Bringing a new community center, park and libraries to the Oak Lodge and Gladstone communities
Clackamas County and the North Clackamas Parks & Recreation District (NCPRD), in partnership with the City of Gladstone, are bringing a new community center, park and 2 libraries to the Oak Lodge and Gladstone communities. Planning for these community facilities began in early 2019 and all projects are tentatively scheduled to begin construction in 2022.
There will be opportunities throughout the project for area residents and the public to share thoughts and ideas about the future community center, park and libraries. Help shape the future of these new community services by attending regular task force meetings and public events, and by providing input by taking the online surveys.

Background
Oak Lodge and Gladstone Libraries
In October 2017, Clackamas County and the City of Gladstone agreed to provide new library facilities and services to the residents of the Gladstone and Oak Lodge library service areas. Clackamas County will build and operate 2 new library facilities, one located within the City of Gladstone and the other within the Oak Lodge library service area.
The new Gladstone Library will be located at the previous Gladstone City Hall site on 525 Portland Ave. The new City Hall is located at 18505 Portland Ave. The new Oak Lodge Library will be on the Concord Property.
Concord Property Community Center and Park
In March 2018, NCPRD took ownership of Concord Elementary School in Oak Grove as part of a strategic partnership with North Clackamas School District to:
- Revitalize the vacant building and surrounding open space for public use
- Provide new parks, community spaces, amenities and recreational opportunities to the Oak Grove and Jennings Lodge areas and throughout NCPRD
- Provide a location for NCPRD administrative offices
