fields Br. Park needs some trail maintenance and shoreline protection. 82. We need more spaces for community gathering other than schools and day cares. We offer Spanish for kids in primary but not for toddlers. This is an important time for kids to pick things up. A indoor swimming facility and rec center is a MUST. Thanks 83. "I appreciate long term staff, parks and opportunities. 84. Maybe ask again if community supports a community pool..." 85. "Our neighborhood is largely made up of condos with no personal outdoor space. Although we have pools, there is no 86. garden space or off-leash opportunities for dogs. Neighbors have worked hard to maintain the paths leading to 87. North Willamette Park." 88. Legitimize the Robinwood Station and contribute funding for improvements. Encourage the volunteers to continue pursuing activities and events at this location. 89. FIELDS BRIDGE PARK IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTER. ALSO, THE TRAFFIC SITUATION AT FIELDS BRIDGE PARK IS DANGEROUS. THE PARK CANNOT SUSTAIN SUCH HEAVY USE BY THE WEST LINN BASEBALL ASSOCIATION. 90. More outside Tennis/Pickleball courts and resurfacing of Tanner Creek courts would be nice. 91. They need to be better lit at night. 92. I love our parks. Easier access for kayaking in different locations would be great. Easier access TO the parks - despite living on Snidow Drive, lack of a contiguous sidewalk to Fields Br Pk or Will Park kept my kids from ever going alone. 93. West linn parks does a great job with the staff on hand! I am greatful to live in such a great community that has so many different optuons to explore tha outdoors in a safe environment. Thank you for all the hard work. 94. NO "aquatic center" (or swimming pool component in a "multi-purpose recreation center"). 95. Having the parks/open spaces is a boon to living here. Being able to take our dog to these nature areas is so important. We need bike paths and walking areas. Mary S Young is special. I would put my tax dollars toward repairing the recent damage. 96. Areas of traffic that are VERY bad and/or roads need fixing: WF Drive, residential intersections like Bridgeport Elementary, people driving too fast like down/up Hidden Springs, need more food markets, store businesses and centers, too many homes. 97. I hope West Linn's development of the Blue Heron property will emphasize nature and ecology 98. Hwy 43 is West Linn's front door, the most important way that out-of-towners passing through judge the livability of our community. Thus, it affects our growth, our property resale values, our image. Do things that make 43 beautiful. 99. Thanks for asking us! 100. I would like to pave the path at the end of Mapleton into Mary Young Park to connect the path to the road for biking and wheel chair access. 101. One of the reasons we moved from NE Portland in 2008 was not only for the schools but the access to the library and parks. What we have found is that we use those frequently, but could definitely use an outdoor/indoor swimming facility. 102. The availability of technical trails here is amazing I love the parks - our local benski could use a little attention we've lost 3 structures recently. But when the rains hit the options disappear indoor options should be high on the priority list. 103. Sandy beach area fpr sun and swim like in lake oswego george rogers park. Maybe willamette beach park in historic willamette? 104. Support improvement of Robinwood Station, a local community center that is serving the needs of not just the neighborhood, but others within and outside of West Linn for a variety of programs and uses.

Do you have any final thoughts you would like to share about parks and recreation in West Linn? 105. Keep up the good work! I love hiking in our parks. 106. Thank you for all work you do, the parks are great! 107. Thanks so much for asking for our input! 108. Very good relative to most of the surrounding cities. Let's just don't keep piling tax on top of tax on top of more tax. My $20K/year property tax burden is excessive already. 109. The seniors need pickleball facilities. 110. "1. palomino park needs more play equipment for kids and a walking path from palomino to the path that leads to clubhouse ct. 111. 2. west linn needs a pool (indoor at the very least) and a rec center thanks!" 112. I appreciate that you are taking time to engage citizens. Thank you. 113. Create mountain bike specific trails, and a pump track for bikes.... Promise you it would be incredibly popular for all ages. 114. "West linn needs an indoor pool and receive center. 115. Many smaller cities have them. 116. Why don't we??" 117. The natural open spaces and beautiful trails add so much value to our city, both in quality of life and property. Please make these a top priority. 118. They parks and recreation in West Linn is why I chose this city. I would support a tax measure that ensures we stay surrounding by parks and natural spaces, not the development of more buildings and pavement. 119. WL has amazing and dedicated volunteers that I don't believe get all the support they need to keep trails open and passable. Not sure what the full time workers parks workers do. 120. West Linn needs an indoor swimming pool!!! 121. No new taxes! 122. "The pursuit of yet another ""Top of the Hill"" mega church facility, the ""Aquatic Center without the water"" is ill -advised. 123. The future is not about getting in a car and driving, it is about walking and biking to neighborhood centers. 124. Repair what is." 125. We have a valuable resource in our natural areas here in West Linn and we should be doing a better job of taking care of them by removing the invasive plants and restoring the land to its native state. 126. The only comments I have are that we should support/represent all of west linn'ers not just a select few. We should also focus/prioritize on the most pressing of issues first rather than the glittery or extra things first. 127. I would love to see park assistants available with equipment check out at Tanner. Make it a place for the RRMS kids to hang out afterschool. 128. 45 years & still NO POOL! How long will it take?? 129. The parks in this city are beautiful, clean and safe, but please give us a pool. 130. none 131. Do a great job. 132. I love WEST LINN! 133. Continue to support the Clock Repair class offered through adult education. That class has been continuous for more than thirty years, although previously in Tualatin I believe, and is a unique resource for a changing but continuous group. 134. The city is doing a great job with parks overall and appreciate that there are 3 near my house (Fields Bridge, Oak Savanna, and Willamette). I'm not sure if we need to create more activities - I appreciate them as natural and open areas. 135. The parks we have are wonderful but need to be kept up so they are beautiful and represent West Linn as a caring community. I wonder how a small dog park would be accepted? There are none in the Willamette area where a dog can be off leash.

