Project Need: This project will protect Dirksen Nature Park’s more sensitive lands by providing one of two active play areas that will allow intensive outdoor play outside of natural resource areas.

Project Description: Construct a nature play area adjacent to the off-street parking area on Tigard Street. This small play area is intended to provide an area for younger children to freely play without disturbing the natural features of the park. Located near parking, it will not require a long walk. The play area will include Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible structures.

Operations and Maintenance Impact: Additional cost for maintenance of play features and surfacing.

Prioritization: Strategic Vision or Community
