Concept plans for four Milwaukie Neighborhood parks developed with community input

North Clackamas Parks & Recreation District (NCPRD) and the City of Milwaukie are partnering to plan and develop the parks, which are currently known as Balfour, Bowman-Brae, Robert Kronberg  and Wichita parks. While funding to build the parks is not currently available, community input will help shape the concepts for the future parks.

The refined concept plans for the four Milwaukie parks that were developed this fall can be viewed at: http://ncprd.com/planning/four-future-parks-milwaukie.