Appendix A: Summary of Open-ended Responses | 91 Do you have any final thoughts you would like to share about parks and recreation in West Linn? 136. Love the events you put on. Have had great experiences with the sports leagues in general. There seems to be no public gym space available for things like adult sports leagues, individual practice, team practices, etc. Also missing a public pool. 137. Swimming and the Arts, if we can tackle these it'll make West Linn far more attractive as a community. Beaverton really kills us in the Parks and Rec area, look to them as an example. Although with our resources we should be able to do better. 138. Mary S Young is wonderful, mainly due to the volunteers. It would be nice if the soccer parents actually followed the parking rules and didn't block traffic 139. I like the variety of parks west linn offers. More walking/biking trails would be nice 140. We are all so fortunate to live in a place of such abundant natural beauty. I see too many trees that are cut down without a thought, as they get in the way of the developers. 141. The development of an indoor/outdoor community pool with swim lessons and recreational swim options would greatly enhance our community! 142. Thanks for all you do! 143. I love West Linn parks and rec, and think they do an excellent job with what is available. The summer is amazing in this community. It would be nice to have a facility that could offer those kinds of awesome things year-round. 144. I don't understand why there's such a nice facility for seniors (the adult community center) and hardly anything like that for children!!! 145. I think the current budget is doing well it appears to maintain the parks, so I don't see the need for addl funding there. 146. More dog-friendly, off-leash venues. 147. We need an aquatic park/indoor water option in West Linn. 148. Protect wildlife and habitats. Steer trails around such areas. Limit asphalt and make trails natural. 149. We would love to see more indoor facilities to accommodate the kids after school. 150. If possible, I think safe (not a lot of road traffic) bike trails for families with kids would be wonderful. 151. Consider building/extending a trail between Willamette Park and Fields Bridge Park 152. Very good job on the parks in my neighborhood which I use a lot. I especially like things like the woods trail between Marylhurst Hts Park and Carriage Way. Getting off busy streets is a priority for me. 153. Generally I think parks and recreation is doing a great job 154. I love the summer programs offered through West Linn and like I stated before, my son participated in the summer day camps for three years. I'd like to see the option for a camp for ages 6-9 where he'd actually make friends. 155. Aquatic Center 156. We need an aquatics facility 157. This city is becoming increasingly populated, especially the last 2 years! I am concerned for the wildlife as greedy developers seem to be able to do whatever they want ($$$). A focus on the needs of all the people which would include oh no room left 158. Park & Rec department does a great job!!! 159. Build the pool first. Get it running then add a gym, rec center community center etc. as demand and finances seems fit. You tried to float the whole rec center idea last time and it didn't work. Start small. 160. I think that the older parks like Robinwood and hammerle need more benches and tables. Robinwood feels like it could be nicer if there was a shelter like at Marylhurst. 161. We would love to have a recreation center/fitness center/YMCA style with a POOL! 162. I think a little more effort on the year round family events (holiday parades, tree lighting, etc.) would entice people to want to return year after year. As it stands they are not that exciting so it become a been there done that type of event. 163. Willamette Park - One of the heaviest used parks in West Linn - needs sprucing up! Please :) Wood shelters/gazebo needs a facelift. PLEASE - Thank you :)

Do you have any final thoughts you would like to share about parks and recreation in West Linn? 164. Ken, I think you owe me an apology for calling my home after a catastrophic Monday for me at WLACC! I served faithfully on the board and otherwise for over 3 years! The art debacle that occurred could have been prevented with a simple phone call! 165. Aquatic park would be amazing, cater to young families!!!!!! 166. There are plenty of parks/facilities in West Linn and the parks tax has risen almost yearly since we moved here. Most people living on the river oppose a path behind their house because of litter, vandalizing and uncontrolled dogs evident elsewhere. 167. No. Thank you for the opportunity to provide input. 168. More off leash dog areas would be nice. 169. Thank you for sending out this survey! 170. Keep reminding WL residents of the activities available thru the City's web site, ie, use a monthly email to remind residents of what is available. Keep up the good work! 171. we really need more teen and young adult activity options and a fenced dog park. 172. Overall I am happy with the offerings West Linn has. I would be willing to pay higher taxes to pay for an indoor aquatic facility for West Linn residents. 173. Aquatics!! 174. If you are going to propose taxes, make sure they are properly audited. I don't want tax dollars squandered or redirected to pet projects like many government entities seem to do around here (city, state, etc.) Mistrustful of waste/corruption in gov. 175. Thank you for everything you are doing. 176. We love concerts in the park during the summer months. It would be great to allow residents to submit or select from bands for the event. This could be done well in advance of the first concert. 177. Although the city is missing an aquatic facility and/or a community center for multi generations, overall I feel that the city offers some great parks and community activities that we have enjoyed immensely. 178. Love my community. Can't imagine an increased density if Stanford Triangle is made part of Urban Growth Boundary. 179. The off leash dog area at Mary S. Young has been sadly neglected and has needlessly turned into a muddy mess. With all of the chips available there is no excuse to let the paths deteriorate like they have. In addition, improved drainage is needed. 180. Enforce the leash law...too many allow their dogs to run free. Enclose the off leash area at Mary S Young Dog Park 181. Thank you. We and our grandson appreciate all the wonderful parks in West Linn. My answers to this survey were primarily based on what activities we like to do with him. 182. I love West Linn parks. They provide a good balance between nature and other activities. I would like to see more efforts at land acquisition in undeveloped areas and rights of way along the rivers. Also, we should consider adding more trails. 183. Cannot emphasize enough how desperately West Linn needs an indoor pool and recreation facility! 184. We have great parks, keep up the great work! 185. Many parents want a pool. When voting happened a few years back, I have 2 young kids and newborn and didn't get out to vote. From hearing from other parents, they were in a similar situation. 186. Cost seems pretty high at present. I am not convinced all the $ actually goes to parks. City seems obsessed with idea of a river trail at any cost. They should look today at the river levels and see that a trail is not viable during the winter. 187. WE have a lot of riverfront, Yet, very little opportunity to launch kayaks, canoes, paddle boards. West Bridge, Willamette, Cedar Oak can be made more paddler friendly. Robinwood citizens have been faithful to Robinwood Station, help the station. 188. For a very upscale suburb, we seem to always go the cheap, short term way. For example, the new Santa Anita plantings that don't have a watering source, and flower baskets that are not watered and die mid summer. Even Oregon City does better than us.

