Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan Update 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.

    2019–20 YEAR 5 PARKS BOND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY YEAR 5 Dear Portlanders, We are happy to report that 46 of the 52 Bond projects have been completed, with the remaining six projects underway. Your investment has been used wisely. Year 5 of the Bond started out as planned: • In July 2019, Commissioner Fish cut the ribbon on the completely overhauled Peninsula Pool. • In October 2019, the community gathered to celebrate a more accessible playground at Glenhaven Park. • Construction wrapped up on the installation of new play pieces and drainage repairs at over 30 parks. Sadly, 2020 started off with the loss of our colleague and beloved Parks Commissioner, Nick Fish. And then COVID-19 hit. With some adaptations, Bond projects stayed on track. Construction began on a new playground for Creston Park, and we completed a new playground at Verdell Burdine Rutherford Park, the first Portland park to be named solely after a Black woman. The public health crisis was followed by a groundswell of action for racial justice. Now, our parks and open spaces are even more precious than ever, serving as shared public spaces to exercise our bodies, our minds, and our voices. While this Bond could only tackle the most critical maintenance needs, it has given us all a glimpse of what we can achieve together. Let’s continue to create a more sustainable and more equitable future for our city and our parks. Stay safe, stay healthy, and stay hopeful. Sincerely, Commissioner Amanda Fritz Portland Parks & Recreation Director Adena Long 1 PARKS BOND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY YEAR 5 46Projects completed Glenhaven Park playground opening celebration Projects6 underway Peninsula Pool opening celebration Current3 projects ahead of or on schedule Marshall Park bridge construction 2 PARKS BOND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY YEAR 5 NORTH Acquisitions at Cathedral, Open Meadow.

DEQ initiated a Federal Site Screening of the site in August 1995. Existing DEQ records contained very little information about the landfill’s history, so the site evaluation was based largely on results of an on-site inspection and an analysis of leachate that was seeping from the toe of landfill into an adjoining marshland. Based on results of the site review, and environmental regulatory standards in effect at that time, DEQ concluded that the landfill represented little significant threat to human health or the environment. A No Further Action decision was issued for the site in June 1996.
