The City of Gates, Or.

June 2014

([HFXWLYH 6XPPDU\ The City of Gates is one of a number of small and growing communities in the Willamette Valley. Planning for adequate parks and recreation facilities will be key to maintaining and preserving a high quality of life in these areas. However, providing adequate park facilities is a challenge for many small communities like Gates. Lack of resources – both staff and funding – limits many communities’ ability to develop and maintain adequate park systems. Identifying system priorities and matching them with available resources requires careful planning, and communities are typically required to develop and adopt park system master plans to guide development of their parks system and justify fees associated with development and maintenance.

Parks can provide a variety of resources and opportunities for communities.

These include passive and active recreation opportunities, preservation of open space and wildlife habitat that may include environmentally sensitive land such as wetlands or coastlines, and preservation of historic, cultural and natural resources. In addition, parks may serve as informal meeting places in a community – drawing residents together and creating a sense of cohesiveness and community.

This report was produced as part of Portland State University’s Urban and Regional Planning course, USP 531 GIS for Planners, Spring 2014. It provides a background and analysis of Gates’s park needs and desires, as well as preliminary recommendations for future improvements. We hope that this project will help the City of Gates to prepare parks and recreation plan mapping needed to develop a parks master plan.

The research and analysis in this report was carried out with guidance and support from the Mid-Willamette Council of Governments (MWVCOG).
