Oak Grove residents, it's time to put your creative caps on. The North Clackamas Parks and Recreation District (NCPRD) is calling for community members to engage in the naming of a new park and community center anticipated to open this fall, and your input is crucial. According to an announcement, the site, which includes the former Concord Elementary School, is going under the knife—expect essential safety updates, ADA improvements, and a touch of modernization.
Interested locals can throw their name ideas into the hat via a brief online form that asks for your suggestion, the reasoning behind it, and some basic contact details. You've got until 5 p.m. on May 9 to make your mark. If you're into analog, printed forms are up for grabs at the Milwaukie Community Center. The end goal here is simple: find a name that embodies community values, our collective history, and the sort of inclusivity that makes Oak Grove unique.
Each submission will face the scrutiny of a naming committee before a top recommendation lands on the desk of the NCPRD Board of Directors for final approval. The NCPRD's announcement provides insight into the criteria and guidelines shaping this communal brainstorm.
