BES project nearly completed around Garden Home

Fanno Creek Trail

Just a heads up, but after a long winter of construction, the city of Portland's Bureau of Environmental Services is wrapping up work around the Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District’s Garden Home Recreation Center.

The installation of a new pressure sewer pipe from SW 86th Avenue to SW 69th Avenue along Multnomah Boulevard resulted in the closure of the north end of the Garden Home parking lot since November. It also closed down a stretch of the Fanno Creek Trail, the outdoor play field, and the playground at recreation facility.

Fanno Creek Trail is now completely open between SW Oleson Road and SW 86th, said John Gaddis of THPRD’s Natural Resources Department.

Superintendent of Recreation Eric Owens said a new play structure has been installed and is now open to the public. Trenches in the play field have been filled and need only to be reseeded to complete the restoration process.

Owens said the parking lot, which needs to be resurfaced with pervious asphalt, should be completed sometime in April. When completed, the area will hold 36 parking spaces.
