New Neighborhood Park in the Bonnie Meadow Area

Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District is developing this new 2.5-acre park in the Aloha-Reedville area. Upon completion in 2020, this park will serve thousands of underserved residents in a diverse, mixed-density residential neighborhood.

Approved Master Plan

A neighborhood open house to review the draft preferred master plan was held in June of 2018 and the Board of Directors approved the preferred master plan on August of 2018. THPRD is currently in the process of finalizing the park’s construction documents, and site permits have been submitted to Washington County. THPRD anticipates advertising for construction bids in early February for construction in the spring of 2020. Construction is currently scheduled to be finished in the fall of 2020. (See the TIMELINE tab below for more info on the park’s timeline.)

Community input was an essential component of our planning and design process. We engaged local park neighbors and other district residents to ensure that this park's master plan was informed by the community's needs, desires and concerns.
The approved master plan is available to view in the DOCUMENTS & MEDIA in the column on the right side of this page.

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.
