SOUTHWEST COMMUNITY CENTER

SUMMERCAMPS Hey friends!

Who doesn’t like having a good time!?! Play is one of the most important aspects of my life, and I continually reflect on how fortunate I am to play all day long as the Camp Coordinator at Southwest Community Center. My job includes overseeing the logistics and daily operations of SWCC’s 17 summer camps for kids 2-14 years old, spread out in a 90 acre park (No big deal right?!?) SWCC is the perfect place for all of our kids! We have everything you could ask for in a location with Gabriel Park as our backyard. This includes an urban forest, community garden, soccer fields, baseball fields, sand volleyball courts, tennis courts, a skate park, multiple sports fields, and even a play structure! There’s a place for everyone in our camps program. We offer a diverse range of themes including general day camps, outdoor adventure camps, and specialty camps such as sports and gardening, The largest part of my job is making sure that ALL of our camps provide SAFE, FUN and MEMORY MAKING play for all campers to enjoy!

SWCC’s programs, fellow staff, and the community/kids I serve have been a family to me since day one.

During my time working as a Camp Coordinator, I’ve grown as a professional, as well as a human being.

With the school year winding down, my days are being filled with spending all my time focused on summer camps, and the awesome season we’re about to have! My excitement for watching our SWCC campers experience new things, make new friends, and PLAY • Over 70 field trips taken is shared with all of the SWCC Camp • Over 1000 snow cones made Counselor’s and staff.

• Over 100 enthusiastic SWCC Camp Counselors In closing I only have one question….what • Endless trips down the indoor water slide camp are you going to sign up for?!?

• 500 bottles of sunscreen used See you this summer, • Countless trips down the slip n’ slide

• And too many smiles to count!

SW Neighborhoods Parks and Community Centers Committee

By Leonard Gard, SWNI Program Manager Parks Committee work SPRING GARDEN PARK Spring Garden Park is a rectangular, 4.65-acre park in the Multnomah Neighborhood. It’s bounded by Spring Garden St and Dolph Ct at the north and south, and is between 32nd and 35th on the east and west. Years ago it was surplus school district property. The City of Portland acquired it in 1999 and for many years it has remained a grassy field.

It drops fairly sharply in elevation from south to north, and there are nice views at the south end to the north and east.

Good things have been happening in the last several years. In 2009, the Friends of Spring Garden Park formed as a committee of the Multnomah Neighborhood Association. They began holding events in the park, and in 2011 got a grant from Umpqua Bank for a small nature-play area at the south end of the park. Then in 2013, the Bureau of Environmental Services did restoration work in the northern end of the park—taking a stream out of a pipe and restoring it to the surface of the park

and planting the surrounding area with native plants. The biggest news came in 2014 when Commissioner Amanda Fritz announced that funding from system development charges would help pay for major improvements to the park, by implementing the Park’s Master Plan.

A project advisory committee was formed and PP&R staff went to work.

PP&R hosted three public “Community Gatherings” at the Multnomah Arts Center to present conceptual designs to the public. Construction is scheduled to start in August of 2016 and finish in the spring of 2017. For current information on this project, check this weblink: https://www.portlandoregon.gov/ parks/67420.

PARKS COMMITTEE WORK The committee has addressed a number of important issues in recent months.

A proposal by Under Armour, a sports apparel maker, offered funding for improvements to Duniway Park but triggered concerns about parking, lighting, and other issues. For the most current information about the Duniway

Park project, click on the Projects tab at www.PortlandParks.org, or look here (https://www.portlandoregon.gov/ parks/68563).

We thank all the people from PP&R who have attended our meetings.

Special thanks go to Terri Davis and Astrid Dragoy, both of whom have regularly attended our meetings for years. Most recently, Ross Swanson gave the committee an update on the Willamette Park Redevelopment Plan. Design development is done and work is now focusing on construction documents. The project goes out to bidding this fall.

The eastern edge of the new Willamette Park will be enhanced for bike commuters. The dog park (off-leash area) will be fenced off and have a granular clay surface for better drainage. It will include vegetated “islands.” The dog park will be about a half acre. A threefoot entry sign and wall will screen the dog park from Macadam. The Bureau of Environmental Services

There are two playgrounds now. One will be taken out.

The replacement playground is not yet funded. One of our committee members expressed her favor of natureplay equipment for the playground. Another member reported that South Portland NA wants a larger dog park.

Parking revenue also was discussed.

The committee is one of the standing committees of Southwest Neighborhoods, Inc., a nonprofit corporation that serves seventeen neighborhood associations in southwest Portland. The committee meets every first Thursday of the month, usually at the Multnomah Arts Center. The public is always invited to attend. For more information, call Leonard at 503-8234592.

