THPRD News: Awards

District volunteers joined forces with the City of Beaverton and other partners to help the Five Oaks Triple Creek Neighborhood Association Committee take home first place in the Neighborhoods, USA Neighborhood of the Year Beautification award.

For the third consecutive year, the district has been selected as a finalist for the National Gold Medal Award for Excellence in Park and Recreation Management.

Morrison has been a volunteer coach at THPRD for two seasons. The award – which automatically entered him in the running for national Jr. NBA Coach of the Year – has not surprisingly given him extra incentive to continue.

THPRD has been honored with the Edwards Center’s Employment Award for more than three decades of providing job opportunities to adults with developmental disabilities.The accolade was presented in Portland as part of the Edwards Center’s 11th annual awareness-building and fundraising luncheon.

THPRD has successfully become just the fourth Oregon agency -- and one of just 155 nationwide -- to earn accreditation from the Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies (CAPRA).
