Public meeting on Bob and Crystal Rilee Park

An informational public meeting on Bob and Crystal Rilee Park will take place at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 1, at the farmhouse at Bob and Crystal Rilee Park at 10500 Parrett Mt. Road in Newberg. This meeting is free and open to the public. Anyone who is interested is encouraged to attend.

Together with CPRD, WH Pacific will present an overview of the 300+-acre property, based on the results of the Environmental Assessment Report; an update on the Land Use decision process regarding the final hearing on CPRD’s application for a zoning change from agricultural use to be zoned as a park; and the next steps in the direction of forming a trails masterplan for the property.

This zoning change would allow the property to be used as a park, and will also allow hosting of events with a maximum of 100 people. There will be no amplified sound permitted after 10 p.m. The use of trails, including equestrian trails, will remain open and unaffected by this change.

Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue will participate in a discussion on issues related to fire prevention and control.

For questions, contact CPRD Public Information Coordinator Kat Ricker at 971.832.4222.
