    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.
