IN\'TR'ODUCTION
Woodard Park is a three-acre neighborhood park on Fanno Creek near Fowler Middle
School. It currently contains two play structures,picnic tables,and an asphalt trail from
Johnson Street to Karol Court. Fanno Creek forms the boundaries on the south and east
SidePR a-d floods Vhe park almost o.A.,, 11- 0_ nthe
® residences and by seven acres recently acquired by Metro through the Greenspaces
Program. According to the Fanno Creel:T rail MiLaster PNau,a scgruvui of ilue trail
eventually go through both Woodard Park and the Metro property.
As part of the Paris System Master Plan process for the City of Tigard,MIG,Inc.was
asked to develop a concept plan for Woodard Park and the adjacent Metro property.
PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
A community workshop was held in March 1998,to gamer input from neighbors and
other interested community members about the future of this neighborhood park and the
adjoining acreage. MIG,Inc.,led a site tour and,following the tour,facilitated a design
workshop at Fowler Junior High School. Participants shared comments and
observations,which were recorded on a large wallgraphic. Thcy also submitted writte
comments. In general,the direction from the community was to go gently,make only
minimal changes,keep the natural character,and provide picnic tables,benches,
children's play areas,and a place for horseback riding. (For a complete summary,see
Woodard Park Workshop Report,March 7,1998.)
A second workshop was held in May in conjunction with the Citizens Involvement Team
meeting. The purpose was to present two concepts in response to needs and concerns
expressed during the first workshop. One concept showed recreational facilities on the
existing Woodard Park site,and trails on the north acreage. The second concept was
designed with minimal recreational facilities on the Metro property to the north,and
floodplain and riparian restoration on the south. Both concepts included a proposed
wetland mitigation area on Metro property that had been requested for use by Oregon
Department of Transportation. Participants expressed a preference for the alternative
showing recreational facilities on the north out of the floodplain,with the lower south
side designated for floodplain and riparian restoration.
E COORDINATION WITH METRO
rn
y, Subsequent communications with Metro staff resulted in
a ■ the removal of basketball/wall ball court to reduce the amount of
impervious surface;
e i s the removal of soft-surface trail where it was redundant or where it
f might result in stream or wetland degradation;and
the removal of a wetland overlook.
