GREETINGS FROM LAKE OSWEGO
Since 1941, the Lake Oswego Chamber of Commerce has proudly served as the voice of business in our community. Together with our roughly 450 member businesses, non-pro t organizations and individuals, we play a vital role in fostering a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere in Lake Oswego.
The Chamber’s close partnerships with local government and neighboring communities amplify our belief that connections are at the heart of Lake Oswego. Chamber members expand their resource network through weekly networking events, new business orientations, and training opportunities. For over 40 years, we have committed ourselves to nurturing local leaders through our Leadership Lake Oswego program, and in 2023 we added a Business Leadership Development series.
Monthly Third Thursdays, two annual Wine Walks, a Wellness Fair, and holiday festivities are just a few of the ways the Chamber unites businesses with the local community. Additionally, we have proudly championed the Village Flower Basket program for 35 years, lining the main streets of Lake Oswego with over 200 vibrant ower baskets from May to October.
Lake Oswego is a special blend of charming neighborhoods, welcoming residents, lush natural surroundings, strong educational institutions, a responsive local government, and a supportive business environment. It’s a community where people work together to create the ideal place to live, work, and play. We’re glad you’re here!

RECREATION
Lake Oswego offers an abundance of ways to get moving, explore nature, and enjoy the outdoors—now with even more to experience in 2026. The opening of the new Lake Oswego Recreation and Aquatic Center (LORAC) has added a fresh hub for active living, featuring a warm-water pool, a competition pool for lap swimmers and team sports, and exible indoor spaces for tness classes, camps, and community programs. Just next door, the newly upgraded 9-hole community golf course invites players of all ages and skill levels to enjoy a relaxed round in a scenic setting.
Rassekh Park, one of the city’s newest additions, now includes a dynamic skatepark that has quickly become a destination for the skate community. Across the street, Luscher Farm connects people to the land with its community gardens, historic barns, and hands-on educational programs—all nestled within 40 acres of
pastoral beauty on the city’s edge.
Nature lovers will appreciate how seamlessly outdoor adventure is woven into everyday life in Lake Oswego. Surrounded by water and natural spaces—from the Willamette River and Oswego Lake to the trails and tree canopy of Tryon Creek State Park—the city offers endless opportunities for hiking, paddling, birdwatching, and picnicking. Oswego Lake is accessible to the public for nonmotorized watercraft, such as kayaks and paddleboards, during park hours via the lakefront area near Sundeleaf Plaza.
With 623 acres of parkland and 30 acres of recreation facilities under city management, Lake Oswego makes it easy to stay active, recharge in nature, and connect with community—whether you’re here for an hour or a lifetime.
