GreenWorks Help to Connect Local Kids to Nature

GreenWorks is excited to begin the Westmoreland Nature Play Area Project with Portland Parks and Recreation. In this pilot project for the parks department we will explore what natural play means for Portland residents and what it may look like. As landscape architects GreenWorks has always been a strong supporter for integrating nature into the built environment. In the natural play area we will integrate play and children's learning with natural themes. Keep your eyes peeled for the community workshops this spring and join in the fun!

A Neighborhood Shows Support for Their New Park

GreenWorks recently conducted the first of two public workshops for the Anderegg Property Park in the City of Damascus. The purpose of the open house was to engage the community to learn what they would like to see in their new neighborhood park. The event was well attended with residents and children from the Trillium neighborhood who were all excited to hear about the plans for a park and provide feedback on what they would like included in the design of the park. Children were also allowed to participate and provided imaginative designs for their vision of a park as illustrated in the image below. The park is a joint partnership with the City of Damascus and the North Clackamas Parks and Recreation District.
