HISTORY AND FUNDING

Ewing Young is one of the most fascinating figures in the history of west.

Born in Tennessee in 1799, he made his living as a fur trapper and trader, and spent his entire adult life on the edge of the American frontier.

Permanent, non-native settlement of Newberg and Yamhill County begins with Young’s arrival in 1834.

The park first became a reality in 1966 and its namesake is one of the most interesting civic leaders to ever reside in Newberg.

• The longest slide in Oregon! Stainless steel 30'
• Schaad Park Loop Trail zig zags nearly a mile up a steep hill to an outstanding view.

Walter Robert Schaad bequeathed this parcel of land and funds to develop this park in commemoration of the Schaad family. Schaad Park was officially dedicated on May 16, 2013.

Welcome to Ewing Young Park, one of Chehalem Park and Recreation District’s 22 parks open to your enjoyment.

Ewing Young is one of the most fascinating figures in the history of west.

Tom Gail Park was dedicated on July 12, 2008. It was made possible with a gift of 3.25 acres, thanks to the generosity of Tom Gail, a physician who practiced medicine locally for over 40 years.

Jaquith Park is named for Walter Jaquith, a Newberg minister, and one of five original board members of the district when it was founded in June 1965.

Jaquith’s work to help create new parks had actually begun in 1963.

At that time, he led a group of local civic leaders in a series of meetings to discuss how best to serve the growing recreational needs of the city.
