Mirror Pond Visioning Project in Bend, Oregon

GreenWorks has started consulting work with Bend Parks and Recreation District on alternatives that will provide four different solutions for the community to  consider for the iconic Mirror Pond on the Deschutes River in Bend, Oregon. Each option, ranging from taking out a dam to dredging or something in between, will illustrate the visual impact, cost estimates, regulatory requirements, challenges and opportunities. GreenWorks visited the site recently. Click on this link to watch a video for more information

Parking Redesign Project at Memorial Park

GreenWorks is working with Wallis Engineering on the redesign of the parking lot located in the lower portion of Memorial Park for the City of Wilsonville in Oregon. A concept plan has been completed and has been posted on the City’s website as part of an online open house to solicit public comments.

Nature-Play Areas Developed at Roger Tilbury Memorial Park

After completing the Master Plan, GreenWorks is currently in the Design Development phase for  Roger Tilbury Memorial Park for Tualatin Hills Parks and Recreation District.  The 12 Acre site includes traditional neighborhood park features, nature-based play areas, and an accessible trail network. The neighborhood park is a unique site due to its large size and significant natural features including heavily wooded areas with steep topography and a stream protected by a vegetated corridor regulated by Clean Water Services. The project has some very interesting concepts for nature-based play including an active area with a long embankment slide, a building area designed to feel like a remnant log fort, and a discovery area intended to represent the wildlife and natural character of the site. Stormwater is gathered from a swale and sent cascading down a natural creek bed and then ending at a collection point at the bobcat den.  

Lake Oswego 2nd Street / Green Street Under Construction

We have been working on a very exciting green street project with the City of Lake Oswego right in the heart of their downtown business core. Construction began just a couple of weeks ago and quite a bit of progress has been made already. Below are images of the formwork for the southern most flow-through planters and the concrete truck filling up the forms. Needless to say we are very excited about this construction work and will have more updates as the work progresses.
