Introducing Recuerdo Park

THPRD aspires to name parks after the people, cultures, and natural features of our region. Names should welcome all people and inspire us. Recuerdo Park was chosen through an inclusive engagement effort to honor the diverse experiences and identities of our community. Crowell Woods was a temporary name meant to be updated after park completion.

Recuerdo (rreh-kwehr-doh) is a Spanish word for memory, remembrance, and keepsake. The name evokes a place to gather in memory and community, and that has the potential to serve as a reminder of history, culture, and people.

Share your input on this new name by taking this short survey in English or Spanish by Sunday, December 6.

Description

This new park will be located within a mixed-density residential neighborhood in the Aloha area of Washington County. The site is composed of three properties located west of SW 170th Ave and north of SW Merlo Rd. The properties form a forested buffer around a small creek that flows through the neighborhood from the northeast to the southeast.


Parcel A is located to the southwest of the Crowell Woods Natural area. As with Crowell Woods, future amenities on this property will be limited by the presence of existing trees and required setbacks from the creek.

The Crowell Woods Natural Area is a small, undeveloped parcel that connects Parcel A and Parcel B. It is accessed via a footpath and bridge off of SW Beaver Court. Future amenities on this property will be limited by required setbacks from the creek.

Parcel B is located in the northeast corner of the planning area. This is the largest of the three properties and will be best suited to any "active" park amenities such as play and picnic areas, though it may also be used as a natural area. This property currently includes a private residence and is not open to public access at this time.

Nearby sites: Tualatin Hills Nature Park, TVWD Athletic Fields- Merlo, Melilah Park, Willow Creek Greenway, Whispering Woods Natural Area, Waterhouse Linear Park
