Designing for undeveloped parks

The City is working with the community to identify potential recreation improvements for six undeveloped parks.

Undeveloped Parks Concept Plans

City Council is exploring ways to expand and improve Gresham’s park system, including undeveloped neighborhood and community parks.

Gresham has six undeveloped parks that include open space or natural areas with no recreational amenities.

Background information

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 is 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.

These concept plans were developed based on each park's unique existing conditions and the community's feedback on the zones during public engagement meetings.

Shaull Property

The Shaull property is a 7.9-acre property with wetlands and trees next to Southwest Community Park.

The City purchased the property in 2021 to protect the natural areas and provide greater access to the park.

This purchase received the most votes in a community survey.
