Spring Garden Park

FIVE ACRES OF NEEDED GREEN SPACE IN SOUTHWEST PORTLAND By: Mark Ross, Public Information Officer Portland Parks Commissioner Amanda Fritz announces that revenue from development in Portland (known as System Development Charges, or SDCs) will fund the upcoming development of Spring Garden Park. The park site is located in Portland’s Multnomah neighborhood, an area noted as lacking in parks and park services. Currently, the City has nine parcels of southwest Portland parkland, but no funding to develop them.

Southwest Neighborhoods, Inc., (SWNI) ranked Spring Garden Park as a top priority for development when revenue from SDCs became available. SDCs, by state law, can only be used to pay for growth projects such as new parks. They cannot be used to pay for replacement or major maintenance in existing parks.

The developed Spring Garden Park will be paid for using System Development Charges – revenue from construction across the city, as opposed to tax dollars - to provide a neighborhood park to 1,359 nearby households, including 128 homes which currently have no access to a park or natural area within the Parks 2020 goal of ½ mile. The park site at 3332 SW Spring Garden St. encompasses nearly five acres of land in a park-deficient part of the city.

Park access in the area is hampered by the nearby presence of I-5, Barbur Blvd, Capital Hwy and Multnomah Blvd. Right now, one of those major thoroughfares has to be crossed in order to reach any park or natural area nearby. Spring Garden Park will close this play gap. Total project funds of $1.5 million in SDCs are designated towards Spring Garden Park, though final costs will be dependent on the park’s final design.

“The gaps in our system are significant in southwest Portland, so we are doing what we can with SDC dollars,” says Portland Parks Commissioner Amanda Fritz. “We’ve been working with an amazing group of community stakeholders since 2007, and Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) staff and I are thrilled to steer their proactive efforts and diligent focus towards a muchneeded new neighborhood park in an underserved part of the City.”

The Bureau of Environmental Services (BES) built a storm water basin and wildlife habitat area last year in part of the park.

BES also re-established an above-ground creek located towards the bottom of the hill in the park. The creek previously flowed underground. The park’s final design will incorporate those changes as well.

“I am thrilled that the Friends of Spring Garden Park - and their many community partners - will finally see their vision of connecting children to nature realized,” says Sylvia Bogert, Executive Director of Southwest Neighborhoods, Inc. “It is heartwarming to know future generations will be able to enjoy this special park and learn to cherish the natural world. We are grateful to Commissioner Fritz for finding a way to fund our dream.”

The Spring Garden Park Master Plan calls for features designed to create connections with neighbors and park visitors. When complete, the park is planned to have: • Picnic area and lawn • New playground and places to sit • Park paths for walking • Grassy meadow with native grasses for picnics or free play • New trees for shade, cleaner air, rest and reflection • Park entry points with signs • Other amenities to build on the land’s features and existing improvements

Nature Playground

Currently, Spring Garden Park is the site of a temporary nature-based playground, installed at the park November 2011 thanks to collaboration between PP&R, Friends of Spring Garden Park, and Umpqua Bank's Multnomah Village Store. The nature play area was designed to be temporary, and lies on the site proposed for the new play area in the park’s Master Plan. It is possible that Portland Parks & Recreation could look at incorporating all or part of the nature play area into the new park’s design. However, we will review the feasibility of this as part of the community conversations during project planning. We are excited to be building PP&R’s first permanent nature play area in the current Westmoreland Park renovations.

Next Steps

A Portland Parks & Recreation project manager will be touching base with the neighborhood coalition, neighborhoods and the Friends of Spring Garden Park this fall on project timeline and specifics. Further design work is expected to begin in 2015, with construction expected to begin in 2016.

The Spring Garden Park site was acquired in 1999, and the park currently has a Master Plan. Park planning and development will be in alignment with the Master Plan. PP&R will continue a community conversation to ensure that the Plan meets the community’s needs of today. We extend our thanks to Friends of Spring Garden Park, the Bureau of Environmental Services, Multnomah Neighborhood Association, Southwest Neighborhoods, Inc., and local businesses for their support of the park project.

For more information, call 503-823-5300 or visit portlandparks.org.

“I look forward to watching our kids grow up in this park, and to passing down the legacy of nature play from generation to generation.”

The following comments have come to my desk over the past six months and they reflect the feelings we all have for Blaine: “I am delinquent in penning this observation and appreciation regarding Blaine.

Portland Parks & Recreation - Fall 2014

SW Neighborhoods Parks and Community Centers Committee

By Leonard Gard, Program Manager, SWNI

Funding Secured for Spring Garden Park Southwest Portland got good news recently when Portland Parks Commissioner Amanda Fritz announced that $1.5 million from system development charges—fees that property developers pay to the city, as opposed to tax dollars—will fund development of Spring Garden Park. Improvements will include a new playground and places to sit, paths, trees, and signage. Commissioner Fritz’s office invited SW Neighborhoods to identify the park sites it most wanted funded.

The Parks Committee chose Spring Garden Park first in a tight vote, and the SW Neighborhoods board approved.

