The City Council is exploring ways to expand and improve
Gresham’s park system, including undeveloped neighborhood and community parks. This is a multi-year Council Work Plan item.

different zones. The zones represent areas for specific activities, such as play areas, dog parks or wildlife viewing. The zones help define areas where we want to protect and preserve the natural environment while maximizing opportunities to activate other areas for public use.
Based on analysis of the unique existing conditions and feedback on the zones diagram during public engagement meetings, the following concept plans were developed:
