POSTED JANUARY 12, 2018
(Portland, OR) –
For a bit of winter inspiration – construction of the playground at Ventura Park is complete and the new features are open for play! Despite the rainy January weather, Portland Parks & Recreation hosted an informal play day with hot chocolate on Thursday, January 11, 2018. We expect a formal grand opening later this spring.
The latest Parks Replacement Bond project features a partnership with Playform for a spectacular play area. The playground, adjacent to Ventura Park Elementary School in the David Douglas School District, was in serious need of replacement. Now area children (in a part of Portland still lacking in parks and green spaces) have a sparkling new space to run, play, and to make new friends. Also included in the project: a new Portland Loo and public art. This project was also partially funded by Parks System Development Charges from citywide construction development, not General Fund tax dollars.
