Activity Guide

REGISTRATION OPENS DECEMBER 9

Message from the Director Dear Lake Oswego Community,

As we head into the Winter and Spring seasons, the Lake Oswego Parks & Recreation Department is thrilled to bring you a fresh lineup of activities, classes, and events designed to inspire, engage, and connect all ages and abilities. From arts and culture to sports and outdoor adventures, this guide has something for everyone to enjoy and explore.

We’re also continuing our commitment to managing our natural areas and parks to make them more resilient, offering innovative and inspiring opportunities for recreation, and deepening connections within our community. This mission is at the heart of all that we do, and we're excited to work together in making our shared spaces even better.

We're especially excited to share a major milestone with you—the muchanticipated Lake Oswego Recreation & Aquatics Center (LORAC) opening in late winter! This state-of-the-art facility, made possible by our community’s incredible support and collaboration with the Lake Oswego School District, will feature two new pools, a spa, a fitness area, a gym, and much more. It's designed to enhance wellness, foster connections, and provide opportunities for everyone to thrive.

As of this guide's printing, construction at LORAC is still underway. We encourage you to visit our website for the latest updates and opening timelines. And if you're a member or planning to join, keep an eye out for announcements about our exciting pre-launch party, which is coming soon!

Thank you for being a valued part of our vibrant and growing community.

We can’t wait to see you at LORAC and throughout our other wonderful programs and facilities, including the Adult Community Center, Christ Church Parish, Tennis Center, and our beautiful parks.

Warm regards,

Ivan Anderholm Director of Parks & Recreation, CPRE

Meet the Pools

The LORAC will have three main bodies of water: the competition pool, the recreation pool, and the spa. Each is unique in temperature, size, and programming.

Competition Pool (Comp Pool) consists of 548,746 gallons of water and has two different configurations depending on what season it is for the high school. Most of the time, the pool will have twelve lanes, six lanes on each side of the bulkhead. This configuration will mainly be for Winter, Spring, and most of the summer. The other configuration is our water polo setup, which is a nine-lane pool with a bulkhead on the side of the pool. It is also nine feet deep throughout the entire pool, and the pool temperature average will be 81 degrees (temperatures will vary). Lane availability will depend on what programming is being run and staffing.

Taught throughout the day by either a full-time staff member or a fitness instructor, in either the competition pool or the recreation pool. Aqua Fitness is a low-impact workout, ideal for people of all fitness levels, including those with joint pain or mobility issues, as it reduces stress on the body while still providing an effective, full-body workout • Shallow water fitness classes are held in the Rec Pool and are an excellent introduction to aquatic fitness training, utilizing choreography to music and equipment to improve cardio, strength, flexibility, and have a whole lot of fun!

• Deep water fitness classes are held in the Competition Pool at a depth of nine feet, and utilize flotation belts to assist with buoyancy while performing exercises. Deep water workouts are low impact and designed to challenge strength, endurance and flexibility. Both classes may utilize additional equipment such as foam dumbbells, and pool noodles.

• Aqua Aerobics is a lower-intensity class. Using water's natural resistance, participants engage in activities like aerobic exercises, strength training, and stretching.

• Aqua Power is a higher-intensity workout designed to challenge you while being gentle on your joints and may include a variety of movements, including cardio drills, core exercises, and resistance training.

Equipment Recreation Pool (Rec Pool) consists of 96,240 gallons of water with only one configuration, and consists of three lanes. The pool temperature will be kept at 84 degrees (temperatures will vary). The Rec Pool has water features and two slides. Areas of the pool will be available at varying times based on program needs.

Both pools will have access to kick boards, pull buoy’s, fitness belts (helps with flotation) for fitness classes or independent aqua jogging, and other water fitness equipment.

Spa consists of 3,144 gallons of water and has a maximum capacity of seventeen people at a time. The spa temperature, on average, will be 101 degrees. There will be designated times for Adult use only. During open swim hours, non-swimmers and youths 14 & under should be accompanied by an Adult 18+.

LAKE OSWEGO MUNICIPAL GOLF COURSE 17525 Stafford Rd.

