THPRD Planning New Neighborhood Park at SW Baker & Lombard | El Distrito de Parques y Recreación de Tualatin Hills (THPRD) planea un nuevo parque del barrio en SW Baker & Lombard
March 10, 2021
THPRD announces the planning and design of a future neighborhood park at the northwest corner of SW Baker St and SW Lombard Ave.
La Raíz (rrah-ees) Park will be located within Beaverton's Vose neighborhood. The project will develop 2 acres of park along the SW Lombard Ave corridor with access to city bicycle lanes and sidewalks. The site was a previous residence for over 80-years and features beautiful mature trees. THPRD plans to balance the community’s needs for park amenities with the preservation of the mature trees.
This new neighborhood park will mainly serve local community members. Community engagement is a vital part of our planning and design process. THPRD will continue working with community members to keep them informed about the project's development.
