Hello, Lake Oswego Community!

Parks & Recreation Administrative Office

There is a lot of exciting news coming out of the City of Lake Oswego Parks & Recreation Department! I am proud to announce that our department has received the prestigious Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies (CAPRA) accreditation.

This achievement signifies our unwavering commitment to providing the highest quality parks and recreation services to our residents. We are dedicated to maintaining these high standards, continually improving our offerings, and ensuring our community benefits from safe, accessible, and enjoyable recreational opportunities. See more about what accreditation means for our community on page 46.

As you page through, you will find a diverse range of programs and events designed to cater to all age groups and interests. Whether you are a family seeking holiday festivities, an individual looking to stay active, or a senior seeking social gatherings, we have something for everyone. Some highlights include preschool dance and art programming, sports, and camps. Adult programming continues to thrive with fitness, social, and trips to restaurants, movies, and our popular senior grocery shopping bus that goes to different shopping experiences and markets throughout the metro area.

In addition to all the great programming, we are excited to announce our Teen Lounge welcomed its 100,000 visitor this past fall. What an accomplishment! Thanks to the staff for the great programs and fun events throughout the year.

The first of the year will ring in some amazing events, including the Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration and a Swinging Sock Hop. Plus, we are making progress on the Lake Oswego Recreation and Aquatics Center, along with Rassekh Park and Skatepark. See page 44 for updates.

We are committed to providing our community opportunities to stay active, engaged, and connected during this special time of year.

Warm regards,

FACILITIES & PARKS PROJECTS THE COMMUNITY’S VISION IS TAKING SHAPE! A lot of progress is happening with Parks & Recreation projects around town.

We continue cultivating an exceptional quality of life for everyone in our community with programs and new facilities to welcome everyone and all abilities.

RECREATION & AQUATICS CENTER The LORAC, funded through a 2019 Bond and an intergovernmental agreement between the City and Lake Oswego School District, promises to become a hub of recreation, fitness, and family fun with an anticipated opening in late November 2024.

The journey from inception to construction has been a remarkable one, and we are thrilled to show you the latest progress.

The walls are going up, along with roof trusses. This means the roof will be up in no time. Once the roof is on, the work will begin on the interior spaces of the gym, locker rooms, offices, and community rooms.

Utility work continues, which will take several months to complete. Both pools are dug and are in the process of getting rebar and forms. Once that is complete, concrete will be poured. The infrastructure of the pool components and equipment continues to progress. This process takes several months to complete with permitting and inspections. Plus, the natatorium constructed through a Pre-Engineered Metal Building (PEMB) process will begin erection in the spring of 2024.

The Annex (formally the Golf Course Club House) is getting new windows in the coming months, and the interior painting and finish work will be complete soon.

The golf course is seeded and is being maintained by Parks staff. It will continue to mature until it opens next year.

As we eagerly await the opening of the Lake Oswego Recreation and Aquatic Center, it's clear that this ambitious project will significantly enhance the quality of life in the community. The center, with its design, innovative features, and commitment to sustainability, will undoubtedly become a source of pride for Lake Oswego residents and the community. It's a testament to what can be achieved when a community comes together to realize a shared vision of growth and well-being.

RASSEKH PARK AND SKATEPARK City leaders, staff, contractors, and community members gathered to celebrate the groundbreaking of Rassekh Park and Skatepark this fall.

The overall grading for the first phase of development is complete, and the project team is working to serve the site with public utilities (water, sewer, stormwater, and electricity). California Skateparks is also mobilized on-site and the team is working on setting the rebar, forms, and installing the coping for upcoming concrete work.
