Garden Home Recreation Center

Garden Home Recreation Center, originally constructed as a school in 1912, was purchased by THPRD in 1986 to provide recreational programs and classes of the highest quality that are affordable, accessible and safe.

Our classes and programs are intended to enrich lives, stimulate minds, incorporate fun and creativity, and enhance confidence, self-worth, health and well-being.

The center is an access point to the historic Oregon Electric Railroad section of the Fanno Creek Trail.
