Youth Quake Works on CPRD Parks

As part of a camp at George Fox University this week, Youth Quake middle school student volunteers gathered from Oregon, Washington, Alaska and Idaho performed community service at CPRD parks. We extend a big THANK YOU to Youth Quake!


Here is the breakdown.

Chehalem Cultural Center – 10 volunteers spread barkdust and weeded

Adult Enrichment Center – 10 volunteers spread barkdust and weeded

Buckley Park – 20 volunteers spread 96 yards of new cedar chips in the playground

Armory Park – 20 volunteers spread 100 yards of new cedar chips in the playground

Friends Park - 30 volunteers removed several hundred yards of invasive Himalayan blackberries as high as 15' from an old chainlink fence so that the fence can be taken out and the park developed.



Ewing Young Dog Park Progress


Friday, volunteers helped us set fenceposts in the future dog park at Ewing Young Historical Park - at the end of newly-paved Blaine Street.

Sneak Peek at the New CPRD Website


We'll be giving a sneak peek at our website redesign during Old Fashioned Festival. Stop by our booth and watch the video that will appear on the homepage. We'll also be giving demonstrations intermittently throughout the festival.

The new website will launch this fall. We're pretty excited about it and hope you will be, too!
