City Seeks Public Input to Help Shape the Future of Boones Ferry Park

The City of Wilsonville Parks and Recreation Department seeks public feedback through December as part of the master-planning process for Boones Ferry Park. Based on initial suggestions by community members at two prior workshops held in September and October, three conceptual plans have been developed with various elements. Online feedback is accepted until Dec. 31 at the project website, www.WilsonvilleParksandRec.com/BoonesFerry.

The existing seven-acre park is located adjacent to almost four acres of forested waterfront property to the east, three undeveloped acres to the west between the railroad tracks and Boones Ferry Road and three forested acres to the north. Community members are asked to share their feedback and preferences for development options, which include greater river access, nature play, a dog park, wooded trail system and a number of other options. 

The three concept options for public review are themed:

• Concept 1: Engage the River

• Concept 2: Historical Focus

• Concept 3: Activated Park
