Lake Oswego Parks & Recreation 2024 Summer Activities Guide

Summer Registration opens 10am Saturday April 6

Message from the Director

Hello Again, LO Community!

Welcome to our much-anticipated Summer Activities Guide! As the warm sun beckons us outdoors, our parks, camps, and programming become vibrant hubs of community engagement, recreation, and endless possibilities for fun.

This summer, we have curated an extraordinary lineup of activities, camps, and events designed to cater to diverse interests and age groups. Whether you are a nature enthusiast, sports fanatic, enjoy arts and crafts, or simply seeking a relaxing escape, we have something for everyone.

For families, we have an array of kid-friendly activities and camps, from interactive nature walks, swimming at the Swim Park, paddle boarding on the Willamette River, camps that teach you how to grow organic foods, plus the opportunity to enjoy the many parades and festivals throughout the summer. Let your children's imaginations run wild in our playgrounds. Join us for family movie nights under the stars, or take in one of the many summer concerts and enjoy the bounty at Farmers' Market.

Our commitment to fostering a sense of community extends beyond traditional recreational activities. This summer, we are thrilled to introduce workshops and classes on wellness, mindfulness, and sustainability. From outdoor yoga sessions, our very own Fit Spot, and informative talks on eco-friendly practices, there is an opportunity for personal growth and connection with like-minded individuals.

Plus, check out the progress on the 2019 bond projects we have under construction in Lake Oswego on pages 44-45.

Thank you for choosing us as your summer and recreation destination. Let's make this season one to remember!

Cheers to summer!

These funds are administered through an Oregon Trail debit card that can be used at the market to purchase tokens to buy eligible foods. Thanks to a generous donation from CottageCare, the Market offers a weekly match of up to $20 per SNAP purchase. This increases healthy food access by up to $80 per month! The market and CottageCare are committed to providing healthy food access to the community’s most vulnerable populations.

FARM FRESH KIDS AT THE FARMERS’ MARKET

Farm Fresh Kids aims to teach our community’s children about healthy eating, food systems and encourage positive interactions with the farmers that produce our food. First, kids can answer a question of the day at the Market Information booth. Those who answer correctly can earn an $1 token to spend at farmer vendor booths. Second, kids can complete the interactive Farmers’ Market worksheet full of riddles, scavenger hunts, fun facts and more to keep children engaged all season. By completing the weekly worksheet, kids can earn an additional $1 token to spend on fruits and veggies.

FACILITIES & PARKS PROJECTS

TRANSFORMATIVE PROGRESS: LAKE OSWEGO PARKS & RECREATION THRIVES WITH PROJECTS

In 2019, the residents of Lake Oswego made a resounding commitment to the enhancement and revitalization of their beloved parks by approving 30 million dollars for park development, renovations, and property acquisition. Progress continues, and we are excited to update you on some of the projects funded by this initiative. For more information, please visit lakeoswego.city/parksrec/parks-recreation-projects

THE LAKE OSWEGO RECREATION & AQUATIC CENTER (LORAC)

This intergovernmental partnership between the City and the Lake Oswego School District continues to advance, with an anticipated opening in late 2024.

The reception, staff area, and gymnasium have the exterior and interior walls up, and the roof is mostly complete. Interior work will continue throughout the next few months with the framing of windows and doors and the final electrical, plumbing, and other utility work. The competition pool walls and floor have been poured, and the recreational pool rebar and formwork have started with anticipation of the concrete pour in the next few months.

In addition, work will begin soon on PEMB (pre-engineered metal building) for the natatorium.

GOLF COURSE

Working with the renowned golf course architect Dan Hixson, the final landscaping will start soon. One hundred fifty trees strategically placed throughout the course will enhance the play experience. Last fall, we carefully cultivated various grass species that have been growing and maturing over the last few months. This is vital for strengthening and creating a high-quality playing surface.

The PEMB (pre-engineered metal building) that will be the maintenance structure and house equipment will be in soon, and construction will start to assemble it on site. The projected completion date is July.

GEORGE ROGERS PARK PICNIC SHELTER

The project was completed in February and is ready for the community to use. In addition to providing 780 square feet of covered space for community members to gather rain or shine, the new shelter offers a compacted gravel seating area with squared basalt benches for fairweather picnicking. The project also built a new accessible compacted gravel path that provides a direct connection from the two nearest ADA parking spaces to the shelter. ADA-accessible picnic tables were also added.

PARKS PLAN 2040

RASSEKH PARK

Phase 1 is underway, with the public utilities (water, sewer, stormwater, and electric) almost complete. Paving the parking area and pathways will occur during spring and early summer. The restroom building will be installed in late summer.

Work on the skatepark area is also progressing, with the "shotcrete" phase nearly complete. Shotcrete is the process of spraying concrete onto the skatepark design to create a more uniform and smoother surface for vertical areas and unique shapes. The anticipated soft opening of the skatepark is in the summer of 2024.

Phase 2 will include a play area, a picnic shelter, additional walking paths, and additional parking. Lake Oswego Parks & Recreation is preparing a funding plan for Phase 2 and hope to be able to begin work in late 2024 or early 2025.

The success of projects and programs goes beyond bricks, mortar, gravel, and dirt. It's a testament to the strong sense of community that drives our Parks & Recreation vision and mission forward. In 2023, we started updating the long-range plan for parks, recreation, and natural areas. This plan, called "Parks Plan 2040," assesses demographic shifts in the community, addresses changing needs and preferences, and establishes a community vision for parks and recreation in Lake Oswego through the year 2040. It builds off the current long-range plan, Parks Plan 2025, adopted in 2012.

Work continues this year with more community engagement and gathering of your feedback. Please help us create a plan that truly reflects our community's needs by sharing your thoughts with the project team.
