The Planning and Design & Development departments collaborate with departments across THPRD, local partners and agencies, and community members to plan, design, and develop parks and trails throughout the district.

Currently, project managers are hard at work developing several new Projects in Progress, as well as final projects for the 2008 Bond Measure. For more information on district planning, please visit the following resources:

• 2023 Strategic Plan
• Parks Functional Plan
• Trails Functional Plan

How do I get access to district property for home construction or maintenance projects?

With nicer weather returning to the region, we’re seeing an increase in people needing to use district property to access their yards for maintenance and construction projects. Anyone needing to cross or otherwise access district property needs to secure a Permit of Entry (POE) or Temporary Construction Easement (TCE) . Please contact Peter Swinton (p.swinton@thprd.org) or 971-724-8439. He will coordinate the process. Please allow up to two weeks for coordinating with the necessary departments. Information needed typically includes:

• Dates of service, gross vehicle weight and size, service route, etc.
• Exhibit of work area and impact to district property from the contractor
• Certificate of insurance
