Oregon 97035 (503) 635-0363 Mike Henley, Director Department of Parks and Recreation 380 A Avenue P.O. Box 369 Lake Oswego, OR 97034 Dear Mr. Henley, River Grove Elementary School is located in the southwest corner of Lake Oswego School District. It is in Clackmas County between the incorporated areas of the City of Lake Oswego and the City of River Grove. Our students participate in all of the Lake Oswego sport club activities, as well as those offered by the City Recreation Department. The city uses River Grove for some of its indoor classes and has first right of refusal on our recreational facilities as a result of the joint use agreement between the city and the public schools. We are an integral part of the sports and recreational community of Lake Oswego. Our fields are large and available for the youth of our area. They could be utilized by a community starved for playing fields, although, unfortunely, they are substandard and not playable. While River Grove children benefit from improved fields at other Lake Oswego schools, we would like to request that the City of Lake Oswego join with the school district to improve the playing fields at River Grove in the interest of all of the children both within and outside the city limits of Lake Oswego. I believe our school district is willing to join with the city to improve the playing fields at River Grove School. Please explore with us the possibilities of increasing the use of our fields by improving their condition. All of our children will thank you. Sincerely yours, 311-kvt- a, 'f-A-At--a-A;(-' John A. Turchi Principal VkcEos� °REGO. L ./ `-'" • DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS MEMORANDUM , , TO: Parks and Recreation Commission FROM: Pathways Advisory Committee (LOPATHS) RE: Pathways Master Plan Amendment DATE: October 26, 1993 The City Council has requested the Pathways Advisory Committee to commence the process to delete the reference in the Pathways Master Plan to the funds-in-lieu of • construction alternative. A copy of the proposed amendment is attached. Jeff Condit reviewed the material and provided the wording in the last sentence. LOPATHS presented the proposal at its annual public hearing on October 21, 1993, in accordance with Section IX of the Plan. A motion was passed unanimously recommending approval of the amendment to Section III, Paragraph 3 of the Pathways Master Plan as proposed. It must now be forwarded to the Parks and Recreation Commission for adoption and then to City Council for ratification, subject to the condition, however, that the provision requiring property owners to provide right-of- way or an easement is not an illegal infringement upon property rights. Please notify LOPATHS when the amendment process has been completed and we will take care of updating the Pathways Master Plan document.

JC/kaa 10/13/93 • c\wlnwocd\pw\joe\amend.doc • TO : PARK AND RECREATION DEPT . FROM: JOHN DEJAGER DATE : SEPT . 19 , 1993 I am a longtime Lake Oswego resident who recently moved into the area around Bryant Woods Nature Park . I would like to make a few suggestions that would improve the park . If these suggestions would be considered at the next Park and Recreation meeting concerning park improvements I would appreciate it . I will list them in order of greatest need. 1 . Improve existing paths in the park . To have a nature park is a good start , but if it is not getting very much use we need to ask ourselves why and work to alleviate the reasons . One of the main problems is that the existing paths are either to narrow or to uneven or both to walk on comfortably . It is very difficult and unappealing for our elderly or parents with small children to walk on a path that is very rocky or uneven without spending the majority of their time looking at the ground so they won ' t twist • an ankle or fall and break a hip . It also would be nice if the paths were wide enough that a mother and child or a couple could walk hand in hand without one of them dropping off the path . The way the paths are now in many areas you are going to snag your clothes on bushes or get them wet on rainy days because the bushes or grass is rubbing up against you. That is if you are lucky enough not to get your eyes gouged out from a low hanging branch. I think you get my drift . 2 . Increase the number of paths in the park . At least make one good loop that went around the perimeter of the park . 3 . Make a small raised foot bridge on the area shown on the map . This would be a short bridge of probably only 20-30 feet . This particular area that it would cover is to wet to walk over 6 months out of the year without getting your feet wet . This would enable people to continue on the path without having to turn back year-round. With a little bit of work this park could be utilized yearlong by a greater number of people with a more user friendly network of paths . FUTURE CCNSIDERATICNS FOR THE PARK AND RECREATION DEPT . • 1 . Put a path around the 7 acre park south of River Run housing development . 2 . Put a series of paths around Canal Acres . Either on the 13 acres that will be donated by the developer of the project if it goes through , or on the existing property if it is added as a • City Park . 3 . Connect the pathways from these two parcels with that of Bryant Woods Park to create a truely usable an outstanding network of paths for the South Lake Oswego area . I ' ve lived in the Lake Oswego area for 15 years and intend on staying here until they carry me out in a pine box . I think the Park and Rec Dept . and the other city departments have done an outstanding job of making this city very livable . I would like to see you continue on this path by making the improvements I mentioned and to evaluate the future considerations I listed. If I can be of any assistance please feel free to contact me .
