Proyecto de piscina comunitaria Kiwanis
En 2019, el Departamento de Parques, Recreación e Instalaciones comenzó a trabajar para planificar el reemplazo de la piscina Kiwanis de más de 60 años. A través de la divulgación a grupos de usuarios de piscinas existentes y grupos de vecindarios, se creó un plan conceptual y un presupuesto que permitiría un mayor acceso a los habitantes de Portland de todas las capacidades, incluido un nuevo enfoque en el acceso ADA, el área de entrada cero para personas con problemas de movilidad y niños pequeños. , así como características recreativas mejoradas para adolescentes y adultos jóvenes. Los carriles de natación y las áreas de instrucción también fueron importantes para los grupos comunitarios. Desde 2019, se ha preparado una visión para una piscina del siglo XXI que atraiga a una amplia variedad de habitantes de Portland de todas las habilidades y orígenes. Ubicada en el vibrante vecindario de Libbytown y muy cerca de numerosos desarrollos de viviendas para la fuerza laboral, la nueva piscina en Dougherty Field promete ser un centro recreativo y un espacio de reunión comunitaria para las generaciones venideras.
