Tonight’s events have been canceled due to weather. We are sad but think this is the right choice.

The visitors center and interpretive center remain open until 5 with plenty of air conditioning and our two regular movies playing in the theatre.

Take care of your lungs and each other. We look forward to welcoming you back to events on the green when the smoke clears.

Due to the worsening weather conditions, tonight's National Night Out event has been cancelled.
Tonight's Movies in the Park event has also been cancelled.

We've been awarded a grant! We can't wait to work together with the Oregon City - City Hall to enrich and improve our site. Check out the link for more information: https://www.oregonmetro.gov/stories/community-choice-grants

We won't be taking this for granted!
Oregon City was awarded $2.4 million in grant funding from Metro today. $1.5 million is from the Nature in Neighborhoods Capital Grant, which was awarded for Clackamette Park redevelopment efforts.
Another $880,000 was awarded to seven individual projects you helped make happen by voting through Metro's Nature In Community Choice Grants process. Three separate projects that are part of the Clackamette Park redevelopment earned support, as did new inclusive nature play structures at Rivercrest and Chapin Parks, improvements to the garden at the End of the Oregon Trail, and an educational pollinator garden site to be built. Thank you Oregon City and Metro!
