Thomas Park

Undeveloped Thomas Park near SW Thomas and 53rd consists of a large grassy open area surrounded by homes on three sides and SW Thomas. Vista Soccer wanted to develop a level play area here, but lack of parking and park functional plan for the park have that project on hold.

A park functional plan consists of a vision for the park that talks about what types of activities and uses it should support and where. It specifies appropriate management and on-going community involvement and considers how a park relates to and is connected to other parks, to pedestrian and bicycle routes, and to natural resources.

If you are interested in forming/joining a Friends of Thomas Park that could begin work on a functional plan by collecting ideas, concerns, and aspirations for the Park please contact Chris Kahle at 503-292-2662.
