Gladstone and Oak Lodge Community Facilities

New libraries, community center, park and playground are open in Oak Lodge/Gladstone area

The opening of the new Gladstone Library building in September 2024 marked the halfway point of Clackamas County's plan to design and build two libraries to meet the growing needs of residents — one in the city of Gladstone and one in the Oak Lodge service area.

The Grand Opening of the new Oak Lodge Library was held October 18, as part of the community celebration for all the new public amenities on the Concord site, including the new North Clackamas Parks and Recreation District (NCPRD) community center and park. More than 2,000 people came to enjoy the live music, speeches, refreshments, games and activities.

The two libraries are jointly operated by the county to maximize efficiency, achieve economies of scale and provide high-quality, consistent services to all residents.

Adjacent to the new Oak Lodge Library, the North Clackamas Parks & Recreation District (NCPRD) repurposed the Concord School building to serve as a community center and constructed a park and accessible playground. (NCPRD construction update)