Appendix A: Summary of Open-ended Responses | 93 Do you have any final thoughts you would like to share about parks and recreation in West Linn? 189. Keep up the good work 190. We live in willamette because we love the park and river access!!! 191. Plan and build for the future. If we build a community center/recreation center it should house an indoor/outdoor pool. Make sure we purchase enough land now & don't make the mistake made for the schools. 192. I have mentioned archery in a few of my answers. My issue is that I cannot go to an open space and set up a target on my own - I have been told the police would not allow it. I am hoping a space can be set up that is safe and allowed. 193. Remove all park fees from the water bill and instead allow voter approved taxes ONLY or use fees for funding of parks. These fees are NOT voter approved and therefore NOT the will of the people. Put the power back into the hands of the residents. 194. Our "neighborhood" park is Fields Bridge. We love the variety it offers.The grandkids enjoy the playground and baseball field, we all enjoy the paths, watching baseball Games & playing on the field,etc. It would be nice to have a few picnic tables! 195. Smaller localized and sustainable efforts to get people outside and moving. Much like the Robinwood Garden and Fields Bridge. Assisting with community building and support. 196. One improvement I'd love to see is an actual enforcement of leash laws in our parks. It's dangerous for people and our pets and I see it every week at Mary S Young park and have never seen any kind of enforcement outside of a new sign. 197. Improve the riverfront for Mary S Young park. Increase education on Willamette River water quality and safety for swimming. 198. All in all it is very good now. 199. I would like to see the City contract for more services, especially maintenance, to avoid the ever increasing cost of benefits. 200. Please build us a pool & rec center where our high schoolers can have a swim team, families can have recreation & teens/ younger kids can have indoor sport/activity access. A facility of this type would create jobs for teens like lifeguarding, etc. 201. How about form fields that don't have limits on the number of characters that you can type ..... 202. Pools please!!! 203. I don't think we should bring in more parks than we can maintain and afford. We have a nice number of parks and open spaces right now. I would support a river frontage park. Thank you! 204. Paths to West Linn HS thru Wilderness Park are heavily used and in poor condition in certain areas. These paths should be upgraded for safety and access. 205. My kids and husband would like a disc golf course and we really do need our own pool. 206. "Love summers all West Linn events and outdoor activities. 207. Disappointed with youth recreational sports. Football -> Happy Valley. Basketball -> Tualatin. 208. Ballroom Dance should be done in Sunset Firehall. Adult Center room inadequate." 209. We seem very balanced except where indicated. Direct more funding for roads maintenance and transit 210. Trails and sidewalks please 211. I refuse to support any more ball fields. We have enough of organized fields dedicated to a few while a focus on natural outdoor activity is largely ignored. I think our future focus should be on natural areas. 212. Yes, really Zip lining in West Linn! We need an indoor pool 213. "Thank you for all you do to bring community together. 214. I would love to have a swim facility in our area and would be willing put energy forward to this end." 215. We LOVE living in West Linn. 216. Enforce leash law before somebody or another pet gets seriously injured or worse.

