Scott Park Project

Scott Park is located beside the Ledding Library at 10662 SE 21^st St., next to Spring Creek Pond in downtown Milwaukie. The site is designated as a natural resource area due to the valuable habitat it provides for domestic and migratory waterfowl. The park is a key pedestrian destination and serves as an important site for residential, commercial and civic functions.

PARK CONCEPT PLANNING
The city is creating a new park concept plan through a comprehensive public engagement process. Throughout 2022, the city hosted three large public events, multiple online surveys and focus groups with Milwaukie's Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) community members. Summaries of the engagement that we received are available on this website.

The 2022 concept plan for Scott Park was approved by city council in December 2022 (see link below).
