DIRECTOR REPORT DIRECTOR REPORT 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.
Building Momentum Across Programs, Facilities, Community Events, and City Department Collaboration February showcased strong participation, program advancements, and collaboration across Lake Oswego Parks & Recreation. In partnership with the Lake Oswego Fire Department, we successfully hosted two well-attended Hands-Only CPR training sessions in honor of American Heart Month. Additionally, our collaboration with the Library Rover brought enrichment to families during Indoor Play at LORAC. Staff has also secured over $41,000 in confirmed sponsorships (to date) for the Summer Concert Series and Farmers’ Market, enhancing support for free and accessible community events. LORAC experienced high engagement levels in fitness, aquatics, enrichment, and sports, supported by new communication and customer service tools that enhanced efficiency and outreach to program participants. Luscher Farm and Community Gardens prepared for spring with orientations and sustainability initiatives, while Parks staff made progress on seasonal projects, including “Tree of the Week” videos to celebrate Arbor Month (April), athletic field preparation, and natural area stewardship.
