Abbey Creek Park—Phase 2 Update: 

The Board of Directors approved the Phase 2 concept plan in November. A survey was conducted in December but we didn’t get the info to share with you, and it’s now closed. 

THPRD planning says, “We are currently compiling the info from the survey and will be putting a summary together for our evaluation which will help us determine the amenities for the Toddler and Teen Zone areas of the concept plan. We will be updating the webpage by mid-January with the decisions on the amenities for those areas. 

Introducing Capulin (kehp-uh-leen) Park

We’re finalizing a preliminary park concept plan for the new park coming to the vicinity of SW Pointer Road in the West Slope area and are excited to show it off to the community. The name Capulin is a slang term for cherry that was used by Bracero workers picking Bing Cherries in the Pacific Northwest. The term Bracero refers to people from Mexico who came to the United States to work as seasonal agricultural workers in the early and mid-1900s. When the Bracero agricultural workers saw Oregon cherries, they were reminded of Capulin cherries native to Central and South America. By naming this park, Capulin Park, THPRD is choosing to honor the rich history and contributions of the Bracero workers who provided critical agricultural labor in Oregon for many years.