Do you have any final thoughts you would like to share about parks and recreation in West Linn? 217. I think existing program offerings are adequate. I want to maintain the excellent facilities at our existing parks, especially running/walking trails, restrooms, & bike-to and bike-thru routes within and between parks. I use our parks almost daily. 218. Please consider daylighting Bernert Creek where it was placed underground along Tannler Drive next to the White Oak Savanna Park. 219. Would like to see the creek through Savannah Oaks daylighted 220. "overall, parks and rec does a great job maintaining and working with what we have. 221. additional activities would be great and an aquatic park would be fabulous!" 222. Generally, I would give high marks to WL for having so many green spaces. . I was disappointed that the city sold part of Sunset Park to the school board and that they have further damage the beautiful small areas. WL does a great job with MSY. 223. Add daylighting of Bernert Creek in the White Oak Savanna. 224. Please daylight Bernert Creek in the White Oak Savannah 225. I would definitely support adding DAYLIGHTING BERNET CREEK in the White Oak Savanna area. 226. Bernert Creek in White Oak Savanna should be daylighted like it used to be. The number of vertebrate species living part of their lives in the Savanna each year will dramatically increase when Bernert Creek is brought back to flowing above ground. 227. Compliments to city for quick clean-up of Mary s young after the January storms. Still have significant need to fix foot bridges in Mary s young. Also, need to clean-up the forest in that park given all the blown down trees, beaver mess, etc. 228. Maintain what we have 229. Just a big thank you for all that the Parks Department has done over the 28 years we have lived here. You all really care! 230. Overall happy and seems good. Great opportunities for young kids. Food for thought...rather than going it alone as a mid-sized community, why not partner with neighbors such as LO? 231. Please provide us citizens with more information that the increased taxes you want us to pay will be used for parks and rec access improvements that benefit us and not just to increase city employee pay and benefits. 232. "Please reopen Bernert Creek in the Savanna oaks area. 233. The sports set-up at Fields Bridge park really ruins the natural setting. 234. Thank you for the huge effort your department does to make West Linn a beautiful and healthy place." 235. Need more space of Park & Rec. activities and avoid using schools due to inflexible scheduling plus parking problem during events 236. Please install kayak launching systems at docks above the falls and below the falls that can be used by the elderly and handicapped. An example system is at Promontory Park in Estacada. Or Google "Kayak Lunch Systems". Thank you! 237. Yes. I'd like to see daylighting of Bernert Creek back in the White Oak Savanna. Bernert Creek used to flow freely in the Savanna until it was placed underground into a culvert in approximately 1975 when the street was installled. 238. I would love an aquatic facility! 239. Run it like a business! It's easy to raise taxes, float a bond, create a levy, or impose more costs on the citizens. 240. White Oak Savannah is great, more of that please. Maybe not call any more things "White" though, around here. 241. Girls' softball needs a place like Fields Bridge Park which is only accessible for boys' baseball. 242. Gym space is tight. We would love more gym space (think at least two full sized courts) that can also be used as a stage for community dance & recitals as well as events. 243. White Oak Savanna is like the face of West Linn that drivers on I205 see. Should get more investment as it is such a public face of the parks of the city to the rest of the world driving by. 244. They are great!!

Appendix A: Summary of Open-ended Responses | 95 Do you have any final thoughts you would like to share about parks and recreation in West Linn? 245. Overall I think the parks and rec department does an excellent job with what they have. I appreciate all the work that goes into the programs we have today. Thank you. 246. Sunset Park needs a play structure ASAP 247. West Linn is a very beautiful and special area and I feel privileged to live here. Please continue to be cautious on overcrowding/new houses/development. Thank you for all you do! 248. The city has put very little effort into girls sports. We have to maintain them ourselves as parents yet the boys have Fields Bridge. I understand they did a lot of fund raising for the park but the city should do something for girls 249. I would suggest MANY MORE benches for sitting in all parks. So many seniors & partly disabled people need to sit frequently during walks, Fields Bridge Park especially needs more benches. Bathrooms too. 250. I believe our current parks and rec is sufficient for our population base. maintaining the useable condition should be a priority. riverfront development, rec centers, aquatic parks serves only the few and not the many middle class families of WL 251. I would like to stress again that replacing the ancient, scary metal slides in Hammerle Park would be greatly appreciated. Also, more baby swings with longer chains would be awesome. 252. West Linn does a great job with its Parks and Recreation ...they are a great reason why people move here 253. Daylighting Bernert Creek in the White Oak Savanna 254. I travel out of the area for swimming for my kids. I also travel for gymnastics and Rock climbing. I'd love to have a swimming pool in the area. Indoor or outdoor. But check out "the Cool Pool" in Albany. It's fantastic. 255. I think you do a great job of maintaining fields bridge park, especially keeping the trails clear. I still think you need at least one bench facing the play structure for moms and grandmas to sit on while children play. Pickle ball and bocci ball! 256. There needs to be more available activities and facikities for kids, youth and teens that are year round. 257. We need a trail that connects Fields Bridge and Willamette Park, as well as safer passages for bikes. 258. Need path or sidewalk from fields bridge park to downtown Willamette. 259. An off leash dog park at Willamette would be a great addition. 260. Sunset needs a water feature 261. I rea 262. I would highly resent having to pay taxes for an aquatic facility. My neighborhood association has its own pool, which I pay for yearly. I do not want to pay for another pool which I would never use. The taxes in W.L. are steep! 263. Parks and Rec does a good job. 264. We need a place to teach our kids to swim. 265. There is a good variety of parks in West Linn and they are a source of pride for the city. Maintaining them and encouraging the visitors to clean up after themselves at the facilities should be a priority. 266. I believe oversight of community facility BUILDINGS such as the Adult Center, Robinwood Community Center and the proposed Bolton Community Center should be separate from Parks & Recreation. P&R should only have to focus on programs and activities. 267. The Blue Heron outfall area would be the only area I would support in new park acquisition. It's not suited for much development due to the flood plain and traffic ingress/egress. It's a fantastic place to put a quiet boat launch for canoes/kayaks. 268. Midhill Park needs a pavilion/covered area! 269. We recently moved to West Linn and are enjoying all that the parks have to offer. Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback. 270. Residents who do not use the parks should not be burdened with a Parks Maintenance Fee; there should be a Park User Fee instead. Also: West Linn does not need an Aquatic Center such as the model proposed years ago. 271. "I love the parks that offer toddler play spaces!!

