Community

WENA and the City of Gresham Parks & Recreation Dept believe volunteer participation is an essential part of community development. Through volunteer involvement you can help cultivate and preserve parks, trails, and natural areas in our neighborhoods. With this in mind the Parks Dept is organizing community groups to take ownership in their neighborhood parks.

Nadaka Park

Nadaka Park is a lovely 10-acre parcel of land formerly known as the "Campfire property." It is located in the Wilkes East neighborhood north of NE Glisan Street. The entrance to the park is at NE 176th Ave and NE Pacific St. It is a natural area with a walking/hiking loop trail.

Land Use Issue

Site Location: 16701 NE Hassalo St. This is a proposed 3-parcel partition on this property. There is one existing house and it is proposed to build 2 townhouses behind the existing house.

The northern most townhouse must face north because of a proposed future street plan. The future street plan would extend Multnomah Terrace from NE 166th Avenue to NE 169th Avenue.