For a listing of possible volunteer opportunities check out the Portland Parks Foundation website at www.parklandia.org/ parkediem.

Spring Garden Park is a rectangular 4.65-acre park in the Multnomah neighborhood between 32nd and 35th streets. The park has a flat area at the south, upper end at Dolph Ct. Then the park slopes downward to its north end at Spring Garden St. There’s a nice view to the north from the south end. The undeveloped park has a location that gives it importance for the community, and one that Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) recognizes as being underserved by parks and green spaces. Spring Garden Park is just south of the Multnomah Village and its growing population, and is just north of Barbur Blvd, which will probably have more residential living in the future.

PP&R acquired the property in 1999 from Portland Public Schools. For many years the property has remained as a grassy field, often used to exercise dogs. Then, in 2009, Multnomah resident Lori Howell formed the Friends of Spring of Garden Park, a subcommittee of the Multnomah Neighborhood Association. Things started happening. The Friends held fundraising events and playtime events for children. Umpqua Bank picked three community projects and asked the community to vote for their favorite. The Friends organized a strong vote for Spring Garden Park, which won the contest, and received money that funded a small nature play area in the park.

Then, in 2013, the Bureau of Environmental Services completed a major project to restore a tributary of Tryon Creek at the north end of the park—taking the creek out of a buried pipe and recreating a surface stream.

As mentioned in a related article on this topic, a Portland Parks & Recreation project manager will be reaching out to the community this fall with information on project timeline and specifics. Further design work is expected to begin in 2015, with construction expected to begin in 2016.

River View Natural Area In 2011, the City of Portland bought a 146-acre tract of land from River View Cemetery. That land is now called the River View Natural Area (RVNA). The Parks website reports that the land contains seven streams and is home for 130 plant species, 31 mammal species, and 74 bird species. Since the acquisition, Portland Parks & Recreation has removed invasive plants in much of RVNA, and has planted 50,000 plants and shrubs.

The City project team is now working on technical issues, and, in particular the alignment of trails within the natural area and ecological prescriptions. They will first map resources, and then align trails to create an interior preserve and protect resources.

The project advisory committee will tentatively meet next fall. Fran will call Emily Roth before the next Friends of RVNA meeting.

Portland Parks & Recreation is scheduled to release a draft plan for River View Natural Area before the end of the year. Project Advisory Committee meeting and Community Open House opportunities for public feedback start back up in the fall.

SW Watershed Resource Center One of SWNI’s services to the local community is the SW Watershed Resource Center, located in the SWNI office. The center is a joint project of SWNI and the city Bureau of Environmental Services. Jen Seamans is the center manager and works to develop watershed projects with SW Portland volunteers and landowners.

Among other duties, Jen supports the SW Friends groups dedicated to restoring and preserving natural areas. There are two relatively new friends groups that you might consider joining. Gary Miniszewski recently founded Friends of Gabriel Park. Contact Gary at garyminizewski@gmail.com. For River View Natural Area, mentioned above, contact Fran Laird at friendsofriverviewnaturalarea@gmail.com.

Parke Diem In partnership with Portland Parks & Recreation and Portland Parks Foundation, many Friends groups will host Parke Diem events on the morning of Saturday, October 11, 2014.

LAP SWIM (Lap Pool): We will make every attempt to have 1-2 lap lanes available, at all times, for adult lap swimmers. Up to 6 lap lanes will be available at designated times, call 503-823-2840 for a complete schedule of lap lanes available during operating hours.

PAC (Portland Aquatic Club): Mon-Fri 4pm-5:30pm PIL: Mon-Fri 7:30pm-9:00pm (Nov. 17-Feb. 13) Jesuit: Mon-Fri 2:45pm-4pm (Nov. 17-Feb. 13) LAP SWIM ETIQUETTE: “Circle Swimming” is necessary when more than two people are in a lane.

Lane lines divide lap lanes. Think of the lane as a highway, always stay on the right hand side. Like a highway lap lanes may become crowded, at these times “circle swimming” is a necessity. Lap lanes are designated according to a swimmer’s speed: slow, medium, and fast. Look at the yellow markers at the end of the pool to find your appropriate lane.

Water Workouts Exercising in the water cushions the impact, reducing stress on the joints while supporting the muscles and promoting more efficient toning. Twelve times more resistant than air, water allows triple strength gains over land aerobics! In addition, heart rates are lower in the water, allowing for optimal fat burning and less fatigue.

Check out our shallow or deep-water classes, and enjoy the benefits!

Ai Chi: Ai Chi is a water-based total body strengthening and relaxation progression that bridges East and West philosophies, and integrates mental, physical and spiritual energy. It combines Tai-Chi and Qi Gong concepts with Watsu techniques and is performed standing in shoulder-depth warm water using a combination of deep breathing and slow, broad movements of the arms, legs and torso. It is an efficient exercise program that increases oxygen and caloric consumption through correct form and positioning in the water, a perfect relaxation technique and is ideal for creating improved range of motion, mobility and balance.