Do you have any final thoughts you would like to share about parks and recreation in West Linn? 272. We don't live in a neighborhood that has its own public pool so would have to travel out of the city for any sort of pool access, we love swimming so this is a major bummer for us!" 273. An ozone/saltwater pool instead of chlorine would be great. The cul de sacs are the worst! Awful urban planning & un-neighborly - connecting paths to walk/bike around WL more easily are needed. Encouraging Block Parties would strengthen neighborho 274. I love having lots of community parks within walking distance of many homes as well as the larger parks we all enjoy. 275. The City has a very good parks system and recreation program. In my opinion, the City does not need to increase taxes or SDCs to fund parks and recreation. It should work with the funding it already has. 276. continue to maintain Wilderness Park as is 277. "I would like to suggest that the trees be protected in the new pocket park on West A St. 278. There are valuable trees including Camila and a cherry tree that should be left standing. 279. The trees that cover the southside of the park should be left standing." 280. More financial help resources, it is spendy. 281. The trees and the rivers make our city special. More open space, nature and multiuse trails and better connectivity would be my priority. 282. Robinwood gets overlooked because we have good access to Mary S. Young. The new small park near Shady Hollow is O.K. but pBarking is a real problem. Could we please get the old fire station up to code so it can be used mostly in the rainy months. 283. We love living in West Linn. It's great for families and truly feels like we live in a community! 284. We need a community focal point! A pool/community center with good parking would fit this bill. 285. I think they do a great job of maintaining what we have. I do not support NEW park acquisition and development until we expand and complete what we have already started! ie: Riverwalk trail from Willamette Park to Arch Bridge with viewing points. 286. Lets concentrate on the North end Robinwood for a change instead of always on top of the hill or Wilammette . True we have Mary S, Young but no meeting place. How about renovating the old fire hall. 287. We love Mary S Young, birding in Maddox woods, playing Soccer at the field off Stafford...there are so many options. We are greatful for that and we LOVE the Old Time Fair!!! Thank you! 288. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 289. Keep up the good work! Don't let the vocal people get you down. This city has a ton to offer all the residents and the parks are awesome. 290. Why does everything have to involve increasing taxes. Let's use our money more wisely and stop the excess spending by overpaying contractors etc. Reduce salaries of city officials. It is time to do somethings without taxing people. It can be done 291. A pool in this community would be just wonderful. 292. Have lived here off and on since early '70s. So much better than any of the other locations; Other states, large and small cities, and a few places in other countries. A big supporter of West Linn's support of Re- creational activities & nature. 293. I love the parks and rec system in West Linn. It is one primary reason why we decided to move here 2 years ago. Unfortunately some of the facilities are poorly maintained, e.g. the picnic structures in outdoor parks. I also want more river access. 294. I grew up on Pete's Mountain and spent many years in Willamette more than 50 years ago. I would love to see your Parks & Rec programs more directed toward getting kids and adults outside in healthy pursuits like walking, running and biking. 295. Swimming center(s) please! 296. I support protection and enhancement of the Savannah Oaks area near the old Albertsons store. 297. I'd love to see a public pool or aquatic facility in our city! 298. The oppenlander field is horrible!

Appendix A: Summary of Open-ended Responses | 97 Do you have any final thoughts you would like to share about parks and recreation in West Linn? 299. I love that parking is free, but it may be time to introduce paid parking during peak usages. It would help pay for improvements without necessarily having to raise taxes. 300. I don't know if you guys control it but I think we should stop developing land for houses, we have so many homes on the market here and it makes sense to create jobs but we're tearing down our environment to squeeze in a couple more houses. 301. Nope 302. No more sports fields. We are over saturated. Voters already said swim center was too expensive. Let's have more things people can walk/bike to and have police force take a more active role in ticketing off-leasers and late night littering partiers. 303. n/a 304. Put in sidewalks throughout so people can access all facilities safely 305. We really love West Linn and raising our family here. The only thing really missing is trails for walking/running/biking. This is a great family activity for which we have to go elsewhere. We love the short trail off Willamette Park. Please add more 306. I love that we have so many beautiful and accessible parks in WL. But, I don't see a need to acquire more. What I do see is a need for more community based recreation - a community center, ideally with a pool. 307. We have 2 small children and we love to frequent the parks. It blows me away how most often the parks are empty, no other people. We loved the summer passport program that went on a few summers ago...it made us get out and see all the wonderful parks 308. I would like to see more access for youth soccer in west linn. Also a swimming pool combined with an community center and not have to pay expensive fees at gyms. 309. Bike paths along the river that connect with other bike systems would be amazing to have. 310. Organized sports is healthy in this city through various leagues. What's missing is the ability for families to enjoy the beauty of West Linn on non-sports days to recreate and play safely while running into other community members. 311. We need more sport fields for youth sports - preferably turf fields 312. We need an indoor tennis facility. 313. It's not the reason I moved here but the reason I'm staying. My family has benefited by the abundance of park space in myriad ways. It is West Linn to me. 314. It seems to me that we have enough parks. But it rains a lot! So I think we need to make the parks we have updated for multi season use. I think a facility could be built and run by a private facility and not taxpayers. 315. We need more bike trails. Getting from Hwy 43 to the top of Rosemont Ridge is almost impossible without a car. Sidewalks and bike lanes need to be developed (not too steep) so all areas of West Linn are accessible to pedestrians and bicyclists. 316. See above! Also, it would be wonderful to be able to walk from Maddox Woods through Burnside Park up to the Walmart for shopping on a river trail. Hwy 43 is too dangerous to walk. 317. I would love to see the trail built between Willamette Park and the old OC bridge. This would be a nice way to connect these two communities and it is currently unsafe to ride, walk, or run beyond the end of Willamette Park toward OC. 318. Nothing in this survey about the library. That is a very important part of recreation in West Linn. Parking at the library is just terrible. I would favor buying the adjacent building (Polar) when it comes available, make it a community center wit 319. Please update the play structure area at sallie illahee!!! 320. I would like to see the sports fields get better funding and maintenance. Maybe even some lighted turf sports fields as the school fields are always booked full. 321. We didn't support the aquatics facility idea when it was on the ballot because it will bring in a lot of people who don't live here. Would love to see a private/club facility cater to this idea 322. You do an incredible job as a parks and recreation department. I take a lot of pride in my community and I am thrilled with the amount of parks and facilities we have available to us. Thank you!

