The next phase of Blue Lake Regional Park’s remodel requires a bit of rapport with Portland residents.
Although work has been underway for over a year — demolishing old structures + installing new water and sewer systems — Metro now wants the public to help choose a design before building out more tangible renovations like picnic shelters and swimming docks.
The three potential designs are available to view online (in English and Spanish) and provide feedback. Despite similarities, there are key distinctions for each design:
- “Embraced” emphasizes natural areas.
- “Woven” offers the most diverse park experiences.
- “Big Hearted” creates larger central active areas.
You have until Thursday, Aug. 15 to take the open house survey.
Metro expects construction on the amenities to start in 2026 or 2027, with projects prioritized based on community input.
