North Clackamas Parks and Recreation District (NCPRD) is updating the districtwide System Plan, which will shape the foundation for the future of the District. The System Plan will be informed and driven by research, analysis, and public input, including diverse and underserved voices in the community. The System Plan is expected to be completed by summer 2025.

Concord Property Project

A new park, community center and library are planned for the Concord Property in Oak Lodge! The synergy of the three facilities on the same property will create endless opportunities for recreation, enrichment and social connection. Park features include a nature-based playground, a multi-use playfield, picnic areas, walking paths, benches, and plaza with amphitheater and interactive splash pad.

Construction has started and the project is expected to be completed by fall 2025. The Concord facility will be closed until further notice and programs relocated until construction is complete.

Park at Jennings Lodge Campus

NCPRD is partnering with the Oregon City School District (OCSD) to explore cooperatively developing a neighborhood park on the Jennings Lodge Campus. The park would provide new recreational opportunities, amenities and community spaces to residents in the area.

Milwaukie Bay Park Final Design

Milwaukie Bay Park is a scenic park near downtown Milwaukie along the Willamette River. It is located just off McLoughlin Boulevard between Kellogg Creek to the south and Johnson Creek to the north. In a joint effort, the City of Milwaukie and the North Clackamas Parks and Recreation District are updating the design to complete Milwaukie Bay Park – including creating places at the park for people to gather, play, and enjoy nature. The final design focuses specifically on the approximately 2.5-acre grassy area between McLoughlin/OR99E and the riverside path.

North Clackamas Park – North Side

Phase 1 of the North Clackamas Park North Side Master Plan, including the Restoration of Mt. Scott Creek, is complete.

The area north of Camas Creek represents an opportunity to create a passive recreation setting with an emphasis on environmental enhancement and education to balance the active recreation opportunities south of the creek. The key goal of the plan is to minimize environmental and property impacts, provide for ease of maintenance over time, while creating a safe and enjoyable experience for the community. The Milwaukie City Council has approved the plan as an ancillary document to the Milwaukie Comprehensive Plan.

RECENTLY COMPLETED PROJECTS

Boardman Wetlands Project

The Boardman Wetlands Project is the result of partnerships between Oak Lodge Water Services District, North Clackamas Parks and Recreation District, Clackamas County and other community partners. The 5.8-acre park is part of the larger Boardman-Rinearson Watershed Complex, and is now complete and open to the public.

The project delivers multiple benefits including ecosystem and stream health improvements, as well as recreational and educational opportunities. Park features include a nature play area, outdoor educational areas and a scenic boardwalk trail loop.

Rose Creek Trail

The Rose Creek Trail runs through the Sunnyside Village neighborhood and connects area residents with several NCPRD parks, WES natural areas, Oregon Trail School and other community assets. The .45 miles of new and improved trail stretches from SE 142nd Avenue, through Sieben Park, and eastward onto SE 152nd Avenue. North Clackamas Parks and Recreation District (NCPRD) and Water Environmental Services (WES), were awarded grant funds from the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department Recreational Trails Program to transform what was once an informal dirt path into a safe and functional trail. The newly developed Rose Creek Trail consists of compacted, crushed rock which forms a firm tread for pedestrian use.

The trail runs parallel to Rose Creek, a part of the Clackamas River Watershed. E‑orts are underway by project partner WES to protect and improve water quality, manage urban stormwater flows, stabilize eroding stream banks and enhance degraded riparian habitat. The Rose Creek Trail provides opportunities for residents to learn more about the local ecosystem, while enjoying active recreation close to home.

Wichita Park Project

Nestled in the heart of the Linwood neighborhood in Milwaukie is a new 1-acre neighborhood park. North Clackamas Parks and Recreation District is proud to have partnered with the City of Milwaukie and the Linwood Neighborhood Association to help bring the community’s vision for Wichita Park to life. Wichita Park is now open for all to enjoy and provides a place for neighbors to gather, play and connect.
