It’s Time for a Master Plan for George Rogers Park



To:  The Lake Oswego Parks Board


George Rogers Park Needs Attention!  

  • What about a "maintenance bond" to bring it back to its glory?

  • What about a "walk about" field trip for the Parks Advisory Board to see with your own eyes what condition the park is in?  Especially the "entrance" to the park off Ladd Street between the tennis courts and fields that so many people use when coming for events and games.  Hint:  it's not safe.  It's not pretty.  It's not ADA compliant.  

  • What about investing in buying or renting the commercial properties on Ladd Street so there is more parking for ALL the people who come to use the park for "the beach" and the locals who come to use the park for all the other reasons?

  • What about "balancing" and "shifting" park visitors to get more people to go to Foothills, Rohr or other parks in the summer where there is enough parking?  

  • What about asking the awesome Park Rangers and Park Maintenance Crew to come to one of your meetings to share their experiences with park visitors in the summer?  And to hear their recommendations?  

  • What about adding pathways that are usable for people using strollers or in wheelchairs? Most of the paths now end in dirt or stairs. 

  • What about getting the City to repave Ladd Street that is right next to the Park?

  • What about focusing on making parking safe for people visiting the playground?

  • What about coming up with a vision and master plan for GRP?

  • What about offering locals designated parking spaces with permits so they can park near the fields and enjoy the park they fund?  (Shasta Lake does this)

  • What about closing the park when it's overloaded like Sauvie Island does?  


Here's what the park is like in the summer:
