Metro Councilor Rod Park appeared on the "Fairview 15" edition of Civic Agenda to talk about future improvements at Metro’s Blue Lake Regional Park. Fairview 15, a monthly series produced by Metroeast Community Media, highlights relevant information and events for the communities located in East Multnomah County, Fairview, Gresham and Troutdale.
Highlights from the interview include an update on the new Blue Lake Nature and Golf Learning Center anticipated to open in Summer 2010. The project includes a nine-hole family golf course, a six-hole pitch and putt course, a pre-engineered golf and operations building, and a covered driving range. Plans also include replacement of The Lake House event center, restoration of an existing wetland and other improvements to Blue Lake Regional Park.
The project will provide increased revenue for the park and offer visitors new and improved amenities including a fitness trail, wildlife watching opportunities and connections to the nearby 40-Mile Loop Trail.
