After a two-year hiatus, Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R), the Project Advisory Committee, and design consultant the Office of Cheryl Barton are back at work on The Fields Neighborhood Park, refining the original concept plan and moving into schematic design.
Recent developments continue to move the long-awaited park, located at NW Overton and NW 11th Avenues, forward towards construction. Last fall, PP&R furthered the public involvement process and recruited two focus groups to provide much needed insight into two key park spaces: the Children’s Play Area and the Dog Area. The results: parents and child advocates clearly indicated the need for active, engaging, and kinetic activities; dog owners and advocates expressed concern over the size of the proposed dog area.
