Some very nice amenities are coming to Berrydale Park, a 6.3-acre park in Portland’s Montavilla neighborhood. With Commissioner Dan Ryan’s approval of an additional $1 million, the improvement project can proceed (the total funding sourced from system development charges sits at $4 million).
Work will create new playgrounds (for ages 2-5 and 5-12) and a skatepark, as well as new accessible pathways, tables, benches, lighting, and landscaping.
“It will be tremendously gratifying when the park transforms from an outdated play structure and a site with no park paths into a neighborhood gem,” said Ryan. “The community made it clear that providing accessible pathways would allow more people to enjoy the park.”
Construction is slated to start later this year, with an estimated completion in fall 2025.
