Fanno Creek Park is located behind Tigard City Hall between Hall Boulevard and Main Street Fanno Creek Park This natural area along a stretch of Fanno Creek is a wonderful place to take a quiet walk, enjoy a picnic, view wildlife, catch crawfish, and let the hustle-bustle of urban life melt away. This floodplain area is a grassy, wooded wetland that provides habitat for a variety of wildlife. Plans are under consideration for the expansion of this park near the new Tigard Library. Fanno Creek Park Extension The City Council approved the 9.7 acre Fanno Creek Park Extension Master Plan on May 27th. The city has applied for a grant to install the extension of the Fanno Creek Trail. The park will be developed as a "natural environment" park with open spaces, wetlands, flora and fauna, and limited bridges, boardwalks and soft trails. There will be a large, meadow field where public gatherings and events can take place. The Library will use the park for educational and recreational uses. There is an abundance of flora and fauna on the site and interpretive signage will be installed where appropriate. Fanno Creek Park Master Plan
Through a joint effort of the team of Murase Associates, KPFF Consulting
Engineers, PBS Environmental Engineers; Tigard City staff; and interested citizens,
this Master Plan has been developed to guide the long term development and
protection that will occur in this area. Facilities and improvements identified
in the Master Plan will help integrate the park into the larger Fanno Creek
trail system as well as serve to connect this valuable green space with
adjacent public facilities and adjacent properties.Fanno Creek Master Plan You will need the FREE Adobe Acrobat Reader to view this PDF file. |