Do you have any final thoughts you would like to share about parks and recreation in West Linn? 323. "West Bridge Park- developed as a natural area, similar to Burnside park. No paving please! 324. Also, I'd like the city to consider the purchase of the property on Hood St between Holly and Key Bank for small pocket park, with benches and natural areas." 325. Indoor Aquatic center/ community gym like Mountain park. 326. Like I said I am still new to the community and just finding my way around...look forward to helping support the growth of the Parks and Rec department... 327. I'd love to see a pocket park or green space in place of the land-locked lot on Hood St. (between Key Bank and the new LifeBalance business on Holly St.); this would compliment Central Village, be visually attractive, & user friendly for neighborhood 328. Hoping to get a swimming pool/aquatic facility of some sort soon! 329. I would support a pocket park adjacent to Key Bank and near Market of Choice to replace the abandoned house in the Holly Street neighborhood 330. The need for an indoor swimming pool is pretty big. Also, just to reiterate additional river access for human powered craft, and additional unpaved trails. 331. Just to focus on effeciency 332. An aquatic park would be wonderful. 333. GIVE FIELD 1 AT WILLAMETTE BACK TO GIRLS SOFTBALL. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE. or, if you're going to take a field away from them, find them another field to replace it. We NEVER hear of P&R taking fields from the boys. Such BS. 334. The people at Parks & Rec are doing a very good job in providing opportunities for our community and in maintaining the current parks and facilities. More support for your endeavors would be welcome. 335. This sounds like - "we are going to spend more $, where & what do you want it to be on?" Please don't spend more $. There are plenty of parks/programs/activities already. Don't pursue POOL again!! Don't do projects that infringes on pers prop rights. 336. More bike trails as it reduces congestion. 337. Burnside Park should continue to be protected forever as a nature park for hiking and wildlife viewing only. The same goes for Wilderness Park, Maddax Woods, Camassia, and Goat Island. No chemicals or dogs. 338. Access to nature is necessary for both the mental and physical health of our community members. Please acquire more park space like Burnside Park and make sure it is left natural and unspoiled. No dogs, please. This is truly the gem of West Linn! 339. Actually, now that you mention it, a new multipurpose recreation or community center sounds like a great idea. 340. Thank you for conducting this survey. 341. I think the city does a really good job maintaining the parks we have! 342. Nope! 343. Best park system I have seen. 344. Please please please focus on a swimming facility for our city. It is crazy that we don't have one. We are losing revenue and residents to surrounding communities because families drive out of WL to use swimming facilities in neighboring towns. 345. What has been done so far is great but trail connectivity programs/agenda is excessive in light of other needs which should be higher priority. Those needs are an indoor swim and exercise center & the maintenance & upgrade to current great parks. 346. I have been happy with the parks and the services provided. Whenever I visit a park, it is clean and no trash in sight. It is a shame we do not have an indoor swimming pool for our children to easily learn to swim and enjoy water safely. 347. Love this community and the parks. We use them a lot as a family with sports and just by ourselves as a family outing. Love all the events in the Willamette area and all you folks do. Keep up the good work!!! 348. Love West Linn facilities. Great job! 349. I think the first step is making sure that we take care of what we already have and making improvements.

Appendix A: Summary of Open-ended Responses | 99 Do you have any final thoughts you would like to share about parks and recreation in West Linn? 350. There are several hundred children trying to learn how to play baseball/softball in ankle high grass. Using poorly maintained school district fields is undesirable. 351. I wish that the fields provided to both boys and girls were equal or that all had access to the same facilities. My daughter has always had her softball and soccer at hammerlee, which is a disgrace. 2 teams per field. Usually a mud pit. Disgracef 352. I would love to see more retail businesses come to West Linn, particularly in the Willamette Falls neighborhood. Right now, I travel to other communities to access shops and dining and would prefer to keep my money in my own community. 353. "Generally a good job. 354. Robinwood needs that old fire station brought to code so we can use it." 355. I've lived in the Robinwood area for 50 years. Some of my friends and neighbors have lived here longer than that. We helped build this city to the beautiful place it is today. The last few years it has been a nightmare. take care of bike path on hi43 356. You guys are doing great:) 357. Extend the new Willamette park trail to the Oregon City bridge 358. A rec center would be a major asset to West Linn. It's the only major thing missing. 359. INDOOR POOLS, TEEN OPPORTUNITIES, water recreation, bike paths 360. I would support an outdoor pool in Douglas park 361. More Sports feilds, more water access. We need to make West Linn a destination and not a place that you drive through to get somewhere. 362. West linn really needs a large multi-purpose/ rec center and indoor pool. This is a pool our high school swim team could use and the local families could enjoy. We would be willing to pay membership fees to have close access. 363. A community center and indoor pool is much needed in West linn. Something similar to the sw community center in Portland. Pool for year round use 364. We need a pool 365. City pool available to all residents not just a few lucky ones, a indoor or covered park like setting for rainy or hot days, morning classes for adults (zumba) 366. For parks, focus on specific high impact/differentiated features/activities: adventure at MSY, marina at Willamette Park, super trail on Willamette River. For Rec, community center for kids and adults with climbing walls, gyms, studios and pool 367. We desperately need a better spot for recreational soccer. Mary S. Young is too muddy and wet. Would also love to have a public pool. Perhaps we could partner with an organization like YMCA to bring a public pool/community center to our area. 368. West Linn has too many parks. Sell off the least used parks that aren't significant to the city's portfolio. Focus on parks that are significant and those that highlight our city's assets, ie, Willamette Falls, Willamette access, indoor swimming. 369. Creating more events like the scavenger hunt for letters offered by the library would be a great way to educate members of the community about what is available. Annual scavenger hunt w/2 prizes one main prize and one for amount of litter gathered. 370. I think its very important to continue to keep the costs of programs reasonable and to offer scholarships. There have been times through out the years where my children would have been home all summer had I not been able to get financial assistance. 371. Thank you 372. Access to parks by bike lanes! I would fully support a community recreation center with a pool. 373. West Linn has great parks, programs and facilities. More connectivity in trails and more multi-use trails would be great. An off-leash dog park would also be beneficial. 374. No more parks. We are unable to maintain what we have.

