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.
March has been a busy and productive month for Lake Oswego Parks & Recreation as we prepare for the spring and summer seasons. Community engagement is on the rise, with 30 new volunteers joining our existing group of 45, and there is strong momentum building for our signature events such as the Farmers’ Market and the 2026 Summer Concert Series. Our parks and natural areas are thriving, with seasonal maintenance in full swing, amenities reopening, and volunteers actively participating in stewardship efforts throughout the system. This month, we also submitted applications for the National Gold Medal Award and the NRPA Innovation in Equity Award, highlighting our dedication to accessibility and excellence. Significant projects are progressing, with funding approval for the Willamette River Greenway Trail. We remain committed to providing high-quality experiences and maintaining parks, programs, and spaces that benefit the entire community.
