Director Report November 1 - 30, 2024 Lake Oswego Parks & Recreation's mission is to Build Community, Enrich Lives, and Care for the Urban and Natural Environment. This report is a look back and summary of operations supporting our mission and promise of excellent services to the people of Lake Oswego.
This cherished tradition made a spectacular return on November 29, drawing record-breaking attendance and bringing the community together to kick off the holiday season. The event was filled with joy as Santa arrived in style on a Lake Oswego Fire Department truck. Guests also enjoyed cheerful encounters with Olaf and the Holiday Bear, while holiday music created a festive atmosphere. The park buzzed with activity, offering delicious food, unique holiday gifts, and picturesque photo opportunities. The seamless collaboration between the Chamber of Commerce, the Mayor, our events team, and the Parks Department—whose stunning lights and impeccable maintenance made Millennium Plaza Park shine—is a true testament to the spirit of community and the heart of what we do!
