GET INVOLVED

Would you like to get involved? Please accept our open invitation to attend our monthly board meetings. You'll find out our latest projects and what we are working on. Second Tuesday of the month, 6 PM at Nunamaker Realtors at 2495 Cascade Avenue in Hood River (call 541.386.5579 to confirm).

The park is being developed in two phases over a time period of several years. The first phase involved the major groundwork, including earth moving, engineering, and lots of heavy equipment. It was completed in August of 2008. The second phase is what we'd consider the "fun" phase: selecting and placing play equipment, planting trees, dedicating benches, etc. Click here to see a drawing of proposed landscaping.

WE NEED YOUR HELP in both phases! Please consider getting involved in one or more areas listed below.
