History of the Bond

Back on August 8, 2022, Tualatin City Council passed a resolution to include a parks bond on the November ballot for new park investments. This bond measure authorizes up to $25,000,000 in principal amount of general obligation bonds to finance capital costs related to trails, natural areas, sports fields, parks, and river access; and is expected to include a new east-west trail corridor and public access point on the Tualatin River, new and improved sports fields, and parks improvements citywide.

New trails will create connections to reduce traffic, improve pedestrian safety, and promote healthy transportation options. Expanding Tualatin’s trail connections will make parks, schools, and transit stops accessible to more community members. Additional access to and the creation of sports fields in City parks and through a cost-effective partnership with the School District will provide places for youth health and wellness. Creating a new riverfront destination in Tualatin’s downtown will enhance local businesses, provide environmental education opportunities, and create a place for truly accessible river access.
