Parks and Recreation Advisory
Board
The Parks & Recreation Advisory Board was
established in 2003 and consists of 7 Tigard
citizens. In addition to the seven voting
members there is representation from the
Planning Commission , Youth Advisory
Council , and the Tigard-Tualatin School
District.
Why does Tigard need to acquire :
More Open Space?
More Wetlands?
More Park Land ?
The 1999 Parks Master
Plan calls for 11 acres of
parks per 1 , 000 residents .
Reality
• Actual acreage:
— less than 8 acres (7.6) per 1 ,000 residents.
• Compared to other communities:
— Portland has 44 acres per 1 ,000
— Lake Oswego has 16 acres per 1 ,000
— Tualatin and THP&RD have 8 acres per 1 ,000
• Of the 351 acres of park land, 179 acres are developed .
• There are NO parks in Northeast or Southwest Tigard

Tigard residents want
more parks
The results of a survey conducted in 2004
show that:
• Residents were in favor of a $5 million bond
measure (9¢ annually per $ 1 ,000 of assessed
property value) to purchase wetlands and green
space by 49% to 38% .
• Residents supported the statement "I like the
idea that the city is considering the protection of
natural wetlands and greenways. I favor the
idea that would preserve our natural resources"
by 69% to 25%. This was, by far, the most
favorable response to any proposal on that
survey.
