Director Report January 1 - 31, 2025 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.
Exciting progress continues at the Lake Oswego Recreation & Aquatics Center as the facility takes shape, bringing us closer to opening day. The parking lot is partially paved, with ongoing work on curbs, gutters, and landscaping, adding some of the finishing touches to the outdoor spaces. Inside, the weight and cardio area is being prepped for fitness equipment, which will arrive in February, while the gymnasium floor is fully complete, showcasing fresh striping and the City logo. Both pools have been tiled, plastered, and filled in the Natatorium, with work on the spa and mechanical systems moving forward. IT infrastructure installation has begun, and the office area furniture arrives the first week in February. Across the site, landscaping, fencing, and pathways are being finalized, enhancing connectivity and accessibility. As the vision for LORAC comes to life, it’s exciting to see the transformation from construction to a nearly finished community hub that will soon welcome the community for recreation, fitness, and aquatic programs.
