Director Report February 1 - 28, 2025 Lake Oswego Parks & Recreation's mission is to Build Community, Enrich Lives, and Care for the Urban and Natural Environment. This report is a look back and summary of operations supporting our mission and promise of excellent services to the people of Lake Oswego.
February 14 ushered in the first winter storm of 2025, bringing a powerful mix of snow, ice, and high winds to the region. As road conditions quickly deteriorated and travel became hazardous, City teams sprang into action to ensure public safety and maintain accessibility. The Parks team worked tirelessly to clear snow and ice from key city facilities, including City Hall, Adult Community Center, Library, and the Tennis Center, ensuring these essential spaces remained open and accessible to the community. In addition to facility maintenance, the Parks & Recreation team played a critical role in keeping residents informed. Staff provided timely updates through social media and the department website, sharing real-time information on park closures and program cancellations.