Lake Oswego Public Golf Course: A New Era Begins

Lake Oswego Public Golf Course has undergone a remarkable transformation under the guidance of acclaimed golf architect Dan Hixson. Based in Portland, Oregon, Hixson is celebrated for his innovative designs across the Pacific Northwest. His journey from a professional golfer competing on mini-tours to a self-taught architect has shaped his philosophy, emphasizing playability and strategic challenge for golfers of all levels.

Here’s what golfers can look forward to:

Revamped Course Layout and New Features This nine-hole course now offers a blend of par 3s and par 4s, designed for maximum enjoyment and challenge. Enhanced with new sand bunkers, shorter rough, and visually appealing greens, the course balances fun and strategic difficulty. Built with sustainability in mind, it features water-efficient fescue grass for a vibrant look that’s easy on the environment.

Open, Scenic Views The redesign, which converted the course from 18 hole par 3 to a 9-hole executive layout, opens up the landscape, enhancing the scenic charm. Thoughtfully grouped trees frame the course, complemented by the addition of 100 native Oregon white oaks, creating a picturesque setting on the rolling hills and a habitat-friendly, sustainable design.

Enhanced Greens Golfers will enjoy larger, contoured greens that reward strategic play. These greens allow players to position their shots for a natural roll toward the hole, adding an extra layer of challenge and enjoyment.

Upgraded Practice Spaces The new practice putting green, designed with diverse slopes and a bunker, offers a perfect space for warm-ups or familyfriendly putting contests. The expanded driving range with extended netting supports today’s longer drives, ideal for players of all skill levels.

Commitment to Eco-friendly Maintenance A core part of the renovation is the commitment to environmental sustainability, exemplified by the use of an electric mower. With less noise and lower emissions than traditional gas-powered equipment, electric mowers are an eco-conscious choice, contributing to a cleaner and quieter community environment.

Work at Rassekh Park slated to continue in 2025 with construction of the playground and picnic shelter!

Lake Oswego Parks & Recreation is preparing to begin the next phase of development at Rassekh Park, the city’s newest community park located on Stafford Road in the Palisades neighborhood. In 2024 Lake Oswego Parks & Recreation staff and several park neighbors successfully collaborated to secure a $1,000,000 grant from the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department through the Local Government Grant Program to partially fund the construction of the park’s playground and picnic shelter.

Conceptual rendering

The new playground is designed at nearly 15,000 square feet and will offer a variety of play opportunities for children of all ages and abilities. Among the exciting new features is a large play tower designed to engage older children ages 5-12, which will provide a multi-level climbing and exploration experience, along with two tunnel slides. Nearby, a natural boulder scramble wall and a long natural wood and stone rock-climbing wall with hand and food holds provides additional climbing opportunities, which were identified as a priority by local kids during the design process. The tot play area—conveniently located next to the large 960-square-foot picnic shelter for easy parental supervision—offers balance play features such as bobble riders and rubber balance balls designed for use by younger children. Natural play elements include the boulder climbing wall and a nature play area with nets and log-like features with engineered wood fiber surfacing.

Conceptual rendering

Rassekh’s playground was designed with accessibility as a primary driver, with special attention to slopes, surfacing, and equipment selection. The universal play swing seats four to six, has a designated transfer point from a mobility device, and is designed to provide a range of developmental benefits including sensory, motor, cognitive, and social skills, while allowing children of varying abilities to play together.

Similarly, the inclusive spinner has multiple seating positions for everyone to play together regardless of age, ability, or comfort level. The park also offers a variety of sensory and musical play elements, including three types of play drums that are fully wheelchair accessible and a pentatonic instrument with 26 aluminum musical notes.

ACTIVITY GUIDE

Opportunities to take a seat, rest, and enjoy the surrounding views will be provided by a small hardscaped plaza separating the parking lot from the playground, with several natural wood benches surrounded by trees and landscaping. The 960-square-foot picnic shelter offers additional seating opportunities in fair or foul weather, as well as a place to gather with friends and family. All of these exciting new park amenities are connected by accessible asphalt pathways and will be integrated into existing park features including four gender-neutral restrooms (two of which are fully accessible), the 10,000-square-foot skatepark that opened to the public in June 2024, and a wheelchair-accessible drinking fountain.

Estimated completion is Summer 2025.
