The grant allows the district to continue and expand nature programing and workforce development for Latino students.

Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District’s annual holiday giving drive proved very successful, with more than 600 gifts donated by patrons and staff.

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 once again working with the Beaverton School District and other community partners to create a brighter holiday season for those in need in the Beaverton area. The district will collect toys, clothing and other items for selected families and homeless children; it will also collect personal hygiene products and linens for the Union Gospel Mission LifeChange Center for Women & Children.

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.

THPRD has scheduled a dedication ceremony during intermission of its regularly scheduled concert performance on July 13 at Timberland Park in Cedar Mill.

THPRD plans to invest in the repairs and reopen the play equipment at West Sylvan Park this summer; a public survey helped the district determine how to proceed with safety improvements at the park.
 

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.”

THPRD has completed two more major construction projects that will help meet recreational needs in the Beaverton area for years to come, including a trail segment that connects the Westside and Waterhouse trails.
