THPRD News: 2008 Bond Measure

The Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District (THPRD) is happy to announce the acquisition of 25-acres along Bronson Creek for wildlife habitat conservation and future public access. The site represents the largest single natural area purchase of the district’s 2008 bond measure.

In order to begin construction that will bring a variety of improvements to Cedar Hills Park, the park will be closed starting Jan. 8, 2018 except for a pedestrian pathway from William Walker Elementary School to Cedar Hills Boulevard.

THPRD is asking the public’s help in the planning of a new 2.5-acre park in Aloha. Neighbors can sign up to discuss their wants and needs for the new park, which will be located at SW 187th Avenue and SW Bonnie Meadow Lane.

Mountain View Champions Park, a 21.5-acre site in Aloha featuring Oregon’s first athletic field for people of all abilities, will open to the public on Oct. 2. Join THPRD at a grand opening celebration on Oct. 14 from 3 to 6 pm.

At its June 13th meeting, THPRD’s Board of Directors unanimously approved the proposed master plan concept for a new neighborhood park to be constructed in Aloha in 2019.

THPRD's Board of Directors have approved “Mountain View Champions Park” as the name of a new 21.5-acre community park in Aloha now in the final stages of construction.

THPRD’s board of directors reached general agreement on a permanent name for a new 21.5-acre park in Aloha that will open to the public later this year. If adopted by the board in May, the park will be named “Mountain View Champions Park.”

Moving aggressively to take advantage of opportunities in the financial markets, THPRD has reduced the fiscal impact of the 2008 bond measure. Through favorable bond sales and refinancings, the district has reduced taxpayer liability by $31 million.
 

THPRD has begun construction of a 21.5-acre community park in Aloha and at three other sites to meet the growing recreational needs of residents of the greater Beaverton area.

THPRD has begun construction on a small but significant connection in its popular trail system. With funding from its voter-approved 2008 bond measure, THPRD is now working to link the Westside Trail to the Waterhouse Trail.
