June 17, 2011 I am a person who appreciates and uses Nadaka park. I remember when the Camp Fire girls enjoyed day camp there and was pleased when the the park became available for public use. My husband and I have walked the loop with our dog. What a tranquil place in the heart of the suburbs. The park is close to my mother's Alzheimer's home, Pacific Gardens. I have noticed employees from P.G. taking their lunch breaks there. Their job is anything but peaceful. The proximity of the south gate of the park really helps them regenerate their positive spirit quickly so they can do the second half of their shifts. |

I often drive down Glisan coming and going from Mom's. I see students with their backpacks on, using the south gate to pass through the park, I assume to walk to school. The beauty of the walk through the park must lift their spirits too. My mom is pretty frail, but now that the weather has improved, we will use the south gate entrance for a good walk for her, while staying close to her care center. She will feel like she has had a big adventure. I encourage you to keep the gates open to this lovely little park. It feels so "Oregon". I would hate to loose the privilege of conveniently using it. Sincerely, |
