VISION FOR THE WATERFRONT AREA
Why build the Waterfront Community Park? Hood River County has been missing a key link between the Columbia River and our residents.
Our waterfront park will fill the needs of a diverse population, from school children to seniors.
The Waterfront Community Park Association believes our quality of life is improved through recreational
opportunities, family gathering places and enjoyment of our scenic riverfront landscapes. A Hood River
waterfront park created within these guidelines is one that our community will take great pride in for generations to come!

Frank Rudloff).

"Our responsibility to future generations is to protect, enjoy, enhance, and pass on an excellent park system. We can afford what we want.
We recall in special times when we stood briefly, but magnificently, united. In those times no prize was beyond our grasp. We must leave a
legacy." Rev. Dr. T. Allen Bethel, Pastor
