Be part of the process and join the city of Independence for a groundbreaking ceremony of Sunset Meadows Park (889 Maple St. Independence, Oregon 97351) on Tuesday, April 2, 2024, at 4 PM. Giveaways and snacks are provided.

The park project will include installing Nature Play Equipment and seating suitable for picnicking by small groups such as picnic tables. A safety surface (engineered wood fiber or similar) will also be installed. The installation will include concrete work to tie the project location into the existing trail infrastructure and connect individual site elements. Funded through grants and System Development charges, this park will bring to fruition the vision expressed by our community during the 2015 Parks Master Plan, creating an important new amenity for families in one of our city’s newest neighborhoods.

Construction of the park is set to start this month and continue until October 2024.
