Thatcher Community Park

Project
Thatcher Community Park was developed on a 25.5-acre site situated in the City of Forest Grove’s urban growth boundary but still viewed as a rural area.

Coordination with several public agencies was necessary to ensure all...Learn more

For instance, the soccer and baseball fields have separate entrances and entry plazas, and...Learn more

Project
Funded entirely by student referendum, Student Legacy Park provides a much loved intramural athletic facility and campus gathering area in the core of the Oregon State University campus.

The design features landscaped and hardscaped entry nodes...Learn more
