From the start, our community by the Tualatin River has always been defined by connection and caring for one another. As residents and families, we feel a collective responsibility to maintain and improve public areas for all to enjoy. However, growing privatization threatens this bond, limiting access to our beloved river front.

Our community is experiencing rapid growth, particularly among families. With this in mind, it's crucial for us to focus on enhancing our park and recreational facilities. Currently, the Tualatin River front lacks adequate gathering spots and restroom facilities. We need the city council's support to purchase the land along the river, prevent this always public land from becoming privatized, and develop it into a welcoming, family-friendly environment.

The Tualatin River is not just a body of water; it's the heart where we congregate, form friendships, and establish a sense of community. Keeping it open and accessible for all isn't just about recreation—it’s about maintaining our community's spirit and cohesion. Let's urge our city council to prioritize families and the community by ensuring public access to the Tualatin River. Show your endorsement and sign this petition today!
