Meeting participants were then divided into three small breakout groups to discuss comments and suggest changes to the 14 identified gap areas. Service Area Mapping and Gap Areas Review Kyra and Matt gave a brief overview of the service area mapping process conducted for the Needs Assessment as well as instructions for the interactive mapping activity during the small group breakout sessions. They described examples of some of the types of comments and conditions that might be relevant to the location, size, and extent of the gap areas. Small Group Breakout Sessions Participants were divided into three small breakout groups to participate in an interactive mapping activity to discuss and suggest changes to the 14 identified gap areas. Each group was given a printout of all maps created to date to facilitate the discussion and take notes. Discussion questions included: ■ Do aspects of the population and/or zoning impact the size and shape of these gap areas? ■ Does proximity to other partner agency facilities and/or non-city-owned green spaces (i.e. schools, neighboring parks, HOAs) impact the size and shape of these gap areas? ■ Are there any additional areas that should be defined as a high severity of need gap area? Are there any existing that should not be? Following the breakout session, participants were asked to briefly report back on the key themes from their discussion. Key themes included: ■ Adjust the gap area boundaries to remove areas with commercial and/or industrial zoning. ■ Rethink the high severity classification of the gap areas over Mountain Park HOA and Mary's Woods/Marylhurst University due to the presence of non-city recreation opportunities that are potentially available to people who live in those areas (Gap Areas 4 and 14). ■ Consider improved pedestrian connectivity between gap areas and nearby recreation opportunities to alleviate access issues, especially when land is not available for additional parks and facilities in the gap areas themselves. ■ Consider additional barriers impacting gap areas such as challenging topography and roads that lack safe pedestrian crossings and sidewalks. ■ Recognize that people who own property fronting Lake Oswego have access to nature via the lake and consider adjusting gap area boundaries accordingly. ■ Recognize that playgrounds at schools don't serve children under school age during school hours. Gap Area Findings Table 1 outlines specific breakout group session findings and comments organized by gap area. LAKE OSWEGO PARKS PLAN 2040 12 Table 1: Breakout Session Findings by Gap Area Gap Area Comments 1 • Has access to Portland Community College Sylvania • Explore increased connectivity between gap area and West Waluga Park 2 • Consider removing southern half of gap area due to commercial zoning and lacking residential areas • Consider increased pedestrian connectivity between residential areas and adjacent recreational opportunities • Lots of young families • Reserve money for land acquisition 3 • Consider development of a park in the northern and/or southeastern portions of the gap area • Consider reducing size of southeastern portion of the gap area due to proximity to school in that area • Consider reducing gap area size due to industrial and commercial uses in central and southwestern portions of the gap area • Consider removing as a gap area or making it a lower priority due to overlap 4 with Mt. Park HOA • Steep terrain • Add more City trail connections 5 • Make higher priority due to equity indicators 6 • Consider removing eastern portion of gap area along Oswego Lake due to Lake Grove Swim Park access _ • Steep terrain 7 • Lacking developable land • Consider removing western end of gap area due to lake access 8 • No comments • Consider removing gap area due to lake access and proximity to Iron Mountain 9 Park • Build pedestrian crosswalk for access • Consider removing southern end of gap area along Oswego Lake 10 • Increase connectivity between gap area and Iron Mountain Park along Iron Mountain Blvd 11 • Steep terrain will cause development constraints • Consider proposed Willamette Greenway connection 12 • Consider a park with river access • Improve connectivity to Tryon Creek State Natural Area • Extend gap area further north 13 • Large single-family lots • May be large lot for sale with significant development potential; consider opportunity for creation of new park in that area as part of future development • Consider removing southern end of gap area due to access to the paths and 14 amenities at Marylhurst and Mary's Woods • Explore partnership with Mary's Woods • Add safe crossing across Highway 43 LAKE OSWEGO PARKS PLAN 2040 13 • Consider steep terrain of gap areas General • Highway 43 is a major barrier to park and river access Comments • Consider increased connectivity between gap areas and recreational opportunities Next Steps The Project Team will modify the gap areas based on CAC feedback. An updated gap area map and a revised Needs Assessment with supporting narrative will then be shared with CAC members for any last changes. The Parks Board will review the key findings from the CAC's small group breakout sessions and revised materials at their May meeting. Upcoming engagement events include a staff workshop in mid-May and a series of neighborhood workshops in late-May and early-June to discuss preliminary recommendations and priorities. The next CAC meeting will be scheduled in August to discuss preliminary recommendations, proposed projects, and summer engagement findings. The City of Lake Oswego is committed to providing equal access to information and meetings.
