The Hermiston Parks & Recreation Department will host a park planning open house on Thursday, Feb. 9.
The event takes place from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Hermiston Community Center.
The parks department is inviting the public to share their input on Hermiston’s newest park, a one-acre park located at N.E. Sixth Street and E. Bella Vista Avenue off E. Punkin Center Road.
Topics to be discussed include naming the park, features of the park, playground design and landscaping. Children are encouraged to attend help plan their ideal park.
More information is available on the department’s webpage.
When is the construction for the new skate park starting
All the parks have been locked up for two and a half years. There are security fences around facilities in most, if not all of them. Has anyone thought this through?
Which parks in Hermiston are locked up? Are the fences invisible??
I have not been to all the parks recently but Newport Park has restrooms that have been locked for years. Fences surround the building. Visible ones. McKenzie Park has the Gazebo fenced and so is the food prep area shelter. These are visible fences also. The only one I’ve found with an unlocked restroom is Riverfront Park. Again, I haven’t been to all of them. Maybe I will take a ride and go see them all. What about in a few months? What’s to stop the city from closing up more of them?
Is it prudent to pay for a new park and then lock it up? The lawn and grounds still have to be maintained, even if w can’t use the facilities. We are talking about tax money and lots of it. Why don’t we use our heads? My taxes have doubled since I bought here twenty years ago. My income has not.
Should we make some progress with the homeless problem, tagging and vandalism etc. before investing in more parks we can’t use? Maybe we should wait on new parks until we open and use the parks we have now.
