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.
A Strong Start to 2026 January reflected a strong start to the year for Lake Oswego Parks & Recreation, with high participation across programs, active facilities, and steady progress on planning and operations. The month included meaningful community engagement through collaborative events with the Library for the MLK Jr. Day Celebration, continued momentum in planning for the 2026 Farmers’ Market and Young Entrepreneur Program, and robust recreation activity at LORAC, the Tennis Center, and the Adult Community Center. Staff focused on supporting daily operations, maintaining parks and natural areas, and advancing planning efforts that support both near-term needs and long-term priorities. At the same time, teams worked to prepare facilities, programs, and services for the busy seasons ahead continuing to deliver safe, inclusive, and well-used experiences that serve the community across all ages, interests, and abilities.
