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.
Area residents have helped shape these community services through two volunteer task forces, as well as interviews, surveys, open houses and other outreach opportunities. You can get involved by attending task force meetings and public events.