Do you have any final thoughts you would like to share about parks and recreation in West Linn? 375. There's A LOT of turf to maintain and many shrubs in parks are improperly pruned/cut back to within an inch of their lives. More horticultural and landscape architecture investments make sense so maintenance is simpler and lower cost (FTES and H20). 376. I would love to see West Linn continue to be a great family community for all ages. 377. 1) old Bolton Fire Hall rennovated into a community center that provides space for stable renters & community events. 2) The lot at Holly St. and Hwy43 to be bought by the city, made into a pocket park with walking access only. 378. And lower the bill as well 379. West Linn is a wonderful place to live. Having moved here from a gated community in California, I feel that it has every chance to become THE most desirable area to live outside of Portland. 380. Keep up the good work atd minimum fee or tax cost 381. ...ruined a perfectly good, cheap, low maintenance open space with a grass field that sees very little use. Because a consultant said to do it. 382. Great variety of parks/natural spaces to frequent in West Linn. It's one of the things that makes this city special. Would like to have more benches for parents at some of the parks (e.g., Hammerle). 383. I would like to see the Old Bolton Fire Station be opened to the public for classes and meeting space so my friends and I have a place to have a book club in the evenings or art classes which I have wanted for years. 384. "I am happy with all the nature parks. 385. I don't know much about community programs so I didn't answer those questions. 386. I have a BIG complaint: Willamette Park has 60+ parking spaces for boats and trailers and about 7 spaces for picnicking & kayakers" 387. As mentioned before, when I say I support an aquatic center, I mean an Olympic-size pool - not a wave pool. I feel the $ is worth a local place where people can swim, but not worth a huge Clackamas-style center. Thanks! 388. West Linn is a great place to live because of its unique character. There are still lots of green spaces, trees, and lovely parks. Let's keep it that way! 389. Thanks for everything! 390. Would love to see an off-leash dog area designed into the plan for connecting Willamette Park and West Bridge Park. 391. Lights at Fields Bridge to extend usable hours to help overcome shortage of playable fields 392. We need a good bike trail for families with lung kids a safe place to rid Abd an indoor aquatic center 393. I love the baseball fields at fields bridge park. So much better than any of the other fields we play at. Lights at fields bridge would be awesome. 394. There should be lights at the Fields Bridge ball parks, a flashing yellow by Fields Bridge as well, and the parking at both Fields Bridge and the Oppenheimer fields needs expansion. 395. As new development occurs along various corridors, such as Rosemont, it is important that new areas are set aside for parks / green space. Existing parks need maintenance. Additionally, the city should engage and recruit more community volunteers. 396. "Lights at Fields Bridge 397. - Traffic light - a flashing yellow light on Borland Rd/Willamette Falls Drive by Fields Bridge Park 398. - Revised parking scheme - enlarge and expand the parking lot at Fields Bridge to the West End of the Park" 399. No pool 400. Consider a pocket park at corner of Hwy 43 and Holly st. 401. If I could get the funding, I can show you the center I've designed 402. Yes, smaller communities offer swimming pools and it is disgraceful that a community as wealthy as West Linn does not offer something in this area, as well as indoor rec. center that is affordable for families.

Appendix A: Summary of Open-ended Responses | 101 Do you have any final thoughts you would like to share about parks and recreation in West Linn? 403. Very different venues and topography throughout the town require a varied outlook for each neighborhood. However, it is most important to control the development by keeping as many green spaces and parks as possible available and undeveloped. 404. N/A 405. Would like to see lights added at Fields Bridge baseball fields. 406. Please (please!!) put lights in at Fields Bridge. 407. Community Pool 408. Midhill Park needs more general maintenance. 409. Love the idea of walking/biking paths, nature walks perhaps even parks. Only concern is the vehicle traffic this could bring to the area. 410. whatever you do, please be mindful of the traffic impacts. we moved to our home because of the little amount of vehicle traffic and would hate to see that impacted. Thanks for asking! 411. I like the variety of play structures and waterspray features at the different parks. Plus having open grass areas allows for variety of uses. I think the maintenance is very good especially considering the amount of use. 412. Looking forward to Wilderness Park being returned to a natural state after construction. PLEASE finish the sidewalk giving a continuous safe walking/running path the entire length of Rosemont. It is so close, but the portion left is so dangerous. 413. Want to see see enhancements of west bridge with river trail connecting willamette park a priorty 414. There is a strong divide between the 43 corridor and "the hill". We moved from the hill for increased access to the river, but we are finding the parks, roads, and buildings are not maintained as they are for those on the hill. Definite equity issues 415. Lights added to Field Bridges Park with more parking. Play structure at Openheimer Park. 416. More parks and outdoor spaces and less building where we could have open spaces!!!!! 417. Improve fiscal accountability 418. We live in a fine community and are satisfied overall of the condition of city parks and recreation areas. We feel there are diverse opportunities for outdoor recreation. However, some of the parks could use a face-lift. 419. very tired of having to go to oregon city for swim lessons and pool time for kids. would love to have a west linn pool 420. I oppose any movement toward an aquatic facility! 421. The Parks Department does a great job with its limited staff. I would like to see the work continue and improve in the future. 422. The maintenance crews need to work more on invasive species in park natural areas, & plant smaller plants along landscaped paths so they remain open. They could even post signs so walkers could remove a little ivy or blackberry every day. 423. "1. Cooperation, coordination and utilization between the WL City Park and Recreation department and WL/Wilsonville School District. 424. 2. Bond issues to support the building of a Recreation Community Center complex to serve the Recreation needs of ." 425. We don't need more flowers or more parks or pools, until we can better upkeep and maintain what we have. Even city hall has a history of not keeping up the pond and landscaping around it. 426. We have two dogs, but one was attacked at a dog park. Would like to see an enclosed area we could go to throw a ball for them. We take them for walks/runs all the time, but would like to be able to let them run free without other dogs. 427. Stop expending this way and use our limited funds to fix the streets. My street looks like a street from 3rd world country. It is Hillhouse Drive where the city is only patching cracks and holes. It is terrible. Concentrate on what is important.

