Construction

Mt. Tabor Yard serves as the central dispatch for PP&R maintenance and nursery services for over 140 employees who are responsible for maintaining parks facilities and services across the city.

Thanks to the Parks Replacement Bond, improvements will be made at the Urban Forestry Yard. The project includes construction of a new covered and secure storage area for large equipment and an enclosed shop building.

The master plan for SE 150th and Division Street Park reflects a collaborative effort involving neighbors and community groups to create a welcoming space with activities for people of all ages.

The project is in the design phase. We completed a geotechnical probe in August 2020 and more studies from January to March 2021. We are currently working with the contractor to refine and solidify construction plans, methods, and timelines to begin construction in fall 2022.
