It has been years in the making and now, due to the hard work and diligence of the Multnomah Village community, we are moments away from making the dream of a nature-based play area at Spring Garden Park  a reality.  The Spring Garden Park Nature Play First Installation Task Force has been established to help develop the first play features envisioned in the park’s Master Plan. The Task Force wants you to come play with us.  Help us develop the concepts for the nature play area of the Park.  This hands–on, all ages activity will take place August 13, 2011, from 9am to 12pm at Spring Garden Park, 3332  SW Spring Garden St. This is your chance to play with sticks and dirt - and in the process, create something special for the community!
