You're Invited!
You bring a picnic basket, or pick up something delicious to eat from a Downtown restaurant or the Gresham Farmers' Market, and we'll provide the fun with an opportunity to take a closer look at the future of Gresham parks.
Parks Picnic on the Plaza, a first-year event produced by the City in partnership with the Center for the Arts Foundation, Gresham Downtown Development Association, and the Historic Downtown Gresham Business Association, features:
- Lively music by the Federal Cigar Jug Band
- Old-fashioned field games – including baby races to crown the fastest future parks user!
- Prizes
- Photo gallery of winners from the Aug. 1 "Picture Your Parks" community photo contest
- Information vendors representing a variety of community organizations and programs including People for Parks; EastSide United FC; El Programa Hispano; and the City's Our Parks, Our Future outreach program. Sign up to stay involved.
Our Parks, Our Future, which launched this spring, asks a simple question: What can the community do to keep Gresham parks going today, and growing to meet the needs of tomorrow?
Sponsors
Generous sponsorship support for the event has been provided by the Center for the Arts Foundation; Legacy Mount Hood Medical Center; Stamp-Connection.com; PHC Northwest; WHH Foundation; Champions; Gresham Outlook; and CatonPhoto.com.