PP&R is reorganizing its structure. Current divisions are Director’s Office, Park & Recreation Services, City Nature, and Planning, Development & Assets. New divisions are Support Services, Assets & Development, Recreation Services, Land Stewardship, and Urban Forestry. The biggest change might be the new Land Stewardship Division. The current structure distinguishes between natural areas, which are administered by City Nature, and developed parks, which are administered

PP&R REORGANIZATION

by Park & Recreation Services. But there is not a clear distinction between natural areas and developed parks. Developed parks like Gabriel Park have natural components like forested areas and natural areas have developed components like trails. So the new structure will establish a new Land Stewardship Division that manages park lands and a new Recreation Services Division that focuses on recreation. The reorganization is taking place over time. It started in November of 2015. There will be outreach to stakeholder organizations. The plan will be incorporated into the bureau budget. Reorganization is scheduled to be completed by July 2016.

will re-establish oak tree habitat and understory along the Macadam edge of the park. The Water Bureau in the fall will build the east side trail. One of the primary big goals that came out of the 2012 Willamette Park Redevelopment Plan effort was to keep as much flexible open space as possible. Design details include monuments and walls. Gabion walls will be used (with steel frame boxes and mesh wire). Six entry monument markers will cost about $30,000. Six-foot high markers will establish the northern boundary of the park near the sailing club.

There will also be entry markers at the south boundary at the entry to SW Miles. Alternatives for caps on the monuments include glass and metal. The idea of a plaza entry at SW Miles shown in the 2012 planning process was dropped.

STRONG like YOU. I’m STRONG

The Southwest Community Center Personal Trainers share their favorite moves for the Outdoor Training Zone to keep your workout fun and challenging.

GaiL:

The Outdoor Training Zone is a perfect place to stretch and work on flexibility. Generally all you will need is a mat and possibly a yoga strap. Here is a general stretching routine (avoid stretches that cause discomfort and ask the trainer on duty for assistance if needed): Knees to chest (lie on back, hold knees to chest), hamstring stretch lying on your back (use yoga strap if desired), child’s pose, hip flexor stretch (kneeling or standing, interlace hands in front of body and stretch arms up overhead with palms facing up). So why not take a few moments at the end of your workout to head outside, enjoy some fresh air and quiet, and relax with your favorite stretches?

Victoria:

8 Westside Parks

Oblique Slam: Stand with knees bent and face wall a few feet out. Holding a medicine ball, swing arms back to one side twisting your torso.

Drive powerful energy through slam against wall. Catch ball at bounce. Repeat other side.

Variation: side stance 10 REPS. Turn 180. Repeat.

503-823-PLAY

Wick:

Use our Training Ropes for a full-body strength, power, and cardio workout.

Alternating Wave: Start by facing the rope anchor point and holding the ropes waist level with palms facing in. Stabilize your stance with legs slightly bent, shoulder width apart, tighten your core, and begin lifting and slamming the ropes with alternating arms as fast as you can while keeping good form. You can lift and drop both arms at the same time for the Double Wave keeping ropes forward or bringing ropes down forcefully to the left side and right side alternately. To intensify the workout, you can move closer to the rope anchor point, deepen your squat position, or use jumping movements. The ropes can be used to add a cardio component to your strength-training program, add to your interval training, or as a full-body strength and conditioning workout. The versatility of the training ropes makes them a useful workout tool for beginners, athletes, and everyone in between!

CHRIS: The kettle bell swing is done with three basic positions. First start with your feet shoulder width apart and holding the kettlebell with both hands in a front shoulder raise position and make sure your chest is nice and high, so there isn’t any forward bend in the spine. Next, come down with your hips and knees flexing at the same rate as if you are in a down position for a deadlift making sure the knees stay behind the toes. The last move is done by exploding out of the down position through your heels, legs, hips, glutes, back, shoulders and arms making sure the arms are strain and the knees and hips extend at the same rate finishing with the arms at least at a 90 degree angle from the torso. This full body movement is great for correcting posture and for burning a lot of calories. Start with a light weight with high reps making sure to have control of the weight and a full range of motion.

John: The kettlebell shuttle will challenge your core and

upper body strength and should only be performed after a proper warm up. Begin by placing a kettle bell on the ground and getting into a high plank position (as if getting ready to perform a pushup).

The kettle bell should be to your side at about chest level. Next, while keeping your core engaged, and avoiding any rotation in the hips, reach across under your body with the opposite hand (in other words, if the bell is on your right, reach across with your left hand) grab the bell and shuttle it to your left, set it down, repeat by reaching under with your right hand to return it to its starting position. That’s one rep! Add 2-3 sets of 10 reps into your routine to really give your core a good workout. Want a little extra? Add a pushup between reps!