Do you have any final thoughts you would like to share about parks and recreation in West Linn? 428. We enjoy walking from our house and walking by the parks and river. A walking path connecting the two parks (Willamette and Field's Bridge along the Tualatin/Willamette River would be nice, or a walking/biking path on Willamette Falls Drive. 429. We are very grateful for the long-standing commitment to parks and open spaces by city employees and citizen volunteers. Knowing nearly everyone calling West Linn home has a nearby park for play and so much more is a tremendous accomplishment. 430. Thank you for asking! 431. I think the city does a good job providing parks and recreation. 432. "Increasing mult-iuse trails along the rivers. 433. Solve the funding issues for a swim pool with partnership/Recreation Service District." 434. "Midhill Park needs some sort of shade area. During the summer, that park is way too hot to use during the day 435. hours. We need a covered area for parents/kids to get a break from the sun. 436. We would also love a splash pad for those hot months!" 437. Coordinate with surrounding cities for shared resources so that not all local cities are having to consider all these features listed here. And do remember that some parks are desired as is - not built up, but simply as a quite, natural, spot. 438. No 439. Daylighting Bernert Creek 440. Please daylightbthe creek in savanna oaks ... I think it's called Bernert creek ... it would be beautiful and add natural wildlife back into the system 441. We have a great P&R team! 442. I really think West Linn would benefit from a Family community center with all the major attractions, swimming pools, fitness areas, picnicking and hiking biking trails. 443. If a new dog park was added it would be really nice if it was an area where people could walk on trails with their dogs instead of an open field. 444. I live adjacent to Marylhurst Park and it is beautiful. I wasn't impressed at first, but it is constantly used, the noise of the playground doesn't bother us, dog owners are great about cleanup and it is so much better than we imagined. 445. We pay a tax of over $11 on every water bill, why isn't this enough and why don't you send information about what you do with the collected monies in our bill. 446. Mary s young needs work on the railroad trail where there is a big washout - needs heavy equipment to fix! 447. I like the concept of the "mini-park" - there's one being put in close to my house so I am anxious to see how it turns out. I think neighborhood parks are a great idea in West Linn as a compliment to the larger parks and trails. 448. We moved here 17 years ago because there was access to parks and trails, especially Mary Young park, and the river and the town atmosphere, not suburban sprawl. We liked having several smaller locations for shops, churches, schools. 449. I enjoy the parks in West Linn to be in nature and to have some peace and serenity. I also like the walking and hiking trails. Rec activities are less important to me. Thank you. 450. I would attend events at Willamette Park if I was able to walk or ride a bike to it without having to walk or ride on Willamette Drive. 451. Get a bond or tax measure passed instead of adding to our water/sewer bill. Stop acquiring more land for parks when you can't maintain what we have without tax increases or adding to water/sewr 452. With a slightly higher percentage of households having dogs than children, i believe more parks with off- leash dog parks would be highly utilized, much appreciated, and would help bring neighbors together if located in a neighborhood park. 453. Please uncover Bernet Creek in the White Oak Savanna. 454. Please add small off leash dog areas scattered in neighborhoods

Appendix A: Summary of Open-ended Responses | 103 Do you have any final thoughts you would like to share about parks and recreation in West Linn? 455. I love the trails, but without law enforcement commitment to patrol these areas, they have the potential to decrease the liveability of our community. I also believe that some stretches of waterfront should be left undeveloped for wildlife/habitat 456. West Linn needs a home base. Keep trying to forge relationships with companies or organizations to develop a community go-to place for all ages. Educate people about the sensitive environment we need to preserve and care for. 457. A multi use - lacrosse, soccer, etc... artificial turf field is needed. Baseball has several, how about one for the other sports! 458. Overall we have been very happy with West Lin parks and rec! The only thing we keep going out of town for is a place to swim. 459. The teenagers in WL need an indoor facility they can visit that has indoor recreational opportunities available to them.This population is significantly underserved in our city.We have voted for a city multipurpose recreation/community center.Thank U 460. I believe West Linn would benefit most from a trail along the Willamette River between the Willamette and Bolton neighborhoods. 461. Love our park system and Ken's oversight. Parks are well placed, designed, developed and maintained. Love our adult community center. Trail system shd be inter-connected. Capitalize on our river frontage for increased accessibility. Thanks! 462. The parks are both a blessing and a curse for residents whose homes neighbor the park. The Parks Department needs to address the needs of park neighbors for privacy and quality of life; both are diminished by park users." 463. The WL parks are wonderful--beautiful and well maintained.
