About Nadaka
Nadaka Nature Park is a designated 10-acre open space "natural area" acquired by the City of Gresham from the Camp Fire organization in 1995 that includes a walking trail loop, tall trees, native plants, and a beautiful grassy meadow. Formerly the Camp Fire Girl organization's Nature Day Camp (Na-Da-Ka). Nadaka is located in the Wilkes East Neighborhood just north of 176th & NE Glisan St. There two public entrances to the nature park. The south entrance is at 176th & NE Glisan (park in St Aidans Church east lot) and the north entrance at 176h & NE Pacific Ave (park curbside). Get Map!
About the Nelson Property
The Nelson Property is a 2.0-acre parcel located adjacent to and south of the City-owned Nadaka Nature Park, fronting NE Glisan Street at NE 176th.
In 2009 Wilkes East Neighborhood Association and Friends of Nadaka successfully obtained a Metro Nature in Neighborhoods Capital Grant, a grant from the East Multnomah Soil & Water Conservation District and a donation from the Nelson Family Trust to purchase the 2.0 arce site for use as a neighborhood park. The Trust For Public Lands negotiated the purchase.
The Master Plan includes approximately 1/3 of the property to be community gardens and orchard. There will also be picnic tables, a nature-based play area, and public restrooms. A walking loop will connect the Nelson Neighborhood Park with Nadaka Nature Park. You can view the master plan drawing here. The Nelson Property Summary Report and Community Forum Summary Reports (located here, and here) are available on the City's website.
