New Neighborhood Park in the Bonnie Meadow Area

Park Named

The park is officially named Pío Pío Park. Pío Pío (pee-oe pee-oe) is a Spanish word for the chirp chirp sound birds make in the park’s big trees. The name offers all ages a chance to learn that animal sounds are different in different languages. Visitors can listen closely to see if they can hear the birds sing pío pío.Thank you to all our community partners and members who shared input on the park and the new park name.

Construction Update

THPRD began construction on Pío Pío Park in the summer of 2020 and is continuing as roadwork on SW 187th Ave is being finished. All construction at this site is now anticipated to be completed in April. Construction includes all park amenities according to the Master Plan, approved by the board of directors based on community input. The entire site is closed to the public during construction. Lanes along Bonnie Meadow Ln & SW 187th Ave will be periodically closed for road construction with flaggers and safety signage to provide direction.

***Please note: All plans are subject to change***

Description

The entire site is relatively flat. The northern end and the southeast corner are covered by a canopy of oaks, firs and ponderosa pine trees, while the remaining property consists of open field. In 2014, the property was acquired by THRPD with 2008 bond measure funds earmarked for new park acquisition.

At this site, F.N. Mitchell became a recognized authority in poultry raising, and later manufactured wire baskets. Mitchell Wire Products produced and shipped up to 50,000 baskets a year to destinations around the world.
