Project Background

The City Council is exploring ways to expand and improve Gresham’s park system, with plans in the works for Gresham's undeveloped neighborhood and community parks. This is a multi-year Council Work Plan item.
Gresham has six undeveloped parks that include open space or natural areas with no recreational amenities. Two of the six parks are classified as community parks that serve the entire city and provide recreation for all age groups, from easy picnicking and walking to active sports and play areas.
Each undeveloped park has been broken up into 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:
Southwest Community Park
Southeast Community Park
East Gresham Neighborhood Park
Jenne Butte Neighborhood Park
Southeast Neighborhood Park
Columbia View Neighborhood Park
